QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 05:52 PM) He has big time opposite field power right now And we all know Rios doesn't.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 05:26 PM) From what was being reported, Alexei and Rios had very little value at the deadline. Neither did anyone else , teams over valuing prospects now to offset the high salaries. Who'da thunk no one wanted PV with a decent contract for an extra year .

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 06:13 AM) Way to go Steve! This. But it hasn't got us any wins yet .

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 06:47 PM) Keep on rolling to the number 2 pick! 2 ??? 1 !!!

QUOTE (aboz56 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 08:02 PM) Relatively short thread and for good reason. Overall, his tenure in Chicago was a disappointment. Not saying he didn't compete, but never really performed up to expectations that many had when he was acquired. Jake was cool. Disappointed in his full tenure here but seemed well liked by everyone and he does love his music.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 06:34 PM) Except for the wall, pretty much what he's done all year Yep I want him in RF next year . Cf is pushing it . Need someone like Cain or guys like the Twins Hicks and the guys they gave up Gomez and Revere.

Garcia 3/4, HR, 2 singles and a walk today.

Santiago deserved a better fate but we can say that for Sale and Q too. If this team was even poor instead of very poor with the bats we'd be hovering around .500 . So with that in mind, we shore up the D and Garcia hits, add some improvement from a few guys , add some bats somewhere , throw in the even number year 2014 as a good luck charm and we're competing Edit. Forgot bullpen arms , no problem we're good to go.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 06:09 PM) Well, he is our 2nd leading home run hitter. What a boring, awful offense. We both know his job is to get on base in that situation.

Blah I hate seeing a swing on 3-1 down a run in the 9th. Probably was a ball too. Where's the take sign ?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 05:55 PM) The Tigers were somewhat desperate and probably overpaid to get a guy who can fill their shortstop hole right now, they were even willing to sacrifice offense because they could get that elsewhere in their team. I know why they wanted him . Peralta upcoming suspension and willing to plug SS with D since they have plenty of hitting. I wanted him because I wanted an elite glove who could turn out to be a better hitter than people think. I know Boston sold high but we'll see how he hits going forward. Maybe Sox don't see SS as that big of a position of need with some middle infield prospects on the farm .

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 05:45 PM) That's a dinger in the cell, fo sho Iglesias was a guy I wanted from Boston but not many others did here, but the Tigers agreed with me.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 05:44 PM) Whoever comments on this is worse than Keppinger Maybe I can represent the Sox at the draft next year then instead of Keppy.

Another "hit" that should have been caught by Alexei.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 05:28 PM) Well the Marlins are winning 5-0 against the Indians. Possibly pick up another game. Go Fish ! I'm just commenting all game thread posts now.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 05:29 PM) Holy s***. In 348 PA's, Keppinger has 9 xbh's. 9! f***ing 9. How is that even possible? So you're saying that's not a lot for batting 6th ?

Dunn season high .218 now

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 05:29 PM) He makes up for it with his patience at the plate. And his range in the field.

Alexi double Rios single 2-1. 2 out hits . Rios erased in a rundown when throw home was cut off.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 05:23 PM) “@MDGonzales: From Sox notes: Sox starters own a 2.76 ERA (14 ER/45.2 IP) over the last seven games” Probably counting todays game but still hard to figure out how to lose 7 in a row with the starters doing that well. But you throw in all the unearned runs and bad relief pitching and bad hitting and voila.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 05:21 PM) ESPN has him as the least valuable player in baseball this year judging by WAR. Yet Robin sees him as a middle of the order bat.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 04:50 PM) 0-0 through 3 . Let's see if the Sox can get a run before the 6th inning. Hector looking good . Nope

AJ solo HR .

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 02:53 PM) He worked fast and he looks like he can get some strike outs, but I don't think he will be more than a middle rotation type starter, that said I like his approach on the mound and his curve was nasty. I think he will stick in the majors and log a couple 200 inning seasons as a Gavin Floyd type. You make that sound like a bad thing. That would be great actually.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 04:56 PM) Wow what a terrible effort by Dunn That's where an earned run really isn't. Most 1st baseman playing where Dunn was field that ball.
