QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 09:05 PM) Brad Hand, anyone in the Marlins pen who could be pitching good (idk off top of head). AJ Ramos.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 09:03 PM) Neshek isn't a closer though I know...but I'm just going off of the assumption that they need quality arms.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 09:01 PM) Not sure anyone here is saying they will/should wait til July 31. Ok, mid/late July?

Bryant having a really pedestrian year thus far.

I have an unhealthy dislike for Rizzo.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 08:45 PM) Guys who could be on the market competing with Robertson: Roberto Osuna Justin Wilson Colome (highly skeptical of the Rays as sellers tho) Britton? He hasn't been healthy but he's very good Doolittle Neshek Nicasio Jim Johnson Probably a lot I missed. Robertson is far from the Nats only option. It just happens to be a good fit. Neshek and Madson concern me the most.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 08:28 PM) I agree he should be tried there while at the same time not giving up on him as an infielder. Just makes sense to me to have positional versatility in an age when guys who can hit and play multiple positions are extremely valuable and coveted. Especially since he has the tools to play in center, which is just as much, if not a more premium defensive position than 2b. Put that speed to work!

QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 08:08 PM) Enny has been decent, but with Glover hurt, they have nothing after him. It's pretty much Albers and that's it. It's a hell-pit of sub-replacement garbage, and yet they're still like, 10 games up on the Mets. Yep. It'll be fascinating to see who ends up being correct - the do something now crowd, or the wait til the deadline crowd.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 07:22 PM) Make that 10 errors. MOVE HIM TO CENTER

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 08:03 PM) He had Ozuna down 0-2 and on the 3rd pitch threw heat right down the pipe. MLB Network (specifically Plesac ) calling it something like dead brain heavers. Just rear back and throw as hard as you can without thinking. Of course that's why you have a catcher so Weiters can share the blame. Yeah, and they also asked him to go more than one inning...I'll give this guy a break - he's been solid - but he can't pitch every inning or in every high leverage situation, as shown tonight. They need help.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 07:43 PM) Another loss on the bullpen This is so awesome

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 07:25 PM) With the glut on the upcoming FA market...? Or play Abreu/Delmonico/Hayes there? Available first basemen include Alonso, Morrison, Hosmer, the resurgent Mitch Moreland, Lucas Duda and Mark Reynolds, all of whom are OPSing at least .824 this season. Bad timing for Carlos Santana to be in the midst of the worst season of his career, with his free agency surely affected by this glut and the prospect of him signing a one-year make-good deal likelier by the week. https://sports.yahoo.com/yu-darvish-free-ag...-014441512.html 2) Brewers have seven potential outfielders, any interest? Who would they want in return from the Sox? Kahnle? Ryan Cordell (who is crushing at Triple-A Colorado Springs and adds to the plethora of Brewers outfielders – him, Brinson, Ryan Braun, Domingo Santana, Hernan Perez, Keon Broxton, Brett Phillips – that will, at some point, warrant a trade.) 3) Finally, the Rangers could be a landing spot for Frazier...they need another bat, Beltre's battled health problems and age, can also DH and play 1B along with Gallo. Profar has struggled this year. I wouldn't mind signing Santana to a 3 year deal...but otherwise, we have Abreu for 2 more years and we just drafted like 7 first basemen.

Romero appears to be the one guy they can count on.

I don't think I have ever seen anything like this.

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 09:41 AM) Brooks at 45/1 was a nice win for me. Would really love for Rickie to finally win a big one. Just can't do it on Sundays. Nice!

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 05:46 PM) It's a good thing this site has a vulgarity filter. I can't believe they let you coach kids with a mouth like this. You think you're Bobby Knight or something?

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 05:15 PM) That would send soxtalk into utter chaos. What a terrible proposal. Haha, tell him what you really think.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 04:20 PM) Love me some guac and avocado. Also the hotdog on ketchup police are the worst. It's delicious and I don't care that it's not Chicago of me or whatever. Ketchup is the most overratred condiment on earth. I suspect the ONLY thing ketchup MAY be good on is fries that are right out of the frier and salted, or perhaps on like breakfast sausage links, and even then, chili sauce is actually much better.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 03:53 PM) Sign me up. Ok, Joe...I'll bite. What are we betting again?

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 03:16 PM) Are you over or under? He's under.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 02:09 PM) Ketchup on hot dogs is good...but avocado and guac is also fantastic.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 01:05 PM) The same universe with ketchup on Hot Dogs Yes. Gross.

I vote that anyone who votes no should have to post in a separate Soxtalk forum only for weirdos who do not enjoy avocados/guacamole, much like the other universe in Fringe.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 12:43 PM) You are going to be without your top guy for somewhere around a year now, who was set to be in the Bronx at any time and probably going to be a contributor this year. Now that is gone, and getting that from other guys becomes more important. It also puts a question mark around Torres until he actually does show he is recovered and can contribute. Ahh...yeah, dunno...I mean they are so deep right now...I suspect it may just cause them to look at other players to replace Headley with. I suspect Torres will be ready to go by next season.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 12:40 PM) That probably impacts their willingness to deal other top prospects now. In what way?
