QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:35 PM) lol, Garcia should wear 34 so that people will already own his jersey That would be pretty great.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:34 PM) I'm curious to see this 240 lbs running around like a gazelle. Plus defense? Can that be mostly from arm strength? He can kind of fake it in CF currently, but he's destined for a corner.

My fear is that Avisail Garcia is the next Dayan Viciedo with some defensive value.

I guess I can hope for Margot?

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:29 PM) Correction:Wendell Rijo is NOT in the deal GOD DAMNIT Bah.

Oooh. I really like Rijo.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:24 PM) I just want Ranuado badly Already reported that he's not in the deal.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:23 PM) I do not like Avisail Garcia. Just want to say that. He can prove me wrong, but everything about him seems like classic value driving. Never put up good numbers in the minors over an extended period of time. You and me both. Crossing my fingers the rest of the players involved are of worth.

Nick Cafardo ‏@nickcafardo 26s From what I've been able to piece together three other Red Sox minor leaguers and Iglesias are in the deal. Villareal, a Tiger RH to Boston. Expand

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:22 PM) It should set up well for tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 8s And likely more involved. RT @jonmorosi: Source confirms A Garcia to White Sox, J Iglesias to Detroit. Expand

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:13 PM) You guys should really slow your roll and wait until the deadline passes... I hope that means we fortify the farm a bit via Rios/Alexei/Insert Name Here.

Ben Badler ‏@BenBadler 32s Garcia has big raw power, more about swing plane, approach RT @Nick_900 What about his bat though? Not a lot of power for such a big frame Expand

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:12 PM) Edes is a Boston guy and closer the deal so I choose to believe him. "Lesser" prospects scares me.

Gordon Edes ‏@GordonEdes 26s No Ranaudo//RT @trevorj6: @GordonEdes does this also rule out Renaudo? Expand

Gordon Edes ‏@GordonEdes 28s Iglesias to Tigers, 2 or 3 lesser prospects to White Sox, Det OF Avisal Garcia to White Sox, pitcher from Det also coming to Boston Expand

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:07 PM) Bernie Pleskoff ‏@BerniePleskoff 52s It appears that's the entire deal: Peavy to #RedSox, Garcia to #WhiteSox and #Iglesias to #Tigers. Imagine Peavy in #RedSox rotation. Solid. Ugh. Really?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:06 PM) Rios + Cash to Pirates for top prospect. Alexei to Cards for Carlos Martinez. Let's call it a trading deadline. Yes please.

I'll be much more okay with Garcia if I don't see Miggy comps around here. He merely LOOKS like him.

Ben Badler ‏@BenBadler 12s Avisail Garcia weighs 240 pounds, but he's a 55 runner with a strong arm. Been used a lot in CF, some scouts think he's playable there. Expand

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:01 PM) Middlebrooks was NOT pulled. Phew.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:00 PM) From May: Henry (Chicago): Thanks for the chat! What's your take on Avisail Garcia? Does he have legitimate upside with the bat? Jason Parks: He does. But to be honest, I'm not really sure what he is going to be. Clearly he has offensive tools; good bat control and a quick, efficient trigger. Despite the size/strength and fluidity of the swing [itself], I'm not sure how much over-the-fence power he will develop. I've asked around about him quite a bit and opinions are very mixed on the ceiling of the bat. But he looks like Miggy!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:00 PM) Which might open up for better package from Pirates for Rios? I'd be very okay with that.

Gordon Edes ‏@GordonEdes 25s Three-way deal with White Sox, Tigers land Peavy for Boston, plus big-leaguer from Detroit. Iglesias To White Sox Expand

Blah. I really dislike Garcia.
