soxforlife05 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Wow to get Rutherford for a rental that's not that great, closer we had no use for, and a middle reliever having a career year? Total steal. Nice work Hahn. Â Clarkin seems like a decent get too. Edited July 19, 2017 by soxforlife05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 07:36 PM) Andujar, Florial, and one of their better higher level arms, like Adams.

greg775 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 02:20 AM) Actually, no. You do not. You do not like to win games when you tank. 35th, you can't resist commenting bluntly to anybody who suggests they want to win. You are like the old me in posting. Your position on tanking is well known but you post on and on about it. Â QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 19, 2017 -> 02:23 AM) I stand firmly by the position that losing on purpose is stupid. You want to win even if you're not actively trying to put good players on your MLB roster. The losing is a byproduct of the restocking of the system. You want fans to come out and see wins and you want your players to play well in tough situations whenever they present themselves. If you want to start an "I always want to win" club, I'll join, but I don't think we'll have many members. Â BTW: I see Rutherford isn't much of a long ball guy despite being 6-foot-3. Does he project to at some point be a power guy? I see he hits doubles and must be pretty fast as he steals some bases. But he is 6-3 which would make you think he'd be a power guy. I do like the fact Rutherford and Eloy are tall. Like to see those type players rather than the grinder sized guys. I realize he's just out of high school and not trying to blast him.

We're taking him back so we have an arm and don't have to send a little cash to Yanks for D-Rob/Frazier. Same thing as if we sent cash wish them, didn't get Clippard back and Yanks dfa'd him.
