QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:21 AM) This scares me. The Sox really need to make a move now. If it got to the point where the Jays and Sox were in the Wild Card play-in game, I still like the Sox chances since Sale would be pitching. The Sox need to get a bat to counter this. Price f*cking owns the Sox and the Blue Jays have enough pop to slap a homer off Sale. As much as I believe in Chris facing the Blue Jays Price V Sale in a 1 game playoff is our worst matchup IMO

Toronto probably feeling the heat after having scouts follow us the past week lmfao

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:53 AM) This. Like I've said a trillion times, Sale is good enough to pitch to anyone. He might be more comfortable pitching to Flowers, but COULD pitch to anyone. Honestly Chris Sale could pitch to me and probably strike out 15 guys. Most of them would be standing on first after I totally whiffed on his slider though.

That would put a damper on our WC dreams...

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:49 AM) Flowers isn't going anywhere. Especially this season. Chris Sale wants him here. I'm sure Sale also wants to win, and would accept an upgrade.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:45 AM) Wouldn't LaRoche still get most of the AB's in that platoon since he's a lefty? LaRoche's OPS against righties this year is .717, that's stomachable. Soto is OPS'ing like .950 or something against lefties.

Adding AJ and platooning him with flowers and moving Soto to a DH platoon with LaRoche would be almost as good as adding a top line bat.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 08:02 PM) And Saladino does walk? In their minors careers Saladino has 257 BB in 541 games, Sanchez has 179 in 526. In 16 MLB games, Saladino has 6 walks, in 91 mlb games, Sanchez has 9.

Wheeler has a lot of potential, what's Gomez' contract like?

I feel like after Avi was raking to start the season everyone realized that all he did was swing at their first pitch strike and slap it somewhere, now they just throw him something just far enough from the zone to be s***ty and he still goes for it. I said it a few weeks ago and I'll say it again, he is a terrible version of Vlad Guerrero

Just say "no" to Avisail Garcia.

Wouldn't you try to do the Pedro ceremonies a little earlier to try to get people out to the park earlier? Sell beer & food longer.. stop f*cking with the start time Boston

Ventura just doesn't understand stats

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 12:19 PM) Davidson, Montas, Danish, and Anderson for Longoria Swap Davidson with Micah and Danish with Adams and they would listen IMO. Gotta be a system gutter for Longo.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 01:05 PM) Lol I agree I'll pass on Morse We take Morse and Puig, send LaRoche to Miami and Danks/Q to LA. Call up EJ and Micah, DH Micah and Morse takes Bonifacio's place of never playing on the bench. Edit: And then we don't have a 5th starter so I'll shut up.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 12:50 PM) Yeah...that is why I said, "waiting for a follow-up tweet that says" such. Would make for some excitement, haha. See the excitement of this time of year gears my brain to reading that as "We're waiting on the follow up tweet, Puig was seen packing it up" But yeah seems pretty interesting that a Chicago area writer would get the bead on that and then it suddenly turns into a 3 team deal.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 12:48 PM) Waiting for a follow-up tweet....Puig seen packing up his locker. Green or..?

I wonder if this guy is a Cubs fan...

Soto needs to dh against lefties and catch twice a week against eighties. Avi needs to hit 8th in soto games and 7th in laroche games

Yeah Anderson not playing is a bit offputting for me. Would like to see us acquire a bat without him... sell Avi + lower level guys to anyone who thinks he has potential

As annoying as I find Betts I hope it isn't a concussion. Seems like that just ends people's careers in this game.

This Soto character should be playing more

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 06:15 PM) Well I thought that was gone If Ortiz was still jucing--- I mean a couple years younger -- it probably would have been

QUOTE (RaySox @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 06:13 PM) Despite De Aza desperately trying to reach base against us... I don't miss him at all The jinx

QUOTE (RaySox @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 06:07 PM) Avi, hitters are supposed to swing at pitches in the zone.... or at least close to Avi is just a kid swinging a stick. The complete opposite of a professional hitter.
