White Sox ‘Getz’ their man: Q&A with new front office executive
On Oct. 21, the White Sox officially hired Chris Getz as their director of player development. For a team that loves to hire its old players, this wasn’t exactly breaking new ground. But it wasn’t exactly telegraphed either.
Getz, 33, was a fourth-round pick of the White Sox in 2005 and made his debut on April 28, 2008. By the next year, he was the starting second baseman (100 starts) on a team that flirted with contention before finishing with a sub-.500 record.
