What does Chris Getz say about the White Sox landing the No. 1 overall pick?
There are only two teams left. And I know, Brett, we might be seeing some theatrics right now. It's the Rays and the White Sox. The White Sox or the Rays. Which one will be the number one overall pick? It's time to start at number two. The team with the second overall pick in the upcoming MLB draft. The Tampa Bay Rays. Which means... The number one pick in the upcoming MLB draft goes to the Chicago White Sox. The White Sox will land the top pick. Mullion Hall, Chicago Sports Radio 670, the man. Well, the way you get the number one pick is when Chris Goetz does the math, as we learned shortly thereafter, and sends Harold Baines as a representative, and the White Sox wind up with... with the big victory in the draft lottery.
And we are delighted to welcome in the White Sox general manager. It is Chris Goetz, who now joins us on the Atturo Tire Hotline. Atturo, your hometown tire, atturo.com. Chris, congratulations. Great victory. Great use of math. Outstanding. Loved it.
Yeah, no, I appreciate it. I think it's just a great use of Harold Day. And then the best part of that whole moment, well, I walk out to the stage to Harold where we've all been around Harold. We've listened to Harold. And it's like, all right, Harold, we did it. And I'm like, we can smile. We can hug this out. In which he finally stood up and we did it. But thanks to him, he brought it home.
Still kind of waiting for that reaction, though. We haven't seen him kind of, typical Harold Baines fashion, understated. But you can't overstate how important this could be to your organization. How did you and how will you put this in perspective moving forward, Chris?
Yeah, no, I mean, you know, we feel really good about where we're headed outside of gaining the number one pick. I mean, there's... You know, tangible evidence, the way we played in the second half, these young players that, you know, got acclimated to the major league level quickly. We know we've got added talent in the farm system that's coming. And then to get this, it's that extra boost. And, you know, it's obviously a signal of, OK, number one pick, but it's a big deal for an organization and a fan base. But the great thing is this looks like a draft that you really want the number one pick. And, you know, obviously, Raskolowski gets a lot of attention, but there are some other players as well.
You know, it's just not always the case going into a draft. I mean, there's been plenty of drafts for the years where, OK, we're going to go this pathway. All right. You know, you focus on perhaps more of the spending throughout the draft and just because you feel like the talent isn't so extreme at the top. But in this case, it looks like we got a chance to get a player that is big-time impactful. So super excited.
How does Chris Getz plan to utilize the No. 1 pick for the White Sox?
Yeah, and we all know the name that people talk about, as you just mentioned. We all know that there's a process involved, and it's a long way off. You've got to get to the summer and got to get to July, and yet it just feels like... It just feels like, finally, there is a payoff for the difficulty that you guys have been through. They changed the rules, and you weren't... Listen, you have had good drafts and good picks, and I think everyone's excited, but this is a feeling of... All that you've been through, all that you're going through is finally going to pay off a little bit here. And there is an excitement. Just the idea of a number one pick. We talked about Caleb Williams and Conor Bedard. And we've seen guys like that in town and what it means to an organization.
So I think it's just a real positive. And there's a great vibe now on top of everything else that's been going on.
Yeah, I think it's a big win. I mean, I think that's the simplest way to describe it. It's a big win for us. You know, we've been staying the course, trying to make sound decisions, you know, not getting short-sighted and really trying to build this thing properly because it's not easy because we're all competitors. And, you know, when you go through those grueling times, you know, you start trying to take an easy out, you know, just to do.
