Jose Abreu

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 02:08 PM) Considering the Yankees were very much in on Quintana as well, would you have accepted this return for Q? I would not have. Easy no

QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 01:54 PM) OMG just over one hour to the deadline and Hahn is going to stand pat at the deadline once again...... lol had to say it But on a serious note I wish we could find the thread from last year on this day when everyone was absolutely bashing Hahn for standing pat and only moving Duke last year.... Oh what a difference 365 a year can make. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=100262 http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=100303

Nori Aoki and Teoscar Hernandez is what TOR got. Yikes, that's pretty good

If I were a GM of a contending team that needed left handed relief help, I would seriously consider trading for Holland and converting him to a reliever. He'd basically come for free anyway

Why was Clarkin scratched yesterday?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 12:32 PM) The remaining players all have contracts and futures to fight for, outside of maybe Abreu. "maybe"

4-5 in his last game for the Sox

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2017 -> 11:08 AM) He is taking way too many strikes at this point. So far I am wondering about his pitch recognition, or if he is too hesitant to swing. Maybe he knows he has a "free-swinging, strikes out a lot" label and is just overcorrecting.

That's a great trade for Minnesota. Littell is quite good

moncada

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jul 29, 2017 -> 11:02 AM) He's looked mostly terrible, but the moments he hasn't have been transcendent. That double last night was nuked, the speed getting to third, he went Operation Meetinghouse on an Arrieta breaking ball... So hey, it could be worse. He could be hitting .100 with a 30% K-rate and not showing flashes. At least with the ability he's displaying at times you can envision a rough first 100-150 PA's or so being just the prologue in a very successful career. Still was hoping he'd come up and just destroy. I just want to enjoy a player like that. I think he looks pretty good. Can't fault him for his BABIP.

Willy Garcia probably deserves a starting spot in a rebuilding year. He has a terrific arm and he is hitting well.

Abreu

They probably don't need Melky and this is a pipe dream but getting Willie Calhoun in this organization would be incredible. Sadly, unless the Dodgers really like Yolmer/Gonzalez and more, I'm sure we can't get him

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 09:53 PM) Cordell is better than anyone Phillies got for Neshek I like that Gomez guy a lot though. I wonder if he was on the table for Swarzak.

QUOTE (Señor Ding-Dong @ Jul 26, 2017 -> 04:23 PM) While I'm sure it's had an effect on his play to some extent, I can't help but feel that's mostly an excuse to shield the former top prospect who came out of the gates strong from criticism for his horrid play. I haven't looked into it myself, but people said he was bad before his friend died. His friend died in late April/early May. There wasn't much time beforehand for him to be playing poorly. Around the time his friend died, there were people who wanted to DFA Abreu due to his performance.

Avi out of the lineup. Finger still hurting?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 07:43 PM) Cordell hasn't played in a month with a back injury. Any idea how close he is to returning?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 06:57 PM) While I thought the Sox could do better, I did mention Trayce Thompson a few days ago, and this guy seems similar, perhaps healthier, so OK. This guy looks like a much better hitter
