Knackattack Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) Thank god. When do claims go through? Out of the teams on that list we have the worst record. Edited August 3, 2015 by Knackattack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a lot of sense for the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panerista Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) I'm not keeping up. Why was he DFA'd? Ah, I see. A roster spot. I'll take him. Edited August 3, 2015 by AustinIllini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Perfect platoon partner with LaRoche, although not sure if they have the roster spot for 2 DHs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo 35m35 minutes ago BOS, OAK, SEA, CLE ahead of CWS in waiver priority. Some have also speculated Oakland would be a fit for Valencia. https://twitter.com/ChrisCotillo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 He's no savior but we need to pick him up. Saladino is already wearing out. Batting ave. plummetting. Don't get me wrong, I love Saladino but he's overworked, especially in the 2 hole. We need Valencia even though he's nothing special.

Panerista Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 So basically, he might not make it to us but he won't get past us. Here's hoping. I'm done with Saladino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) I dont think he's going to make it to us. But we'll find out tomorrow. Toronto will probably want to get something out of whoever claims him too. Edited August 3, 2015 by Baron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Hahn should have traded for him Friday. Now the A's will probably get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justBLAZE Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 QUOTE (Mike F. @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 10:47 PM) Saladino has not been bad... I was gonna say, I dont get to watch too many guess but thought Saladino was great? What did I miss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Valencia has a wRc+ of 128. .360 wOBA. He has a .900 OPS vs LHP since 2013. He also sports an .OPS+ of 129. Danny Valencia would be a really nice addition. So he'll probably be an Oakland A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I'd rather just have Saladino play. We're not going anywhere and would like to see if he can play everyday or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCCWS Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 QUOTE (Mike F. @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 11:47 PM) Saladino has not been bad... But he is a placeholder. We eventually need a run producer at 3rd especailly based on 2nd and SS. Saladino and Sanchez can fight out 2nd next year in ST. They both look more like .240 ML hitters w a good to very good glove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has no one used him properly in his career? The guy is on pace to play for the entire AL. He is a placeholder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
