Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 18, 2014 -> 12:34 PM) You just have to wonder if someone would pick him up if/when he is DFA'd. There's no harm in keeping him in Charlotte if he passes through waivers. I wonder if he has the service time to reject an outright assignment? Good idea though... can't have enough bad pitching stowed away in AAA.

I know how Abreu must be feeling. My face hurts seriously all the time because it is so beautiful. There's nothing I can do about it. It hurts the more time I spend in the sun. So I try to stay indoors but its hard to do that.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ May 16, 2014 -> 11:44 AM) That would be perfect for me, I would love to get Aiken. Rodon would a solid option as well, I would rather go underslot than take Kolek. Ha. After I posted about how "I hope the Sox draft Kolek" I watched video of him. Reminds me of Jonathon Broxton. Big guy with max effort motion. I cant imagine he stays healthy / away from the bullpen.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ May 15, 2014 -> 04:16 PM) It's in June. I live off Clements ferry road in mt pleasant Ha, that's only a few miles away form me... Assuming you are in Dunes West? Clements Ferry is Wando, right?

Really hoping Kolek falls/slips to the Sox... if you can call #3 overall "slipping or falling" to the Sox.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ May 15, 2014 -> 02:44 PM) You live in charleston? I can't wait to see Rondon in June here June 19-22 Kannapolis will be here. With my luck it will be little league night and the park will be full of little kids and soccer moms (wait, thats a good thing if a high percentage are milfy, right??)

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ May 15, 2014 -> 02:44 PM) You live in charleston? I can't wait to see Rondon in June here Yes. Daniel Island. I'll have to cross check the schedules and see when/if I want to go check out the Sox guys.... I was trying to talk a braves-fan-coworker into driving to WS to see the Dildo-shaped-mascots play the Braves A+ team - no dice

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 14, 2014 -> 10:24 PM) That's a rip on Jordan Danks, not De Aza... I wasn't speaking towards a particular player... The Sox just aren't very deep in the OF, even with AAAA types. LOTS of injuries.

We need to find a place for him at a corner. Sox need a singles hitter playing a power position.

Its pouring in Charleston right now. Which, has nothing to do with the weather 400 miles away in North Carolina.

I wish the Sox could swing a deal with the Yankees to trade Chris Sale for ONE DAY ONLY so I could watch The Kondor pitch for the River Dogs here in the lovely lands of Charleston South Carolinia.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 14, 2014 -> 02:35 PM) De Aza's WAR each year here 2.6 (limited time), 2.7, 2.2. Perhaps that is an aging player, but it still is someone who was undoubtedly a contributor. I can understand Jordan Danks as purely a defensive OF, but right now we need a well-rounded guy playing everyday, and that's De Aza. If the bat does not return to form, this will be it for him..but in the context of 2014 he absolutely is getting whatever leash necessary. If Trayce T was ready, that'd be a different story...but that is a not-yet situation. Valid points all around, which is corroborated by the Sox front office having to go to the waiver wire to find a warm body to play while Eaton is on the DL.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ May 14, 2014 -> 02:41 PM) Mr. April! April showers bring May Flowers.... maybe its the California drought?

Pretty sure Keppinger has the service time to reject an outright assignment and become a free agent.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 14, 2014 -> 10:16 AM) The first and worst major acquisition of the Rick Hahn era is already in the books. Your first is ALWAYS your worst.

He shouldn't. Johnson is at least a year away from the majors. And, regardless of Semien's ceiling, Beckham is the superior baseball player "right now".

I was really wondering if they intended on making the bullpen a little more flat. I mean, some of these guys are pretty round. If being in shape is so important, I suppose round is a shape though, right?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 12, 2014 -> 08:16 PM) Ravelo could buy for like 1/2 of his roster after that game. Ravelo has already contacted Jeff Skilling to put together a futures/commodities trading organization for all the steak dinners and gatorades he has earned or will earn in the future. Some of the lessor talented players will be able to buy these gatorades and steak dinners with their projected minor league meal money at a staggering discount. Rumor is the new joint venture will be called ENROVELO.

I think we've got this all wrong... The reporter misquoted Ventura. He was actually referring to one of the players' wives as being "flat"

All Hawk's doin' is drivin' up Alexei's trade value.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 5, 2014 -> 10:10 AM) oh do tell It's pronounced "DOH-TELL"

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 5, 2014 -> 11:36 AM) Exactly, teenagers could and would go to the games. I know you can find deals for Sox games but tickets are so out of whack and parking as well, that baseball is pretty much considered a once-a-summer option for most people, like a trip to Six Flags. Baseball is just not considered an option for the normal folk (for the most part). I told u all I went to a Royals game last year and bought a burger, fries and coke for 18 bucks. Give me a break. It's insulting. I know it's like that at the movie theatre as well but it's well documented how expensive a ballgame is so people don't go. Also the product is very s***ty on the south side. The north side at least has the alleged landmark. As far as parking, the Royals fans I know all meet at a nearby shopping center and all hop in a car and drive over together to save the money. Parking costs are f***ing ridiculous but hey, they got to pay $4 million for stiffs like Keppinger and a gazillion for busts like Dunn somehow. Agreed here on seemingly all accounts. For me personally, Its not the ticket prices that are prohibiting. It is the periphery costs, such as parking, food/bev that kept me from going to games (I moved out of IL in 2011).

QUOTE (Soxfest @ May 4, 2014 -> 07:54 PM) Maybe is right! Maybe can be neither right nor wrong.

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 5, 2014 -> 09:35 AM) Go to a Bears packers game, it's even worse. It was so bad I stopped going to those and sold my tickets for them. I am not surprised by this at all. A close friend from highschool is a Packers fan and he gives me s*** every time they play, knowing I could care less about football.

Two BAD baseball teams playing against each other for the distinction of not being the worst baseball team in town. YEY!!! Can't wait!!!!!
