fathom

Semien only reaching base in 6 of his 7 ABs

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 04:40 AM) I get the high ceiling s*** and all, but sooner or later we have to go back to getting the guys that are good at baseball. Hitting .380 in AAA means he's good at baseball, in my opinion, and not just an athlete

I know it's shocking, but I won't freak out tomorrow if Rios isn't dealt. They can just keep Avisail in the minors the rest of the year and then try to trade Rios in the offseason or move Garcia to LF after the year and Viciedo to 1B.

It should be very, very interesting watching Peavy pitch in the postseason.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:33 AM) My fear is that Avisail Garcia is the next Dayan Viciedo with some defensive value. I think Garcia has a better hit tool, and Tank has more power

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 04:29 AM) Doesn't Hawk love Garcia? "Garcia has a chance to be a monster"...we'll hear that a million times

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:25 AM) All his K rates are 20-25% and all his walk rates are 3-4%. The biggest reason he's not like Hawkins is because he hasn't shown any power. I don't think Hawkins could hit .380 in the minors for a full season unless you added his average up between two years.

I'd much rather have Garcia than Olt.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 04:21 AM) I'm really excited about getting Garcia. I am interested to see what else we get. It should set up well for tomorrow.

What a bad trade by the Tigers

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:14 AM) Ben Badler ‏@BenBadler 32s Garcia has big raw power, more about swing plane, approach RT @Nick_900 What about his bat though? Not a lot of power for such a big frame Expand Last year, Garcia was hitting everything to RF. This year, he started to pull the ball more. A shorter left center and CF at the Cell should help him.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:13 AM) After hearing Owings, Davidson, Tallion, and Martinez kicked around I will murder something if it's just f***ing Garcia and nothing else notable Garcia is way better than Owings and Davidson, IMO

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:12 AM) "Lesser" prospects scares me. Agreed, especially coming from someone that knows their system so well

IF TRUE, the Sox being cheap with regards to prospects kills them here.

Wow

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 04:06 AM) No one has any clue but I'm gonna lean towards no. Would be quite the amazing trade by Boston if true.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:59 AM) With Boston being the partner, may not get much else because I am assuming they are willing to absorb all of Peavy's salary. Which might open up for better package from Pirates for Rios?

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:56 AM) Why is everybody upset over not getting JBJ? Garcia is younger...built like a Miggy clone who can run & has a CANNON in the OF. Has a .428 OBP in 168 ABs in the minors & batting .387 with a low K rate. Showed better power in the majors this year compared to last year.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:53 AM) Gordon Edes ‏@GordonEdes 25s Three-way deal with White Sox, Tigers land Peavy for Boston, plus big-leaguer from Detroit. Iglesias To White Sox Expand So now Sox are getting Iglesias?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:52 AM) Garcia does nothing for me. Better be more to this. He's the best offensive prospect by far in the system.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:52 AM) Garcia and Boston prospects would be a really, really good haul for Peavy. Garcia, Middlebrooks and another prospect would be splendid

I'm sure there will be more than just Garcia

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:49 AM) Called it! I'm going to cry if Aviail is our main get though... You have to think we'll get more

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:48 AM) Iglesias to Detroit? Iglesias, we barely knew you
