5 hours ago5 hr What the f***? Why are we trading relivers?Does Peoples have some buggaboo that his numbers don't show or something??I really haven't understood why they hadn't given him a shot in the bigs.Also know nothing about Hartl.This just seems odd.
5 hours ago5 hr Anyone who is thinking Hartl is going to take over for Romo is batshit... After looking at his stats for 15 seconds you'd notice that he's only in high A ball and throughout his career in the minors he's hit just about as well as Romo has in the show.This one still has me scratching my dome.
5 hours ago5 hr I guess the Sox decided that Peoples won't be able to be a valuable relief option due to his command issues and Texas must think it needs to try shoving in any way possible to determine if they'll be buying more or selling come the deadline.Real strange s%*#.
5 hours ago5 hr Author Clearly just bringing in one of Antonacci's buddies to aid in extension talks? 😉But more realistically, I think Pallette may have leapfrogged Peoples and they don't think they'll have 40 man room for both.
5 hours ago5 hr Guessing we will be seeing a lot of these kind of moves in the next couple months and into the offseason. The 40 man is a mess. There's no room.
5 hours ago5 hr Can't believe I'm saying this but I trust the Sox HITTING department. Also its funny that Hartl and Antonacci are buddies and former teammates. He gets HBP just as much in the minors.
4 hours ago4 hr Isn't that Catcher we got in an earlier trade, Boston I think is his name, raking in A ball? I feel like I see him all the time while watching those down on the farm home run highlights.

4 hours ago4 hr Seems like a waste of an asset, if you wanted a low minors filler C you can just pay cash. Edited 4 hours ago4 hr by mac9001
4 hours ago4 hr Speaking of moving a catcher up to take Romo's spot... Really don't know why they don't give Lee another shot. Dude has been raking.

3 hours ago3 hr I haven't really been a Peoples believer, so in principle trading him is fine by me. But I am definitely a little confused about the return. Even if you saw something in this kid you traded for, well, you probably could have had him for a small cash fee. I almost wonder if that's how the conversation between the teams started.

I keep seeing people say he’s not a prospect, but I think it’s tough judging a minor league catcher solely by their offensive numbers.

2 hours ago2 hr Don’t get more catchers, bullpen a huge need complete head scratcher. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by Soxfest
