Rienzo 15. Coats You have to start asking yourself when can you remove Hawkins from #1 status. How many more months/years of futility do you need? I'm pulling for the kid as much as anyone, but to have him listed anywhere near the top of the heap sends all credibility out the window.

Even if we don't trade Crain, we can still get a draft pick for him next year.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jun 21, 2013 -> 12:17 PM) I can't stand football. I know I'm in the extreme minority but I just think it's the dumbest sport, and all they do is talk football like 9 months of the year. I can't even turn on the radio unless there's a game on. But that's better anyway, those guys are all blowhards. What, you don't get excited by delay of game penalties, or false starts, offsides, etc? You don't lke 10-12 commercials after a TD, which is followed by a kickoff out of the end zone, followed by six more commercials? The two minute warning doesn't turn your crank?

Since the Sox need catching, there is a AAA catcher available who is hitting about .330. Can't remember his name. Fegley?? I hear he is available because his current parent team won't bring him up.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 20, 2013 -> 09:49 PM) I just looked that trade up. One guy has a career OPS of .722 in the minors and the other has a 3.82 ERA. Studs? Good point. You never know with prospects. The Phillies probably knew very well what they were giving up, the Astros......we don't know how well they scouted those two players they received.

Is Oregon State's Danny Hayes likely to sign after he finishes the CWS?

Bristol now has Jake Brown at shortstop. Sent down from Kanny where he was hitting .316. Don't get it, since there are 3-4 other SS's on the Bristol roster. Of course, this clears the way for Tim Anderson to get all the PT at Kanny. And, I hope Bristol does better than last year.

Barnum is now on the active roster for Kanny, so he should be playing, since there is no other first baseman on that team. Should be interesting to see how he does.

Just a waste of ink, paper, and electricity if you can't name names, Hawk. If it keeps happening, maybe the staff is not so great. Then, on another subject, twice during this series the Twin announcers brought up the Toriiiiii Hunter/Jamie Burke collision as if this is the apex of Twinkie baseball. Still urinates me.

Nice going, Robin. Leave him in until he blows the inning and the game. Stay with your AAA pitcher with the game on the line.

I am very familiar with the Colorado Rockies' system, and I have always liked OF Charlie Blackmon. He's gotta be available.

Back to Trayce, He is having a good enough year that the Sox will have to add him the the 40 man roster in the off season, or he will get picked up by some team.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 09:34 PM) Holmberg still good. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?g...ox&sid=milb Way to go, Kenny.

One of the Talking Heads at ESPN listed a few candidates to be traded, and he had Crain at the top of the list. This was during the Sunday night game, I believe. What can we get for him?

They almost have to make room for him at W-S. Someone then has to be moved up to B-ham.

Team might be worse next year.

Can he pitch?

Angels just DFA'd him. Still probably better than what we have.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 9, 2013 -> 11:26 PM) In multiple tweets actually, I don't understand how players can think it's "Soxs". So much for their college education.

That was our Josh Fields in the Charlotte game at DH. Still hitting over .300 in AAA like he did last year.

Might be just me, but he looks like he has improved over the last 2-3 months. Cannot point to any stat to back this up.

Great report Caulfield. Thanks.

I was surprised by pick. Where did our FS experts have him rated? Just one year of big time success at an obscure Junior College, but I'm sure Sox did the homework.....

QUOTE (JPN366 @ May 31, 2013 -> 11:26 AM) Ryan Buch released, Jake Cose moves up to W-S. Ryan Buch picked up by Rockies.

Kanny waking up after slow start. A couple of new faces who joined them a week or 2 ago are hitting well. Josh Richmond and Jake Brown.
