"I always had faith in Chris Getz and this organization to turn things around. I remember back in '05 when the Sox almost gave me a tryout to be on the postseason roster" - Larry Holmes today, probably @fromthe108
Getz traded Crochet for Meidroth, Teel, and Montgomery
Getz traded Erick Fedde for Miguel Vargas, then brought Fedde back two years later
Getz acquired both Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin in a salary dump trade
Getz signed Munetaka Murakami
Chris Getz tore this team down to the studs, and in two years built a playoff roster from the ground up.
I hope he partied just as hard as the rest of the team did last night. He deserves it!
