2-0 and Eaton slaps it at 3rd...needs to have a better approach than that

Holy smokes

Kiley McDaniel mentioned on twitter that he's hearing Rodon or Jackson for Marlins

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 03:12 AM) So a 23 year old with 76 MLB at bats is a complete bust? I have no clue if Davidson will amount to anything, but come on now. As of now, something seems wrong with his hitting. I mentioned in another thread that so far, he's been a bust. Doesn't mean for a second I'm ready to give up on him. I think we can all agree we just don't want another situation where the closer is traded for someone that just falls apart relatively quickly in the minors.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 03:36 AM) Does that indicate that the Sox are taking Nola or is Hawk out of the loop nowadays? I think Hawk just hates high draft picks and thinks guys picked from round 10-15 are the ones to get excited about.

This is a pretty crappy lineup tonight for the Sox. If they wanted Gillaspie to have a game off, why not the Kershaw game?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 03:31 AM) He's already been negative about Rodon (Boras) and Kolek (past draft failures) so far And was negative about Aiken's curve last night.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 02:28 AM) Dan Hayes didn't mention Nola as a possibility. But of course, Hawk started complaining about Boras being Rodon's agent. He eventually mentioned Nola after talking about the big 3 guys. Hawk seems down on everyone they might take due to one reason or another.

Good thing Hawk isn't drafting for the Sox, as he would probably just want to draft 10-15 round projected guys cause they have heart.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 03:23 AM) A beautiful deep fly ball to LCF over the CF head. How far from the fence?

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 03:18 AM) Dunn has been pretty awful the past couple weeks.. Is average is creeping closer to .200 Need to get him, Eaton and Viciedo contributing again

Someone said it best the other day. The idea of trading Reed for a near-ready offensive player was great. However, the scouting of that player might be where the trouble lies. KW and Hahn have traded a lot of big league talent over the last 5 years with very little to how for it. It's hard to imagine getting less production that what they have received from trading Quentin, Swisher, Santos, Rios, Vazquez and Reed.

Ugly day for the system, as the hitting was brutal. Hawkins average continues to plummet. It's also amazing just how awful Davidson has been. Might they send him down to AA if he gets into the .150 range? What a flop so far.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 09:40 PM) So I'm kinda bored of talking about about the first round as nauseam, who is everybody's top 3 in the second round? I would love to see: 1.) AJ Reed 2.) Luke Weaver 3.) Michael Cederoth Braxton Davidson would be a great 2nd pick

Rodon is my guess Aiken-Jackson-Rodon-Nola-Gordon-Kolek top 6 picks

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 04:52 AM) No but it is for putting him in there when there's better options Petricka has earned that opportunity, as he's done nothing to make Robin not trust him.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 05:43 AM) Sarcasm?? No, he didn't leave Petricka out there too long.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 05:41 AM) Putnam saves your ass Robin. What he do wrong there?

Whew, nice job by Ventura there

Too early to bring in Sale to face the lefty?

If the Sox end up taking Kolek over Nola, it might be the most un-Sox like move in a very long time.

Stone thinks Aiken will go #1 to Astros. Hawk with big time praise for a high school pitcher, which is shocking. Cooper likes Aiken's motion.

QUOTE (iguchi=dank @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 04:29 AM) Noesi is garbage but he ain't s***ting the bed too badly. Still think him and nieto are gonna be found out soon He's getting enough misses on his change-up though to stay in the rotation.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 11:23 PM) Eaton and Davidson's struggles are concerning. You could make a case that Hahn didn't get enough in return for the trade chips he had. Like it or not though, this is the core and if it isn't Sale goes on the market. It will be interesting to see in two years who's better, Eaton or Micah Johnson.
