That little segment on MLB Network on Abreu was nice. He somewhat sykped with his family and how family means so much to him. It was great to see.

Figgins at 2B and Van Slyke in CF tonight for the Dodgers

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 02:40 PM) You can't be serious. His value to another org is very low, while the potential value to the Sox could still be quite high. His K% is at 27% right now. Not that at all bad, and definitely better than last year.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 02:31 PM) And trade Hawkins soon please while he still has some value. No. He's only 20.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 02:14 PM) Here's the latest mock from MLB fwiw. 1- Aiken 2- Rondon 3- Kolek http://m.mlb.com/news/2014/06/02/77857076/...oice-for-astros As expected

Every single one of them after number 1 just lost credibility

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 01:26 PM) They'll demote Johnson, not cut him. And then when someone is traded/promoted to Chicago, Saladino can go back to being an infielder and get full time play. Until then they are just trying to find him playing time. That sucks for him, but he's behind Davidson, Sanchez, Micah Johnson (when back) and Marcus Semien for 3 skill IF positions. Has there been any notes on how Saladino has been in the OF so far or too small of a sample size?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 01:24 PM) You should also see Walker's Twitter timeline. Dude wears his heart on his sleeve, and he was saying he feels like no one has his back. That won't go over well with the Sox if they see that. Yeah that's kind of scary. To be fair, he hasn't exactly done anything since he has gotten to pro ball.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 01:13 PM) Keenyn Walker demoted to Winston-Salem. His line at Birmingham between 2013 and 2014 is .192/.303/.269. Ouch. He is so bad. Heisler to the DL for the Dash. Richmond activated from the DL for the Barons.

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 01:12 PM) I didn't realize Montas was such a thick dude, definitely looks the part of a workhorse. I noticed that too. I like what I see from him. Love his frame.

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 01:08 PM) Has there been discussion to cut Saladino? I thought they've been moving him around to develop him as a utility player. No way they cut Saladino. He is probably going to be that super utility player. They'll cut Michael Johnson.

4.5 gb from Tigers again.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 11:02 AM) Presuming Aiken and Rodon are off the board, who would people prefer: Kolek at slot, Nola a bit under slot, or someone else? I'd be leaning towards Nola. Kolek at slot. Then college pitcher with 2nd round pick.

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 10:52 AM) Is Liddi on the roster still or did they release him? They released him.

I'm predicting Abreu will take Kershaw yard at some point in the game.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 2, 2014 -> 08:38 AM) I can't get my head around what is going on with Johnson. I'd like to see some video, see if anything has changed mechanically. The loss of velocity may or may not be injury-related. Extremely baffling. He has lost 3-5 mph

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 03:38 PM) Isn't Micah still on the DL? And Saladino's played a bit of OF recently. Yes, but thats my point. When Micah comes back what do you do. Saladino will definitely be the super UTIL player and now play LF. Maybe move Micah to CF?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 03:35 PM) Hope Montas is part the future. That trade can turn out great for the Sox. Rondon is hitting 245 so thats eh but Wendelken is pitching real well lately too.

Hopefully a trade is looming but this needed to be done. He needs consistent at bats. Infield at Charlotte is Davidson, M. Johnson, Saladino, Sanchez, Semien.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 03:31 PM) 2 legitimate league-wide superstars in Sale and Abreu, first time since....? Jose Quintana, what a stud, great Robin to your Batman Viciedo maybe as the DH? Connor? Flowers looks like he'll be at least solid. What about Avisail when he comes back, what a player he could be. And then we might be adding someone else in a few days here in the draft. Sleepers in the minors are Beck, Danish, and Montas who could be part of this a couple years from now. I think we have an excellent core. Add a couple more pieces and let's tear this s*** up. This is my core: Rotation: Sale Quintana Johnson (if he figures it out) Bullpen: Webb Petricka Putnam Belisario (8th inning role) Position Players: Abreu Eaton Avisail Garcia Viciedo Gillaspie (fringe) Alexei

Beck's day is done at 6IP 5H 2ER 3BB 4K. ERA at 3.72 Thompson 1-2 with a HR and K Montas 7IP 5H 1ER 0BB 6K. ERA at 1.46 Barnum 1-2 with 2B, BB and RBI Anderson 0-4 K Hawkins 0-3 K Voight 2-3 with HR and 2 RBIs Is May hurt? He hasn't played in a while.

I love Chris Sale. He is the best pitcher in the AL.

Beck struck out Bryant lol. 5 IP 2 ER 4 Ks Montas 6 IP 1 ER 0 BB 5 Ks Anderson 0-3 Michalczewski continues to impress. 1-1 with 2B and 2 RBIs

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 02:14 PM) Haven't seen all of their big prospects but have seen several of them on their way up. He's the first where I was legitimately impressed. Yeah, I think he'll be the best of the "big four". Almora is still young, but I expect him and Soler will be gone via trade for some pitching I'm sure. QUOTE (Dunt @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 02:14 PM) How soon does he go to Birmingham? Maybe by July? No way they continue Blough starting.
