iamshack Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 QUOTE (wilmot825 @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 05:06 PM) Question since he isn't playing tonight None of us can rule out the possibility for certain. But I think they just want to give him a day off. He's been struggling pretty badly for 2 weeks now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I think it is highly unlikely that Jermaine is being traded at least not this year. Probably just getting a day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 is rios is coming, they'd have to make room for him somewhere, but I can't imagine the core vets would be happy to clear space by getting rid of a teammate they really seem to like.

JorgeFabregas Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Dye is not being traded. I will give the OP no less than $15 if Dye is traded for Rios. It's not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie Ball Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 QUOTE (WCSox @ Aug 9, 2009 -> 03:16 AM) In RF? Not really. He has a combined -74.7 UZR over the last 3 and a half seasons in RF. He's an atrocious defender. It's unfortunate that people listen to Hawk's crackpot opinions because he's wrong a large majority of the time.

Dye is a better hitter with more power, but Rios is the vastly superior defender and base runner. That said, I don't want Dye moved as I think he'll turn his slump around and help down the stretch. Rios Id love to go for, but our OF would be crowded. Once back in the groove, Dye is playing and he can't DH because Thome. CQ isn't leaving the lineup either and ScoPo gives the Sox a credible leadoff hitter. Just don't see the overall fit unless you plan to start platooning some guys.

YOu probably want us to trade Dye for Rios. You probably didn't want Dye in right field during our WS season. Give me a break please with the word "atrocious." He may be average out there but he's not f***ing atrocious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he makes nice catches after running in place for 3 seconds doesn't mean he's a great outfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 He's not a great outfielder, but he's not "horrendous" either. Some people would love it if we could switch players every month.

Some people would love it if we could switch players every month. Guys are easy to take for granted. How could anybody blast Dye? Ingrates. No, he's really bad. He takes good routes to most balls, but when he screws up even a little bit, bad things will happen. He has trouble with line drives hit a bit over his head. When he runs towards the line for a ball, he's so slow getting there it's hard to watch. He makes some nice plays in front of him, but that's because he's had some experience before on those and because he doesn't need to do much running. Dye NEEDS to be a DH next year. In fact, he should be one now. He's been one of the worst OF in baseball since 2005. The knee injury really screwed him over defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) Because it's genuinely funny. If you guys want to mock me for standing up for Jermaine Dye, by all means do so. He is not "atrocious" or "horrendous" in the outfield. You act like every ball hit out there drops. Jermaine Dye is a f***ing stud. You disgree with this?? Wow. Excuse me while I pop in my World Series tape. Edited August 9, 2009 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
