Damn I thought that was gone

Gordon really needs a fresh start somewhere. That pitch he hit foul should have been a home run.

Gordon's swing is so off

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 06:13 PM) Most likely nothing dramatic, but a bounce back to me is probable, and what is the rush to call up Semien when his results are a mixed bag. IMO, there really is no reason to call up Semien unless he is on a roll or rosters expand. So there's no reason to keep him at all

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 05:53 PM) If Semien were tearing up AAA, I would agree even though I am a Beckham fan. He's not, and he showed earlier despite some huge hits, he needed more seasoning. If something comes along in the next month where you can get something for Beckham, fine. If not, wait until rosters expand and get him some time. Things change in 30 days sometimes. Do you think something is going to dramatically change with Gordon in a month?

I dont blame Hahn for any of this since it takes another team to take players. To no surprise teams didnt feel like giving up anything for the players we had available. There really isnt a reason to keep Gordon though. Just release him and let him find a new home.

Well Lester was traded to someone

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 08:31 AM) Not entirely true. Teams like SF have an interest in Beckham. So what's the story with things today Rock? What going on with Danks because it seems to be mixed signals right now.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 08:22 AM) I'd much, much rather have Maurer from Seattle than any of the Yanks catchers. JMO but if Coop could fix 'em? Yeesh, we'd get a nice piece for sure. Can you imagine Dayan at Safeco? Yeah that's not happening

New York Post just posted an article about the Yankees-White Sox discussing Danks and Dayan.

I think people need to start understand this. Nobody is going to give you good prospects and take on a huge salary for a decent pitcher at best. Nobody wants a terrible defensive OF player with a streaky offense. Nobody wants a mentally weak 2nd baseman who has been hitting terrible since the trade rumors have come out. Ofcourse as I say this one might get traded but still...The White Sox dont exactly have the best parts to sell off this trade deadline.

Welp take Danks off the list

I'll stick to what I've said for the past few weeks. No I dont think they will.

In other news as I posted in the Gordon thread the Giants are still looking at him according to Morosi

The fact that Noesi is still in the rotation is a miracle

Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 2m #SFGiants still looking at 2B options, including Gordon Beckham, Emilio Bonifacio, Asdrubal Cabrera. Expand https://twitter.com/jonmorosi

I just love all the comments on MLB's facebook page when they post a video of Abreu. Half of them atleast are comments on how he needs to be tested for PEDs and the other half are just condemning with no evidence.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 08:55 PM) I was just thinking about the guy over at Minor League Ball who decided he was bad based on watching him for 15 minutes in the batting cages People just over analyze and try to be the person that says " see I told you he was going to be bad"

Jose Abreu is just incredible. But his bat speed is too slow

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 06:43 PM) Big article making waves: http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/trader-...s-wonder-072814 Interesting...I unfortunately know some car dealers who negotiate the same way

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 06:41 PM) You read the thing Jack Z today? They are a bunch of rascals and nobody wants to trade with them. Huh?

This is why the Mariners wont be trading for Viciedo anytime soon

Talked to Dan Hayes on Twitter. He said he hears that some of the Danks talk is manufactured.
