QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 11:01 PM) I'd be interested to see some in depth stats that illustrate how much difference a big bat would have made in our line up in the first half and forecasted into the second. As in - how many LOB have we had per game on average. How many 2nd base or 3rd base runners stranded with 0 outs / 1 out / 2 outs... Take those stats and figure how much would change with a producer added. Maybe - just maybe - a big bat would do a lot for this team. Most likely not enough but just wondering. I'd assume just take what player you'd add (call him X). Take a stat like RISP and then factor player X in.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 10:52 PM) f*** that - if you're blowing it up.. Blow it up. Sale and Abreu goes as well. Q for sure. Anderson, Rodon, and Eaton are the new ones to build around. I think they could honestly just trade Quintana and get better. Short term (rest of the season) it'd hurt the rotation but next season would be more beneficial. That's if you could get a haul from Boston. Personally, I'd love to see the, blow it up and watch a bunch of young top prospects grow. It's fun watching Tim come up and grow and do well. Imagine if we had Moncada, Benintendi, Devers, etc. from trading those guys. I'd be excited to watch them develop and they're close enough to the bigs that it's not like your trading for a bunch of low A prospects.

Either go for it or sell. No in between nonsense.

That's very encouraging

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 08:09 PM) I'm sure they're trying. I'm not sure they have enough to outbid other teams for Bruce, CarGo, or Reddick. All of those guys would also require Eaton to move back to CF. I would target Steve Pearce and Derek Norris and get the pitching help from within with Fulmer, Burdi, and Goldberg. I know it takes two to tango so-to-speak but I just don't want them standing pat. Either "go for it" or sell. Not necessarily if Morneau sucks, you can move Melky to DH and have one of them in the outfield or vice versa

The Sox are silly for waiting 3 more weeks to make any moves for a pen arm and bat. They should get a bat during the all star break. Yes Morneau is going to be ready but that's not enough.

I don't have any hate for Robertson. Love the last two in our pen. It's nice having a legit closer.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 06:06 PM) The Sox aren't in the middle of anything. They are on the outer bounds periphery of the race for the second wild card playoff spot. 4 1/2 games behind four teams currently constructed better than the Sox, and tied with the defending World Series champions competing for that same spot. Better Hahn & Co. be thinking about converting Quintana into the likes of a Yoan Mancada or Jurickson Profar while they can. This. We surely could revamp our system and team now. I'm tired of the same half ass approach. So happy for Quintana though. He deserves it!!!

Q is going nowhere. With that said, it'd be nice if DD got desperate and overpaid the Sox to get Q. This team needs good young players. This core won't get it done and Hahn can't fill in the pieces to make them a real threat and contender.

Going back to not watching this s*** fest. Go ahead and stand pat and finish pathetically

Chance to gain some ground this weekend and they play like s***. f*** this team. Yay Morneau garbage bat to the rescue. Yay for mediocrity.

Fools gold

Pathetic effort. Fire Robin during the break

10Ks. This team is garbage.

Nap time this game sucks. Series has sucked. Very disappointed in this club

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 02:50 PM) ASB started early for a lot of Sox hitters today. This team should be ashamed of this series.

Safe. Bad play by Abreu

Shields may go 9

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 02:45 PM) That's an understatement Keppinger, LaRoche, Navarro, Avila, Duke signings suck. Those are just off the top of my head. Robertson and Melky are fine.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 02:41 PM) Yep he did a terrible job with free agent signings this offseason He's not been good with them overall.

Awful awful awful offense

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 02:35 PM) Hahn deserves so much blame for this. Came into the season with no insurance in case Avi tanked. Hahn sucks period

Just DFA Navarro

f***ing terrible by Shuck there. This team sucks

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 02:20 PM) Gameday is dead.still 2-0 guys? Yes
