August 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Aug 13, 2017 -> 10:02 PM) Probably just a salary dump. If the Astros wanted him they could have just asked the Yankees politely. True but that was before he got Coop'd
August 14, 20178 yr Hes been pretty good with us since the trade. I know I saw an article about how he and Coop looked at some old videos and helped tweak his mechanics a bit to his old ways. Add him to a list of guys who probably owe Coop half their MLB salaries in their careers (starting with you Matt Thornton) when he signs his next contract.
August 14, 20178 yr If the Sox spun Tyler Clippard into an actual asset after only a few weeks then there is little doubt they can cobble a major league quality bullpen together out of thin air.
August 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2017 -> 10:04 PM) Saw an unverified rumor its Tony Kemp Edit: I was not thinking of right guy
August 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2017 -> 10:04 PM) Saw an unverified rumor its Tony Kemp Seems like thatd be a great return
August 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 14, 2017 -> 04:08 AM) Seems like thatd be a great return It would but not sure how true. He's still playing in his AAA game
August 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2017 -> 10:04 PM) Saw an unverified rumor its Tony Kemp Meh... At least Fulmer will be happy. Ex Vandy teammate.
August 14, 20178 yr Tony Kemp’s last 65 games: .353, 10 HR, 28 extra-base hits, 40 RBIs, 64 runs scored, 20 walks, 12 stolen bases.
August 14, 20178 yr Kemp is on the Astros 40 man. But I suppose with Sox having AL worst record, that could be easily solved.
August 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 13, 2017 -> 10:18 PM) Tony Kemp’s last 65 games: .353, 10 HR, 28 extra-base hits, 40 RBIs, 64 runs scored, 20 walks, 12 stolen bases. He has played 2B, LF, and CF this year. If this is who we got for Clippard that is a pretty big win. This is a guy who would come up in September and compete for a spot in 2018
August 14, 20178 yr I recall Kemp's name being thrown around as a third piece of potential trades for one of Sale / Q. For Clippard that's beast mode... if true.
August 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 13, 2017 -> 10:22 PM) He has played 2B, LF, and CF this year. 25 year old utility guy. It's meh, but for Tyler freaking Clippard, I'll take it. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 13, 2017 -> 10:19 PM) Any confirmation or just speculation? Fathom said unverified rumor. Edited August 14, 20178 yr by SoxAce

August 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Aug 13, 2017 -> 10:17 PM) Dudes hitting .327 in AAA after hitting .306 in AAA last year. PCL is a hitters paradise.
August 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2017 -> 10:29 PM) Yep it's from an Astros fan on tigerdroppings Sounds legit
