April 24, 20178 yr Owed about 3 million. Sox would have to clear a 40 man spot. I'd take him over May for sure. Martin is actually a MLB player for starters.

Martin is actually a MLB player for starters. I mean, at some point they could probably transfer Rodon to the 60-day dl which would clear a 40-man spot.
April 24, 20178 yr Can't hurt to stick him in CF and either flip him for whatever you can get at the deadline if he exceeds expectations, or just DFA him if he sucks.
April 24, 20178 yr Sure. It is very difficult for a move to not at least just be a lateral move from Jacob May so may as well plug in whomever for a little bit.
April 24, 20178 yr I'm fine either way. If they Sox bring him on board...yes...you have a professional player albeit not a great one to man CF. Maybe a change of scenery and the Cuban presence here will re-energize him. Cons: He's 29...what's the point?
April 24, 20178 yr Author It's a no brainer IMO. As Jose said, maybe he improves and you can flip him, if he sucks, just cut him.

April 24, 20178 yr Author QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 24, 2017 -> 12:10 PM) Is it even possible to suck as bad as May or Asche? Apparently Martin has had some attitude problems but no, it's not possible to suck harder so bring him in.
April 24, 20178 yr Attitude problems. God how bad must the Sox suck when guys with a .302 OPS are desired. He sucks. Even his defense has slipped. No one is going to give you anything for him. Edited April 24, 20178 yr by Dick Allen
April 24, 20178 yr I'm for it. Massive upgrade over what we're running out there right now. 2 years removed from being a PLUS PLUS CF. Nothing to lose, and its possible he turns into something useful that could be traded for more that organizational depth.

No one is going to give you anything for him. At this point, May should probably be in the minors and if you start Leury, you need someone capable of playing CF on the bench (unless you want to bank on Leury never needing to sit and having Sanchez/Saladino as an emergency guy). That's why I wouldn't mind him honestly.
April 24, 20178 yr QUOTE (mataipaepae @ Apr 24, 2017 -> 01:26 PM) Or see how Willie Garcia develops in center? What are the reports on him? Hopefully he comes back up after the 10 days pass (which I guess would be this week). Edited April 24, 20178 yr by soxfan2014

Is he too AAAA for you? Too much of a prospect? What day is it today, are you for the rebuild or do we have too many prospects

What day is it today, are you for the rebuild or do we have too many prospects Let's see, I said no to the AAAA player and yes to bringing up the 24 year old prospect. Are you still angry with me?
