Real news Jon Heyman@JonHeyman 7:10 PM chisox are indeed in talks with red sox on frazier. he appears to be their top choice. not known to be done, but could happen fairly soon.

Tonight's lineups have been pulled

And Moran and Lee oppose to motion to proceed.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 03:24 PM) Why is Smith batting anyway? Narvaez is the better hitter. Narvaez should start 2/3 of the games anyway - let's see what we have in him. His OBP is good, the stats say his D is pretty good Smith is hitting .275, Omar is hitting .263 with no power. You can't really say that Omar is a better hitter. Better eye, definitely, but nothing to say he is a better hitter.

That seems like something may be happening soon....

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 03:04 PM) If you were Holland, what would be your motivation to not just retire? I know $$ means everything but he might get hurt out there. He's that bad. At the very least, become a specialist who faces one lefty when needed. Surely this post isn't offending anybody. There can't be any Holland fans on this board can there? Nice to see Avi bust out. If we lose, 0-3 since the trade; Cubs 3-0. Not that that matters, but interesting. You asked the same thing about Dunn...maybe Holland likes playing baseball? If everyone that was mediocre retired, you wouldn't have the sport.

might as well

Beeks 6 IP 5 H 1 R 1 BB 6 K

Just made a big trade with Texas

QUOTE (Quin @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 10:26 PM) Guessing time: Jalen Beeks and Trey Ball, because left hands and Heads. glad you're on the beeks train

Cubs also blew an 8-0 lead in this one.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 10:16 PM) A certain familiar outfit just blew an 8-0 lead....they could use a bullpen upgrade themselves. Really though, there's no good reason Robertson and Swarzak are on this team in a couple weeks. Probably Kahnle too. This coming from a guy that likes those two guys as well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 10:00 PM) Would be fitting with him bailing like crazy You'll feel better with Beeks in the system

Jose just missed one. Wouldn't mind seeing Avi get a hold of one.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 09:41 PM) Yeah. He's not highly touted. He was their #27 prospect in a weak system. I'd be happy though if we got him and chavis. dont disrespect my boy like that

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 09:36 PM) Never heard of him until now. Nice stats. You really think the Sox could get him for a rent a player? #23 on their prospect list on MLB Pipeline but #11 on SoxProspects. Seems like they are concerned about his viability as a starter.

I've already fallen in love with Jalen Beeks from thirty seconds of research so he better be in the deal.

Where does he fit in the rebuild? Long man out of the pen? Starter once we jettison a few guys? Is this year a mirage? He's been a pleasant surprise despite underwhelming peripherals.

I think Jason gets better when its completely his job. He was better last year than this year (he tries to get laughs too often). I like him, and I hope he settles in. I've said this before, but I think not traveling with the team hurts him. You learn more about your team on road trips.

On the other hand has raBBit ever lied to us?

I'll say Jalen Beeks, who all he does is get results http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/pro...p?P=jalen-beeks

Soxtalk exploded for me for like two hours. Guess it was just me.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jul 14, 2017 -> 07:15 PM) I had the same reaction but then it occurred to me Hansen and/or Dunning have played themselves into top 100 consideration, so it's sort of a wash. Fulmer really is a bummer right now, though. There's only room for one Bummer in this organization
