QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 02:41 PM) That was such a brutal year with Floyd (who we were going to move) and Crain going down with injuries. Crain was dominating at that point in time. Crazy to think about and who knows whether he becomes that same pitcher with us or not. I believe Peavy was on the dl a few times as well that season. And Thornton was declining. Horrible year to sell (of course some pieces in the Peavy deal helped us land some major league players on the current roster).

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) David Kaplan told a story today on the air that the Sox were set to trade Jessie Crain to the O's for Arrieta but Crain failed his medicals. I looked and it was reported on in 2013, but I don't remember it at all. Orioles medical staff struck again.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 08:08 PM) Nothing impressive that jumps out to me. I think the Sox know Danish's future is as a reliever If that's true, I'd hope they trade him to a team as part of a package in July if needed.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 01:25 PM) With the way Latos pitched in the spring, it is worth noting. I think the point he's trying to make is that it's not going to align perfectly probably after a couple weeks.

Coming into the season, I would have been ok with a split. After winning first 2? I wanted at least one more.

Man I feel bad they have to come back to this s*** weather.

I feel like if we had the same roster we had last year, we'd leave Oakland 1-3 as opposed to potentially 3-1.

Offense!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:10 PM) The rumor was always Aaron Nola if Carlos Rodon was gone. That's who I believe they would have taken.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 10:02 AM) I'd like to see Melky get a stab at some bad pitching to get him rolling. Agree. With a righty on the mound, I expect Melky at DH with Shuck in a corner spot.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 09:54 AM) I feel good about today. Anxious to see the lineup. It really sucks that cabrera is so awful because we really need a #2 hitter that he was sposeda be. Wouldn't mind a James Loney signing for the 2-spot.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 09:56 AM) Sounds like we should see Saladino at SS. It might also be a day to give Cabrera a day off and use Sands or Shuck. Or play either instead of Avi. Heck maybe even both.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 09:43 PM) I was doing it in my head and missed Richard, Logan, and Torres. Damn. Is Ryan Sweeney out of baseball? Chris Carter in Milwaukee. I'm sure there's other random relievers out there as well. I would also count amateur international free agents (Jose Abreu obviously doesn't count).

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 06:38 AM) Rodon was horrific the first four innings. What "performance" did he give? Why is a split, on the road, with a good team, a downer? I don't know if I'd call the A's a good team. At least in my opinion anyeay. I have them pegged for 5th (Angels 4th).

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:40 PM) If you can audibly hear "You suck!", your crowd sucks. Unfortunately at the Cell, you hear plenty of audible words.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:38 PM) I hate this stadium the most with all of it noises Yep. Perfectly fine just getting it over with early.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:33 PM) Yeah you are right. He took about 4 steps after the ball was hit. He could have at least made it a bit closer by freezing on a line drive like you are taught as an 8 year old. Meh. Would have been out anyway. At second base, your secondary takes you far off. Guys getting double off at second isn't too crazy to see.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:27 PM) What the hell is Avila doing? Nothing he could do on that one.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) Sox getting all the love on a great ESPN2 broadcast. Glad I switched over. They showed Rollins flat footed on that missed dive and had a great shot earlier of Jose and Q mucking it up hard in the dugout. Jose was doing some sort of play acting and was pretty into it. Agreed. It hasn't been a bad broadcast.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:17 PM) How do you think the Sox got Montas and Wendelken? For some reason I thought he was saying something like "the guys we gave up in the original Peavy deal could have gotten us someone better." Didn't feel like looking back and seeing if it came up in convo . Long day and I need sleep I guess haha my bad.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:12 PM) Well Montas and Wendelken were critical pieces of trade packages that got two players who will probably start 160+ games for the Sox this year (barring injury). Was responding to a post about the Peavy deal. Edit: wow I read his post wrong for some reason haha long day. I need to get some sleep.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:09 PM) I liked the Peavy deal at the time but I thought that the Sox could've gotten a better player in return. And looking back at it, the guys we gave up made very minimal impact in the majors.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 08:39 PM) Tyler Kolek had TJ surgery today. Sox really dodged a bullet there. I don't think they would have taken him if he was available to be honest.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:05 PM) That Disney money Haha whatever it is, it has me watching.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 10:01 PM) He's getting into a rhythm. Who's watching ESPN? I am. Watching games on ESPN, the picture always looks more sharper/crisper than the local channels for some reason.
