QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) Could see Matt Davidson thrown in, because why not? Johnson, Tatis Jr., Davidson, and Garcia for Shields, Jay, and cash!! /green

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:28 PM) I read the first 3 pages. Hardly anyone was against it because of his ability. Instead it was more about money. In fact, you even listed the rotation and said that it "looks a hell of a lot better than what we currently have" I maintain that our rotation with Shields is much better than that without him. However, it still can't be denied that he's declining and has poor peripherals even without that last start

Chuck Garfien tweeted it too

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman 40s41 seconds ago Padres, chisox have agreed on the principals of shields deal, with only details to go

Jackson's coming around as a hitter now, I don't think "replacing" him is the best idea

How's Jay's defense? I see some conflicting stats on it

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:09 PM) Which is why I said before his last start, no one would have said he's cooked. Read the first few pages of this thread, many posters were against the idea

Yeah, Eaton/Jackson/Cabrera/Garcia/Shuck/Sands/Coats/Jay... something's gotta give there and my hope is it's Sands and Garcia

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 01:55 PM) His ERA was actually 3.06 before his last start. But his FIP was drastically worse

I'm glad we're not giving up much and they're paying for some of his salary, but regardless, he's not even that good... peripherals are discouraging

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 01:50 PM) So who did the Dodgers give up to get all our players? Who cares? We got Todd Frazier and there really isn't much reasoning behind hating the move.

Oh please no...

COATS

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jun 3, 2016 -> 11:58 PM) And the consensus on the board was "4th OF" and "selling high." Oooops, hated that move all along. Yeah the move sucks. Todd Frazier has done NOTHING. At all. Trayce > Frazier!!!!!!!!!!

Eaton RF Saladino SS Frazier 3B Abreu 1B Shuck CF Lawrie 2B Rollins DH Garcia LF Avila C

My god the lineup tonight sucks.

If Sands starts in the field, we'll lose. What's funny about that sentence is that it's not even an overreaction. The Texas game is all you need to know about his defense.

So one of Sands/Garcia will be starting in the field? great.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 2, 2016 -> 05:22 PM) l the old adage is that you dont trade good pitching for hitting Although that may not be wise for teams like us or the Mets

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 08:22 PM) Nice non-slide into second. Almost overran it. I was scared he wouldn't score on the sac fly! Then I saw the throw...

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 07:29 PM) What happened Right after the strikeout and right before/right as he got pulled from the game, he started swinging his bat wildly in the dugout, hitting it against a bat rack (I think), trying to break it over his knee, etc.

Didn't even see Eaton's temper tantrum until now
