PrintSo larry's unrelenting attempts to get me to live up to my title have borne fruit. I emailed Chris Getz to see if he would be interested in doing an interview for the site. He consented, so now I'm soliciting question suggestions for Mr. Getz. What say you, masses of SSS?

The Braves have an eye on the available White Sox veterans: Jermaine Dye, Nick Swisher, and Javier Vazquez.
His stats are as good as Fields -- that's the sad thing
mlbtraderumors cited some columnist saying ATL was interested
A poster then proposed Swisher and Vazquez for Kelly Johnson. It was a good read, my life is richer for it.

Getz Question
What do you think your greatest strength is as a hitter, and how polished is your defense?
His stats are as good as Fields -- that's the sad thing
This season in Charlotte, you were considerably better at home as opposed to on the road...
Do you ever check your home/away splits to measure just how much better you were hitting at home? Do you consider there to be any mitigating factors accounting for the disparity in split, other than the dimensions in Charlotte?
Also a terrible question
I highly doubt any player would admit to looking at their own splits to see how much they blow on the road.

Yankees Interested in Swisher?
8:43pm: Ken Davidoff says the Yankees had “extremely preliminary” talks with the Sox regarding Swisher. Something to keep an eye on if the Yanks don’t sign Mark Teixeira. Additionally, Davidoff says the White Sox are not anxious to unload Vazquez.
His stats are as good as Fields -- that's the sad thing
Additionally, Davidoff says Kenny Williams isn't a total moron.
phew, and I was worried!

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
LEGEND?
Baggarly expects the Giants to quietly explore the market for Aaron Rowand, which could include the Yankees and White Sox. Rowand is owed $44MM over the next four seasons, and has no-trade protection.
His stats are as good as Fields -- that's the sad thing
Will there ever be another off season when Rowand rumors aren't mentioned?

really shouldn't be that surprising.
most people like to some degree or another and athletes usually want to get in good with fans. how many times do you think getz has been asked for a lengthy interview by anyone since he turned pro? probably can count it on one hand. that’s why i told colin to do this.
colin’s final question should be whether he’d provide the email address of another player who would be willing to do a similar interview. this is how you get things started. do a good job interviewing three or four guys and you’ll be able to go back to them when they’re “bigger” and still get the interview. A’s Nation and other blogs have done similar stuff.

And lastly, “Are you a fan of Randy Newman?”.

Seeing as the White Sox have got rid of Pablo Ozuna, Danny Richar, Juan Uribe and Orlando Cabrera over the last year through different methods, it must be a pretty big confidence boost to see they are comfortable enough to only sign another career minor leaguer so far to compete with you for the spot.
Do you think as a baseball player it helps you play better when there is less competition and you have the inside track at the starting job, so you can just focus on playing baseball, or do you think you play better when there is someone looking over your shoulder fighting for the same job?
and I second MM.. if you get to pick your at bat song what it would be. I think most fan’s think about what their own song would be.

reifert has his people read the white sox fansites. not to mention that it’s likely the target of the interview is going to read/hear about this.

Patience v. Aggression
You’ve always had a pretty good eye. As a hitter, how do you balance the need to be patient in order to lay off the bad pitches with the need to be aggressive and attack the pitches you can drive?
Last year in Charlotte, you had a lot more extra base hits than you ever had before, even in college. Why do you think that was? Did you change your approach? Did you grow stronger? Is that park a much better place to hit? What are your personal expectations/goals for power production going forward?
Were you disappointed when you were told you had to go back to AA Birmingham in 2007? Do players feel there is a stigma in having to repeat a level?
Does Q’s internal awesomeness give off a visible glow or is it limited to just his bats?
Questions:
Don’t you hate when BA comes by and gets his Cheeto orange-stained hands all over your shit?
What does Q smell like?
Can you tell Paulie’s mood by the amount of facial hair he has?
Who is the fastest back to the bench after striking out? My bet is Jerry Owens.
actually i always wondered what happens when you get called up. Like where do you sleep? Somebody’s couch?
no seriously WHAT DOES Q SMELL LIKE??!?!?!?
house money!!
My exact thoughts everyday!
Classic one though!

unrelated note, robert.
wasn’t it your question prior to the season re: who to keep in your fantasy league from oswalt, hunter, ordonez, etc.? just wondering how that turned out for you and whether i still have the knack for fantasy (as opposed to “real world”) analysis. constructive criticism is always helpful.
Your mind is robotic larry!
How you remember that, I don’t know.
Yes, that was my question….I forget what everyone told me to due, but it turned out like garbage. Last year I finished in second place out of 12, this year I finished in 8th – so that is the last time I ask for any constructive fantasy analysis from this board!
I had Hunter, H. Ramirez, Oswalt, and Ordonez – could only keep two. So I kept H. Ramirez and Oswalt. Oswalt wasn’t too good early on and then got hurt, so I freaked a bit and traded him, then after the break he got hot.
I had a heck of a team at the end of the year, but I couldn’t get everyone hot at the same time.
Who do I keep next year – this is who I got that is worth keeping:
G. Soto
R. Howard
M. Cabrera
C. Beltran
H. Ramirez
Beckett
Billingsly
J. Santana
I would think Ramirez and Santana??

he would have remembered anyway, i'm sure, but i hat tipped him on his oswalt call a few weeks ago.

by Toonderstrook on Nov 6, 2008 10:28 AM CST up reply actions
i think that's right.
might want to ask as you get closer to your draft – i have to give a hat tip to ron shandler for help in my oswalt over ordonez call. while i don’t play anymore, i still read shandler’s book because i think it’s a great forecast whether you do fantasy or not. a lot of the analysis and projections haven’t been published yet.
sorry you (apparently) took my advice but didn’t ride it out. it sure did look bad early in the season.
and, yes, i remembered throughout the season and actually was checking during the season to see how i was doing versus tdogg’s ordonez pick. no real use in offering an opinion and then not seeing how it does.
Fantasy is such a toss up
Baseball especially – and the format that we are in, Head to Head makes it difficult as well. We set lineups each week and I had a couple of instances where I had Oswalt and Beckett not start for the week (or twice in one week) due to injuries that came about after I set the lineup.
I had Carl Crawford and Howie Kendrick too, which got frustrating.
There is a ton of luck involved.
Lastly, I partner up with someone who is a cub fan and trying to get through his brain damaged view on things is next to impossible.

Have you heard of our automaton larry? Do any of your teammates need a humor transplant/injection like our man larry?
Whoosh!
humor is fine. i just thought it would be nice if SSS could do what other sites have done and have direct access to players and management.
whatever. isn’t my site. and it isn’t my sense of humor i’m worried about.
I don't see why it is mutually exclusive to respond ridiculously to a question
and then cherry-pick out the serious answers. Have you never heard of “brainstorming”? It’s just the “brain” part is, well, like the picture of scrambled eggs in the anti-drug commercial. This is part of the creative process. Fer C.
Now, are we sure we want colin representing the site? I, for one, trust him to do a good job, as long as the interview is in the afternoon.
Whoosh!
i'm thinking more about whether the white sox would want a player to be talking to a site where comments like some of the above are posted, most especially in a thread directly related to that interview.
other teams have nixed such things. the white sox aren’t exactly the most, shall we say, progressive organization in this regard and are quite image conscious. like i said, whatever. i know what this site is like and should have expected this. i can go to other boards for interviews with white sox players. every board has their own identity.
As long as Getz and the Sox
aren’t reading the site, we are fine. collin taking a couple of questions listed here and emailing them will be fine.
If anyone in the outside world reads this / the feds read this / the Sox read this entry, well then some of us might be going away for a long time.

I thought my first question was legitimate but apparently no one else seemed to think it was interesting; but here are some lighter questions.

as far as larry's concerns about the sox management looking at this board
if they do the homework that he alledges, then they will no doubt realize the relative popularity of SSS compared to other white sox fan sites. with that in mind, they would be foolish to turn down the opportunity to get some easy PR for their lesser known players. and unless said management had not previously been exposed to the internet, they would be hard pressed to view it as self-righteously as larry does. an injection of humor is what allows sites like this to flourish and, as all but a few seem to realize, most fans are into the entertainment aspect of sports. but i guess that would be obvious if one were to look at this year’s additions to the SSS staff.
