justBLAZE Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 23, 2010 -> 03:14 PM) Right. Which means that the only teams that could have put in a claim were Tampa Bay, Minnesota, New York, and then the NL teams. Unless he is saying that NL teams with worse records could have claimed him too, but I don't see why that's relevant. From my understanding there was only one claim placed, and it was the RedSox.

The team is not done until they are eliminated. They were done in April/May and in the middle of June also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were done in April/May and in the middle of June also. And they're done in August. This is not a playoff team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Damon has much more value than LaRoche does. That said, I am still surprised LaRoche wasn't claimed either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wedmesday Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Aug 23, 2010 -> 04:59 PM) And they're done in August. This is not a playoff team. I am done with anyone who proclaims this team is done unless and until they are mathematically eliminated. Further, as of today, there are no playoff teams whatsoever--only division leaders, of which two or three have seen their leads erode over the last couple of weeks. Further still, in baseball, as in life, "Nothing good ever happened in August". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
