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?

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.

OH YEAH!!!!!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 12:21 PM) The Sox arent going to get much for Rios, just my opinion. So you're saying they will get something...hmmmmm.

Scot Gregor is saying the deadline is around noon on Saturday.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 10:54 AM) JIM BOWDEN ‏@JimBowdenESPNxm 7m Chance that the #White Sox trade Alex Rios to the #Rangers today "smaller than a bread basket" according to a source involved in trade talks FWIW. Bowden is a clown though. So you're tellin' me there's a chance... One hour...nothing will happen and Rios will start the first game.

Look at the 2012 Reds and Giants for rotations that didn't need much help.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 10:06 AM) So you guys think Rios is gone today or still be with the Sox or the rest of the season? I'm just assuming he stays. I understand why they don't just want to give him away, but if they did just shed the payroll, it wouldn't bother me. I know that's not the popular opinion, or necessarily the right thing, but I wouldn't care if they just let him go to get the money off the books and get Garcia in the lineup.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 09:19 AM) I just noticed on the Sox website that Garcia is not listed on the 40 man roster. He has to be there, right? He had to be on the Tigers 40 man roster since he was in the majors this season, and you can't lose your roster spot without clearing waviers, even if you're traded. Is this just an oversight on the website? I noticed that the other day too. He has to be on the 40-man. That's just a mistake.
