Hawk was talking about how important the Indians bench has been. That's something that Hahn deserves criticism for. The bench was pathetic coming into the season with Wise/Sanchez/Jimenez. Angel Sanchez should have never been in consideration for the big league club. Gillaspie was the only positive contributor off the bench this season.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 01:55 AM) And not really a good haul for Lee. I bet there's more involved

QUOTE (guapotaco @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 02:51 AM) Terrible terrible night for the sox so far, on the field and especially in the office... All I expect next is for someone to foul a pitch into peavy On the field, it's been good. Rienzo looked way better than anyone could have expected.

Lindstrom with quite the awful stretch of late. Someone please put Peavy in a bubble for the next 19 hours.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 02:45 AM) Who cares about whether Rienzo gets a win. I can't believe baseball players actually think about that stuff anymore Seriously, you think a player in his MLB debut doesn't want to pick up a win?

Poor Rienzo...but

Renaudo was pulled after going 6.2 innings.

This better set the record for quickest press release saying he's day-to-day and X-Rays were negative

Hopefully just a bruise

Oh great, Rios leaving the game with a foot injury after a foul ball.

Home run for Semien

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 01:04 AM) Hey Tim Anderson, what's cooler than being cool? ICE COLD! The hitting outside of Semien and M. Johnson from the prospects in the system is abysmal

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 01:14 AM) I don't think that's for us! Nope

Renaudo went 6 innings though.

Incredible start for Rienzo. I never would have thought he could go 7 innings vs this team and not throw 150 pitches.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 12:59 AM) The Angels top prospect currently has .587 OPS. Yep, I can't imagine them giving up much in the deal besides taking on Kennedy's contract.

Why are the Brewers in their lost season starting Lucroy at catcher in both games of a DH?

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 12:50 AM) While that might both be true, I think some here are starting to overrate both of them. I don't believe either are considered top 50 prospects. More so 50 to 100 range. Skaggs has top of the rotation potential and for whatever reason it seems AZ might consider moving him. I'd love to see him what Coop could do with him. I'd rather have Middlebrooks than Davidson

PK should retire after that one

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 01:44 AM) I know everyone is enamored with position prospects right now, but if Skaggs is on the table you take it. Yep, and the more I think about it, I can't imagine Arizona giving up both Davidson and Owings in a deal.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 12:43 AM) Jerry Crasnick ‏@jcrasnick 1m Hearing buzz about 3-way trade talks: Peavy to #dbacks, Kennedy to #angels. Not sure who #whitesox would get. TROUT! But where would he play?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:54 PM) I noticed Gillaspie was a late scratch. Blockbuster incoming. Did they say why?

Davidson and Owings in the lineup for Reno tonight

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 12:42 AM) He hides the ball well with his delivery. Curve has bite needs to throw it for a strike to keep the hitters honest. Fastball is average. Good poise so far. Is he throwing the cutter?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:40 PM) Then do it. Taillon is a top 20 prospect. I never figured Peavy to land one of those. Problem is plenty of cash might be like 20 million for those two.
