Your dedication to the futuresox board is appreciated soxpride

Alright folks, now is the time to come up with a nickname for Rodon. We'll let JoeCoolMan think of a nickname and see if we can compete with his nickname rule number 1: names with alternating capital letters are always better

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 18, 2014 -> 01:54 PM) He also could go on a HR binge. The team moral boost caused by a HR binge is peanuts compared to the demoralizing effect an adam dunn strikeout binge has on a team. It has the ability to take a team from 1st to last.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 18, 2014 -> 01:51 PM) Baltimore will want no part of Dunn. There are intangibles involved. He should be nowhere near a playoff team. Too risky. He could get in one of those strikeout streaks and buzzkill a team's whole offense. I stand by the fact he will finish this season as a Sox. Are you trolling, or does the hate cloud your mind THAT much that you think Adam Dunn has the ability to destroy an entire team's offense? You need to use more logic and less emotion when you think.

Can the guy really be any worse than Viciedo out there? I suppose they would have tried him there by now...

This guyyyy. I'd love to see him move up to charlotte. he's proven AA to be obsolete

he should just use PEDs so he can get to 500 by next year. That way he can retire after 1 more year

Ravelo with a double. This dude is f***ing legit

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 14, 2014 -> 08:56 PM) Thompson 2-3 with 2 HRs Ravelo 1-2 with a HR Smith 2-2 Ravelo is actually 2-2 with a HR and a walk. This guy is exciting. That OBP...

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 14, 2014 -> 02:27 PM) Top 11 are protected. Doesn't matter.

ravelo at 3rd. this mean anything?

I'm tired of this bulls***. This team aint doing crap. Bring up the kids and get a good draft pick. Wilkins, Sanchez, and Semien are ready. Bring these guys up and see what we got in them. Ravelo needs to move up to AAA too. I don't care about the Paulie farewell tour. We really need to see what Wilkins can do.

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 06:45 PM) Semien is by a decent margin the best positional prospect we have, an easy argument could be made he's projects as well (or even better than) Rodon. Just because he struggled in his one month in the majors, albeit while seeing an AL-leading pitches per at bat, and has since hit line drives exactly where fielder's are standing at Charlotte changes nothing. Plenty of guys take a couple months to adjust to major league pitching, and I'm still aggravated that we upset that process because GORDON BECKHAM MUST PLAY. Please make this argument. I just don't see it at all.

QUOTE (WKamm @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 06:42 PM) I don't care how well he's hitting. I will never like Tyler Flowers. You and greg will be good friends

When does Kevan Smith get moved up? he must suck behind the plate still.

Ozzie Guillen.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 09:49 AM) I loved the Spencer Adams pick at the time and I love it still. Any chance he will get promoted to Great Falls soon? I'd like to see him in A+

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 07:02 PM) Sox trade: Beckham Cubs trade: Bag of balls Giants trade: Bag of dicks Sox get: Bag of balls Giants get: Beckham Cubs get: Bag of dicks Deal fell through because the Giants ultimately didn't feel that Beckham was worth the bag of dicks. Poor Cubs, poorer us. Bags of dicks are of high value at Wrigley Field concession stands

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 06:05 PM) You shouldn't have to resort to a convoluted three-way to give away Danks, Beckham, and/or Dunn. Yeah, you just need to find a GM who has been hitting the bottle particularly hard

Hahn must have leaked this in response to the open letter directed at him in the trade winds forums.

i hope Avi also worked on getting in shape. He is one hell of an athlete, but he seemed to have some fat on him.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 1, 2014 -> 03:40 PM) I'd rather have Kevin McCallister. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...t&p=3028586 LOL cmon steve

1b: Abreu 2b: Semien SS: Sanchez 3b: Gillaspie C: Smith CF: Eaton RF: Avi LF: Ravelo DH: Wilkins SP: Sale Quintana Beck Rodon Danish

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 09:43 PM) I truly don't think teams care about Dunn's stats and perceived value. They think about the reality of having Adam Dunn around and the idea of that does not sit well with them. If you were a contender would you want to risk Dunn going in a 1-for-30 with 20 strikeouts? A GM can't take that risk; he'd be run out of his town by irate fans. Lmao does anybody take you seriously around here? So GMs should ignore stats and make decisions based on emotion pretty much?

horrible start for Trayce, but post allstar break he is hitting .275/.366/.500 in 36 games. Striking out at a 26% clip during that span, which is a big improvement compared to how he was doing.
