Beck perfect thru 3. 3 k ...Lead off single in the 4th

Beck clean first inning. One K. Blanke took Bradley deep.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 07:20 PM) Leesman showing what we thought he was. Passable low 90s fastball, decent curve, plus change, hard on lefties, control problems. Even though his best pitch is his change up I tend to think he's best suited as a reliever. He should probably get a good September audition for next year.

He's there.... https://twitter.com/AvisailGarcia34/status/...5410176/photo/1

90% boos for Arod at home.

RBI single for Hawkins. Another hit tonight gets him to .200.

Hahn on the Score now. Deadline was 12:30 today. In under the wire.

Garcia may not start tonight. Running late, I guess.

https://twitter.com/arios51/status/365941615644254208 See you and AJ in two weeks.

This game will no doubt go 15 innings. It's a doubleheader, after all.

Ahh-vee-sah-eel May I call you Avi? Garcia will wear 26. He'll have to wait for 34, unless he doesn't care.

Leury Garcia's combined numbers between AA and AAA: 147 games 624 PAs 570 ABs 86 runs 161 hits 20 2B 15 3B 6 HR 49 RBI 43 SB 11 CS 132 K 36 BB .282 AVG .329 OBP .402 SLG Not bad for a 22 year-old. A better version of Carlos Sanchez?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 02:00 PM) And we should probably hope he doesn't destroy a knee during the playoffs. I would think there are contingencies in place.

Does that mean L Garcia has to stay with the Rangers org until October?

QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 01:42 PM) This thread will get a lot more attention because of this. The Garcia era begins tonight. Hope he doesn't suck. I hope he doesn't suck either, but my expectations are low. I'm just glad he has 49 games with the Sox this year. Maybe he can hurt his old team a little too.

Hahn is scheduled to talk to Bernstein 5-5:30 on 670.

Garcia en route, and will start Game 2 tonight, according to Hahn.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 01:33 PM) I'll go on record that our new RFer (Garcia) out produces Rios next season. So, did you know something was about to happen?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 01:31 PM) I wonder if Granderson has started mapping his drive to the Cell next year If they can get him on a 2-year deal, good. I just don't want over-30 guys with 3-4 year contracts, and you hate them after the first year and you dread them being there for 2-3 years.

It may hurt the 2014 White Sox in terms of total wins, but it may help the 2015-2016-2017 White Sox win a division. It all depends on how they spend this cleared money going forward.

So, can Garcia get from Durham to the Cell by 7:10?

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 01:04 PM) If trading Rios is good, then good. But enough of mentioning "now avisail can come up" That was something that could happen whether Rios was traded or not. Jeez. Not really, but whatever. Rios is gone, and now Garcia will be up. It's moot now.

I'm glad it happened. They got something. Avisail is coming up. Money off the books. It's all good to me.
