QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 10:09 AM) Encarnacion is nicknamed E-5. I want no part of him. We don't need a big bat there, we someone who can consistently put the ball in play and make all the plays on defense. Seager hasn't ever lit it up in the minor leagues, and so I think he's surprising a bit with what he is doing now. Although Seattle is a pretty data-intensive organization right now, so my guess is they have a pretty good idea just how valuable he has been, and would be hesitant to move him. That being said, he is not such a thoroughbred of a prospect that they wouldn't consider doing it if they thought they were improving their ballclub. Who is waiting to take his place. That italian kid? Or is he at another position? I thought he was supposed to be a 3b

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 12:27 AM) ****Ring, ring*** Tommy John on the phone for you Brandon Dr Andrews and Yocum are gonna be busy in the next few months. Drabek and Hutchison on the Blue Jays, Beachy for the Braves. Of course, Drabek is the only one with a known tear at the moment, but it doesnt look good for the other two.

mmk caulfield. looking forward to your next thread

beware penis blood and stuff

Seager did look like a good young player, but you have to wonder if he is someone that Seattle wants to keep as a core guy or not. Caulfield mentioned Encarnacion, that is another guy who could fit the bill, but he has had some injury issues as well as attitude issues his entire career. The problem here is KW has no leverage. The league knows that 3b is killing the Sox. They are going to use that in any negotiation.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 09:48 AM) I have an idea. How about we ask someone who DOES supposedly know something or can at least convey what they think they've heard? Then we can close this thread and move on. Or, you could try not to sound like the guy who knows everything and actually participate in the discussion instead of throwing a bunch of s*** at the wall in an attempt to show everyone what you know. But if you want to go find someone that knows, by all means. You think Miguel Cabrera is available? What does Dan McNeil think?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 09:37 AM) So then SoxTalk should be limited to 1-2 people who sometimes actually know something or hear a rumor, and the rest should just be ignored....okies. Sounds like fun. No you are right. The Sox are now limited to Youkilis, A-Rod, Beltre, and Josh Hamilton(if he is over his intestinal virus and if they can convert him to third base, despite being lefthanded) So far I havent heard any mention of Bill Mueller, Gary Gaetti, or Mike Lowell, but they are probably all in the running. But hey, we havent heard any mention of Mike Schmidt yet! QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 09:37 AM) For example, Marty34 guessed that Santos would be traded. He's also speculated that Viciedo, Alexei Ramirez, and another 5-7 players would be traded as well. Did he mention players that are coming back with certainty? Or did he mention that he preferred these players to be traded because of his own percieved value of these players?

QUOTE (Carter224 @ Jun 16, 2012 -> 09:48 PM) Oh man, so I'm pretty sure my wife's pregnant again. She hasn't had her period yet and keeps having to pee. My son will be 4 months old next Friday. Anyone else run into this situation before haha. LMAO Carl. Time to start picking up extra shifts

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 09:03 AM) Do we really have to differentiate between legitimate rumors and MLBtraderumors and Phil Rogers "theoretical good trade in his mind" rumors/columns and everything else? How many times does anyone really know ahead of time, 10-15%, at best? Someone wanted to move Soriano to 3B. Then we have Dan Johnson and Dallas McPherson. Tyler Kuhn. Edwin Encarnacion, if the Blue Jays fall out of it. Eric Chavez, if he could actually play more than 2-3 times per week. Wilson Betemit. Might as well bring Melvin Mora or Miguel Tejada out of retirement. Everyone but Ken Caminiti, Boyer and Santo have come up. Even Robin Ventura has been mentioned! Yes, we do. Because the other two options are crap and made up. And especially when you say "So far it is between Cuddyer, Youkilis and forcing Stephen Drew (if he's healthy) to play out of position." as if all three of those options are currently being explored and have been discussed. But please, name me off 3 more third baseman from the past to make a strange argument.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 08:56 AM) So far, it's between Cuddyer, Youkilis and forcing Stephen Drew (if he's healthy) to play out of position. Yes, in your mind. Because none of this save Youkilis has been rumored at all except by posters on this site

lets be honest guys. McPherson and Johnson are failed major leaguers. They are the last last last last option. Orlando Hudson has been over the mendoza line about once since he was on the Sox, and neither of those guys is coming up to replace him

LMAO that article paints Guillen in very nice light. gregbot would be very proud "love this guy! he plays dominos, he doesnt need to be a manager!"

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 16, 2012 -> 11:15 PM) 7 retired in a row by Sox pitching. Santiago, considering he has a so-so curveball and is learning his screwball/change at the big league level, hasn't been too bad since being removed from the closer's role. Hhhmm, I went to see the Sox lose 4-0 last wednesday and he gave up a 2 run bomb in the 9th.

Alexei playing well tonite, for sure.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 16, 2012 -> 10:34 PM) I could probably hit Humber right now. "Da MANager" needs to act, NOW. There was a legendary post similar to this made by Mr Gregory Pratt

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 16, 2012 -> 10:22 PM) Alexei looks to be in a bit of pain That ball was off the not so funny bone

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 16, 2012 -> 10:16 PM) Can someone wake up our manager? Wtf do you want him to do fathom? Santiago is up throwing, he has been since the third run came in. Do you want Ventura to throw things? Get tossed out?

*waiting for Hawk to explain "you win 60 lose 60 and then you have 42" for the 500th time in my life

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 16, 2012 -> 09:23 PM) A guy gets on, and immediately Humber becomes hittable. Humber should stop putting guys on so that he remains unhittable.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 16, 2012 -> 09:06 PM) When I said I wouldnt watch....I lied Pants slightly on fire

Their attendance makes the Sox look pretty normal if not strong.

Brandon Beachy removed from the game against the Orioles in the 4th inning with an apparent elbow injury. No specifics at the moment.

1 dead, 1 hurt in Toronto at a Radiohead concert when a metal scaffolding collapsed minutes before fans were going to start coming into the show.
