August 3Aug 3 2 minutes ago, Jake said:Sox must have seen Adams as someone who was going to get dropped in the impending 40-man crunch. But of course then he replaces him with a player on the 40-man.Not good enough for the rotation and stuff wasn't going to play up in the pen compared to H.Smith and McDougal.
August 3Aug 3 I don’t get this at all. Do you even tender Doyle a contract next year? They must have something in mind.
August 3Aug 3 We traded Hill for scraps to then turn around and give up a legit pitching prospect for this guy? What in the f*** are we doing? How does this make us better short term or long term?
August 3Aug 3 Man, that is a lot to give for a back up outfielder who will be hard to keep on the roster. They have to be moving Grichuk, Hays, and/or Pereira somewhere in addition. Otherwise, you just traded assets to DFA useful players.

August 3Aug 3 I guess another possibility is that Braden's foot issue is a little more serious than expected.

August 3Aug 3 Someone must see a fix with Doyle.There's no other logic to it at all...except for defensive replacement/PR/change of scenery.Urquidy might be getting taken more seriously...?
August 3Aug 3 My bigger concern is that in Castillo and Doyle, I’m not sure those moves make the 26 team better.

I think he's going on the roster.
August 3Aug 3 The brain trust really must believe he can return to his gold glove and potential 30/30 power and speed combo.Not a move I expected whatsoever.5 hours left and a lot more is going to go down for our Sox.
August 3Aug 3 Org rankings aren’t the most accurate valuation, but Adam’s is their 8th ranked prospect, and Vielma has been one of their more impressive DSL guys at only 16.Awful value to get someone who benefited from the Coors effect two years ago but otherwise can’t hit or stay healthy.

August 3Aug 3 Doyle = Adam Engel for better and worse I think is the way to look at it. Engel probably didn't show quite that much pop but was similarly one-dimensional as a hitter.
August 3Aug 3 The FO have built up some trust with me when it comes to making moves, but this one is testing that trust lol. I just don’t see it.
