No Tucker in the CC Hooks' lineup tonight

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 12:26 PM) No idea, but I generally give people with a decent sized following some validity. Jose Abreu (our poster here) seems to think so

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 12:01 PM) Jesus Avi... Looks like he's totally reset things up there. His last PA last night he smoked one too.

I'm a little bit comforted by Avi coming out of the break. Maybe he was just a bit mentally worn down.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 11:28 AM) Ugh he looks incredible so far Probably a bit relieved.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 11:32 AM) I hope Hahn plays hardball here. Hold out for something decent with all these remaining players. If that means waiting until after the deadline for a waiver deal, so be it. The contenders should be more desperate to get these reinforcements for the playoff push than the Sox should be to unload them. Depends on the meaning of "fringe." If that means no one in their top 20, heck, I wouldn't move him on July 16th.

Nightengale saying only "fringe" prospects coming back in potential Frazier deal, and that we'd eat cash too.

Q looking very sharp. Wilson Contreras really heating up for the Cubs.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 11:10 AM) Jerry Crasnick @jcrasnick 3m There's lots of Todd Frazier to #redsox buzz, but they're still monitoring other 3B options. Search is still "wide open,'' says a source. Does this mean Rafael Devers?

I wonder if there is anything to the Robertson piece or if that was Nightengale just speculating entirely.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 10:35 AM) I feel like Boston should have gotten Frazier like a month ago. Ahh, well at least there are two weeks left.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 10:27 AM) I can't believe they waited for the deadline for this. ?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 10:17 AM) Nats still don't have a true closer, but can't see them adding another big name I actually think the opposite. If I just managed to get those two guys for that, I'd be on the phone with Hahn right now getting Robertson for one of my 3-5 prospects.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 10:12 AM) I feel like Oakland set the bar really low... kind of a light return right) Yeah, I have no idea why you do that on July 16.

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 10:01 AM) Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal now Prospects headed to #Athletics from #Nationals are LH Jesus Lazardo and 3B Sheldon Neuse. Those two plus Treinen for Doolittle, Madson. Well, I will say Rizzo did much better than I thought he would. Props to him for not giving in.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 09:32 AM) Highly doubtful that 8 at bats are going to make a huge difference. Too small of a sample size... he could go 2 for 2 in his next at bats and be hitting .300 over that period now. I think you are right, but it wouldn't have hurt had he knocked in a few of those runs either.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 09:23 AM) Looks like 3-5 is the likely range with small odds of moving up to 2 or out of the top 5. That's fine IMO. Number one would be great but the Sox still have too much talent to lose 100+ it seems. Give it a few weeks

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 08:18 AM) Well I hope someone interesting comes back. Spent way too much time checking my phone. No s***.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 06:27 AM) Lin and Marrero both couldn't hit in the minors (both have a career minor league OPS below .700) so I doubt Lin's production continues. Holt is also likely a utility player at best. And as I mentioned earlier, even if they want to give Devers a shot, I'd still rather have Frazier at 1B over Moreland. There was also the thing about DD liking to "top off" a team. I agree with that philosophy and I think even with Devers, Frazier is still a worthwhile addition to them, particularly if you are looking at someone outside your top 10.

Nationals fans on twitter were saying "Don't you realize those were triple A guys?" Umm, yeah, you are still f***ed.

QUOTE (ecupittfan @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 07:41 PM) Nats pen tonight so far 7 runs in 1 inning so far. Were up 10-0 and now 10-7 with no outs in the 9th. Holy f***

Alvarez too? A's?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 06:46 PM) Even Benetti just dropped an Earl Warren reference on that subject.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2017 -> 06:44 PM) Devers 4-4 2b and HR in AAA debut Dude is a machine. I think they are just so afraid because of what happened with Moncada.
