QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 03:17 PM) I am honestly surprised a deal with the Yankees wasn't done in the off season. It just made sense for both teams. Yep, instead the Tigers got Shane Greene out of it

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 04:09 PM) Except I'm not so sure that Soler doesn't end up the best of all of them, except for Bryant (since he's looking like he might stick at 3B). I forgot Soler was included as one of their prospects for their rankings. And yes, both Soler and Bryant have all the makings of MVP caliber players.

I feel bad for all the NC St. fans that bought tickets for the Charlotte/Durham game today thinking Rodon would be pitching. However, I heard the stadium is full due to it being a school field trip day.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 03:59 PM) Schwarber's lighting it up again this year, right? What about CJ Edwards? McKinney? P. Johnson (P)? Schwarber's off to a slow start. Edwards has been moved to relief and has been awful. P. Johnson is hurt, while McKinney is not doing anything special. They still have some ok prospect, but Bryant and Russell were clearly the potential superstars in their system that made them ranked #1.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 04:03 PM) Except Castro's got a decent-sized contract already, so that's going to somewhat limit his return...but I'm sure there will be a decent-sized market there for him (off-the-field issues, notwithstanding), nevertheless. Castro has an incredibly team-friendly contract. 3 time all-star at age of 25 who's signed to the following: 2016 26 Chicago Cubs $7,857,143 2017 27 Chicago Cubs $9,857,143 2018 28 Chicago Cubs $10,857,143 2019 29 Chicago Cubs $11,857,14

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 06:33 AM) Rodon got called up and I saw NOTHING on MLB Network about it. Russell gets called up today, and it's the first segment I see when I flip on MLB Network and it's scrolling on the ticker as BREAKING NEWS. I always wished MLB Network would be able to stay away from the bias that ESPN is deep in to. The Cubs hype is unreal in Chicago right now. The Bryant stuff was out of control over the weekend.

Russell getting promoted....just have to hope some of these guys flop

Well, I don't know anything anymore

Hit a fly ball Melky!

Beckham is a stud

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 03:55 AM) Listening on radio....Alexei couldn't score? Out by 50 feet

How about a wild pitch??

Wow Alexei! Didn't know he could hit it that far still

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 03:50 AM) Wow, he is, I had no idea. Every time I seem to notice a Red Sox box score, he has a big game. Me too!

Nice at bat. Don't bunt

Team has no concept of the zone

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 02:35 AM) fathom is right. The Cubs are coming and they're coming soon. Russell isn't even up yet. Rumors he might be up to play 2nd as soon as this weekend. What they really need to have happen is Baez boost his stock again in AAA so they can deal him for young pitching. As for this year, they play with an amazing amount of confidence for a team that hasn't won anything before.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 03:37 AM) Maybe it's time I change my mind and start thinking this is a good idea. Get rid of Sale and the org won't be tempted to make all-in moves with an org unprepared for them. Thing is, I don think Boston would give up both Betts and Swihart for anyone.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 02:36 AM) We've had some truly pathetic ABs. This game was over before it started. Just a flat team

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 02:32 AM) The Chris Sale to Boston "rumors" will surely start again. Well if they want to give us Betts, Swihart, Devers, Rodriguez and more...then go for it

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 02:30 AM) It's a good question, would you take our last decade including '05 or the Tigers' last decade? Easily ours. Tigers fans can't pop in a 21st century AL central domination DVD

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 03:28 AM) If they under perform and are out of it by June. Well the shark will be sold. After that who knows. As he should be. Another reason it's important that Q turns his season around.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 03:25 AM) I could care less if we're popular. But we need to start winning some f***ing games. You want fans to show? Start showing a pulse and win some damn games. Also hire a f***ing legit manager. Yep, the Sox were counting on increased attendance to fund the moves they made. If the Sox suck this year and attendance drops again, then they will almost definitely be cutting payroll.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 03:17 AM) And 2 steals for him today. Up to 6 on the season now. Only had 10 all of last year. And only one error! Hopefully he starts walking once a week

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 03:16 AM) Ugly start for Montas: 5 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 6 BB, 4 SO Feels like it hasn't been a great start to the season for most of the top arms, though I haven't been looking too closely at the numbers. Something I've noticed across the minors is it seems the top pitchers had dominant first starts and subpar second starts
