Timmy U Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Not a fan of Civale, however, it's him or Clevinger, so I love the trade. If Elko is not the answer, and his pedigree does make that unlikely, the Sox have a ton of options starting with moving Vargas there and playing some mix of Rojas, Sosa, Colson, Baldwin, or eventually even Antonacci or Bonemer at 3rd. First Base, not a tough position to fill. I wish Andrew the best and would not be surprised if the change of scenery plus the Miller Park effect really helps him. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 This looks like a my cat s%*# for your dog s%*# trade, but hopefully a change of scenery type deal does it. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Doesn't Civale have a pretty decent ERA since returning from injury? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolishPrince34 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Smart move! Ridiculous how none of our high draft picks ever panned out. Vaughn is done. He will be out of baseball in 2-3 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Tim Elko stinks but I would rather see him at 1B all year because they have nothing to lose by doing that. I doubt that happens though, because with Sosa coming back soon and Colson looming there isn't going to be a spot to play Elko when everything gets shuffled around. Very happy to see they finally cut bait on Vaughn and Civale offers more value to this team than Vaughn does. The more of these unathletic plodder type guys they can get rid of the better. This roster looks so much better athletically than the days of station to station statues the Sox use to throw out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 If Civale can eat some innings and be better than Chubz Wilson, it's fine. Vaughn is gone, and that's a plus. I don't see him turning it around, at least not dramatically. Elko doesn't seem to be the answer at 1B, but this move keeps him up with the club for a while at least.

Tim Elko is not going to get all year to strike out on pitches you need a golf club to hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mix and match options will always be available. Rojas along with Slater et al should be DFAd in the near future (Slater today, really).

Timmy U Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 10 minutes ago, bmags said: Yes but in the bullpen. No, they were trying to move him to the bullpen which is why he demanded a trade. I think his ERA is 3.33, but you have to factor in Milwaukee's stellar defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I just meant that if you were going to give someone an extended look right now is the time to do it. Either way, he will get squeezed out when some of these guys come back from injury or get called up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
