QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 03:49 PM) lol BUT WHERE WOULD HE PLAY??? Soxtalk classic I know it originated when the Sox were interested in Griffey Jr., but was it during the 2005 season?

Where would he play? Unless Sox want to have him play 2B, there's no fit here.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 01:28 PM) Floyd, Reed and Viciedo...if Dempster is really worth Delgado. Why would Greinke cost that much more than Dempster?

Wow, a nasty change-up to a righty. Love to see it.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 03:57 AM) When was the last time Addison had a 1-2-3 inning? May? Rangers game that Q started

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 03:56 AM) Reed's season ERA at USCF is over 6. That's not good. Yet so far this year, all his blown saves were on the road

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 03:55 AM) I was figuring you were thinking that too... At least the hit was on something low and not at the belt

Ugh, here we go again

A 6th DP would be very nice

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 02:36 AM) He puts too much pressure on himself, if anything. A lot of it has to do with the hype and expectation that surrounded him in his first year or two. The endless tinkering only made him develop bad habits. I wish he'd just go back to swinging freely and not thinking mechanically. For that, I blame Greg Walker. Great explanation of it

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 02:33 AM) I find it funny that people point to Beckham's mental fortitude as reasoning for his struggles. He's one of the loosest guys in the clubhouse. The reports have always been that he over-analyzes everything involving his swing, approach, results, etc. I still would be surprised if we did get rid of him this offseason.

Crain gives up the bomb. Picks up where he left off of throwing everything up in the zone.

This has been way too much fun so far tonight

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 02:18 AM) Beautiful DP. That is one thing I love about the Slayer. He is stellar defensively. Yeah, him and Alexei have been awesome defensively the last few months.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 02:15 AM) To be honest, I wonder if a change of scenery would do him good. He's made improvements from Walker, but not big enough improvements. Very heady player but mentally he is awful at the plate. I don't get it cause he made everything look so easy. Absolutely a change of scenery would do him wonders it would seem.

Trouble brewing, how about another double play?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 03:12 AM) If the Sox can make a deal with Becks, Nate Jones and whomever, I'm all for it. If I were to make a move, it would be to upgrade 2B. Not sure who is out there. Thing with Beckham is that I'd be stunned if there's not a GM out there who loved him as a prospect and think they can get the best out of him.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 03:11 AM) If Morel is 100%, I'm not opposed to seeing what Morel can do at 2B. This is obviously a ways off though, given that Morel is still down in Bristol and has a lot to show first. Morel's hitless so far, and you'd be losing a ton of range at 2nd. If the choice is Beckham or Morel at 2nd, give me Beckham.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 03:09 AM) Beckham is so bad. You have to wonder if he'll ever get the mental aspect of the game.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 03:09 AM) Beckham 3 for his last 28. YAY! Great, Thornton coming in. Three lefties coming up, of course he's coming in

3 pitches all it took! Great job by Gavin tonight of getting the big out when he needed it.

Was Konerko's single hard hit?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 01:30 AM) Dang...I didn't quite talk enough crap on Becks. It seems that he hits everything to right. Probably because his swing is too long to do anything productive down the left field lines. Never did I think I'd complain about a sox hitter who goes the other way too much. I'm the same way with Rios

Holy cow he crushed that. Liriano not fooling anyone.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 02:08 AM) Looks like the Captain is back I'll wait until he starts pulling the ball with authority.
