Don't know anything about his framing stats but he looked decent at it against the Sox .

Knew Drury would be moved somewhere. Yanks really had no space for him on the roster. So the Yankees did well here Drury still has some upside though no idea if his glove plays at 3rd base . Probably not .

I was just about to ask if anyone thought this trade will end up with some minor league promotions with the guys you mentioned eventually coming up to the Sox.

For sure it makes a lot of difference if the high k rate is based on him over using the slider . That will take its toll on the arm.

Guess we will have a wide range of reports coming in . If thats the case my bad for trusting Longenhager.

Maybe thats when he was drafted ? Its lower now according to Longenhagen (88-92)

Well he doesn't throw very hard and has the control issues so I'd say his ceiling and floor are both lower than some have said.

I attempted to look up Wilber Perez from Brewers DSL scores and a link lead me to BF page of a 5'9" 41 yr old Cuban pitcher

I was thinking Rodon

That seems like a good return if its just a one for one trade.

Does this get moved to the main pale hose section now ?

Not too shabby for the worst starters in baseball.

Guess I was right on all counts from the other Soria thread.

I was at the game with my daughter trying to get as much time with her before she moves to Petaluma and told her I felt Moncada would hit a HR today, My first thought was Scioscia should've opened the inning with a lefty. He didn't and Moncada made them pay. Also wondered why Rodon was replaced by Minaya . Thought the Sox might've made a trade. Really good game to attend.

Think the Yankees may part with Brandon Drury ? Would we even want him ? How good is his D at 3rd ? He had some decent years in AZ. and for a youngish guy who already had 2 good years in the NL it must suck being buried in the Yankee system. Yanks are looking for some controllable relief arms.

This is it. Giolito solid start. Abreu just needed a near 90 degree night in Anaheim to start hitting. 2 stolen bases and 2 balks lead to 4 bases advanced by the Sox. Lot of arms used by the Sox in relief but all got the job done. I'll be at the game Tuesday .

Jay Howell was caught ejected and suspended for using pine tar in the 1988 Dodgers/Met's NLCS. Some stories and video link below. https://www.truebluela.com/2013/2/1/3931602/jay-howell-1988-dodgers https://www.nytimes.com/1988/10/10/sports/dodgers-pitcher-suspended-for-3-days.htm

Avi don't need no stinking rehab assignment !

You brought up the difference in the OPS in your first post then proceeded to say you don't disagree with the sample size being too small. So why bring up the difference in the OPS in the first place ? Would just be easier to say you jumped the gun and maybe didn't check how small a sample his road games were but you continued to try to dance your away around it by using Moncada as an example because, yea, gotta keep your eyes on the splits. Next time just bring ups the splits when they are actually relevant.

Mad Regal?

Who else would you target from the Mariners ?

Keep your eyes on the Mariners/Sox series. Mariners could use him if they don't aim a little higher like for Britton or Familia. But that's the case with most teams. Soria may not get moved until we see where some other guys go.

0.83 ERA in 22 appearances since May 21 for Soria. Add that to the other good things with the high K rate and high swing and miss rate he may actually be a good 8th inning gamble for some teams .

Yea gotta be Baltaesque here and keep repeating that there's no chance Abreu goes to the Yankees.Bird just had an outstanding week and they will wait to close to the deadline to see if he's found his stroke after being injured much of the season. With Moustaskas on the block also the Yanks would probably rather have him play 1st base than Abreu because he's also left handed and most likely much better defensively than Abreu. Without his hit tool ABreu is pretty worthless as a trade chip. I hope he breaks out of the slump in a big way not just to be a more valuable trade chip but because Abreu is a class human being and the face of the White Sox .
