Well I hope Abreu gets a good pitch to hit in the 9th.

There's Daniel Webb!

Damn. I still can't be mad at Eaton there. He's fun to watch and is an XBH machine.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 08:36 PM) No telling how good this team could be with some decent arms in the pen. The Jones, Lindstrom injuries really hurt them. I still think Jones would've been great as our closer.

That was April - May like defense from De Aza there. On the bright side, Abreu is probably going to get one more shot to extend his streak.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 08:24 PM) Belisario looking like he did in the last Carroll/Pino match-up In before Feeky telling JoshPR about his unlucky FIP.

And that walk probably ends Abreu's hit streak.

I f***ing love Adam Eaton. Hahn's best trade to date.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 07:40 PM) In 2 of Abreu's 3 Ab's he's taken 1st pitch fastballs right there. I'm sure even José was shocked. He's getting better at reading what a pitcher is gonna do with him. I dont think he was expecting them to go after him.

A damn shame Nieto can't see time in the minors. I honestly think he could be on the cusp at AAA at this point (as well as our best catching prospect).

After starting off 0-2, Avisail has had 3 consecutive hits stemming from yesterday. Edit: now another hit. He is 2-3 so far.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 06:31 PM) Gutsy to throw him a 3-2 breaking ball there. Good choice by the Twins. Honestly I am shocked they were aggressive and pitched to him with first base open. I was going to say Gardy has lost his marbles haha.

That ends Abreu's consecutive reached base streak.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 12:17 PM) With 6 scoreless innings tonight, Carroll could have an ERA under 4. Well that's not happening.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 10:13 AM) Hahn was on 670 this morning and said that it was for a long targeted player. He also said that it "could" be revisited in the offseason. I'm going with Yasmani Grandal. He was in the lineup and warming up and then was scratched for no reason. Sox have been interested in the past. I think this might be why.. well.. In his own words.

Martinez is an interesting prospect to keep an eye on. I know Jeff (Ozzie Ball) mentioned him in another thread as well. Plus fastball, good curve.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 10:30 AM) Loney is a great Defensive 1B. I brought up Nick Johnson and somebody else brought up Casey Kotchman. That was me as his floor. Obviously, we're not hoping for that. :-)

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 10:12 PM) Jorge Soler having a monster year. If he stays healthy, he might end up being a top 20 prospect. He's the only other prospect who I'd kill to have in our farm not named Kris Bryant in the Cubs system. I'm very high on that kid. Outstanding potential.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 11:23 PM) Jake Peter is 5-6 tonight.... Meanwhile Chevy Clarke with a game he wishes he can forget.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 09:42 AM) I let the dog lick them clean. This.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 10:44 AM) I am nothing Just to one up Sonix.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 10:05 AM) Passan said that's it, straight up. Wow.. if true, that's a hell of a deal for the Twins. Theo and Jed could of gave them their D prospects and that would've been a better deal for the A's.

Hell of a start to the deadline so far.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 09:50 AM) It may be nothing to do with Danks, but some promotions have happened in the minors. Bucciferro to Birmingham Snodgress to Charlotte Repost that on the FutureSox board flavum. Good stuff man.
