I keep seeing the names of Upton and Heyward, but Cespedes is a better option IMO. He wouldn't require losing a draft pick, and he's proven he can hit in the NL.

If the Rockies aren't getting Rodon, I see no reason for them to trade Arenado to the White Sox. There has also been absolutely no rumors they are looking to trade him, as he's going to be the face of the franchise.

Giants defense looks like a Little League team tonight

QUOTE (beautox @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 03:54 AM) Great, now lets use that and the fact that Danks and LaRoche will be gone after '16 to go hard after Heyward. Come on down RHP Robert Tyler. No more uga or nd guys!!

QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 03:08 AM) why... b/c of 1 lousy start. Because I believe there is a very slim chance he can be a starter

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 03:47 AM) Abreu a few days ago in Seattle, right? Curve

Shocked this garbage lineup couldn't score.

Avi showing why he's a gigantic bust tonight. Can't touch a fastball above the belt. When's the last time him or Abreu pulled a fastball to LF for a homer?

Flowers with a horrible effort. Team just going through the motions this series.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 03:22 AM) Serious question: If Hahn acquires Kendrys Morales instead of LaRoche would the Sox have been a contender this season? Possibly for a wild card spot

Yep, the exact location the great Tyler Flowers called for that pitch

Ha, awful pitch selection. This team is a joke

Exciting offense tonight

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 01:50 AM) #FreeTrayce2015 Ventura said before the game he likes the the LaRoche/Trayce platoon right now

QUOTE (Dunt @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 01:48 AM) Avi is so INCREDIBLY. BAD. Dude has struck out twice on belt high fastballs down the middle f***ing TWICE. You don't get to be one of the worst fWAR players in baseball by being good in any aspect.

QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 01:48 AM) Avi's AB's are comical sometimes... He takes the first pitch.. like he is being patient. Then swings at every pitch after regardless. That's our clean up hitter!!!!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 02:45 AM) there we go Avi blown away by 94mph fastball

An awful start for Montas. He needs to be trade bait this offseason.

QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 02:36 AM) I've never seen a bigger bunch of F*** ups at getting the runners in from 3rd. It's mostly on the players... but the coaching staff is also utterly failing find the motivation or pressure removing. Big time failure all around in that category. Flowers swung at that 2-0 pitch like he was down 0-2 in the count and tried fighting off the pitch.

Saladino has no chance at this level unless he shortens his swing. No clue how the minor league coaches thought his swing would work.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 02:31 AM) Lol some dreadful fundamentals by the red sox this inning. Love of God make them pay. And awful at bats by Alexei and Flowers.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 01:06 AM) He struck out Ramirez with 97 and 98s so, I dunno. Good to hear

Sale's velocity way down tonight? Seeing bunch of 90 and 91mph

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 08:32 PM) No Thompson in tonight's lineup. JFC, I don't care about the handedness of the opposing pitcher, Trayce is hitting like .530 Yep, makes no sense from a competing standpoint nor a development standpoint. Eaton and Melky look tired anyways.

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 02:59 AM) Schwarber would look good in a Sox jersey. That kid is a beast. Rodon is going to be great, so no regrets. If the Sox had taken Kolek, then we should be pissed. Who knows, Sox might have not even had Schwarber in their top 15 or so. Just an incredible scouting job by the Cubs.
