June 13, 201114 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 06:05 PM) You mean he's laughing cause no way he'll pay Rios? Or that he's laughing cause Rios is such a s***ty player he wouldn't want Rios? Pls. explain. Because there's no way on Earth he'd give up a couple young arms with promise and simultaneously take on the $44 million still remaining on Rios's contract with his .575 OPS. If you put him on waivers, it's possible some team could gamble on him, it's happened before. But "a couple young arms with promise"?
June 13, 201114 yr does anyone know where i can find more info about the sunday kids days? i just want to know if its kids 12 or 13 and under and if u can only get them that day
June 14, 201114 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 04:27 PM) Padres designated Aaron Poreda for assignment today. Another outstanding 1st round pick. Good thing they didn't take Rick Porcello or Ben Revere or Tommy Hunter. Edited June 14, 201114 yr by The Ginger Kid

OK I just wanted to see if you were agreeing with me that he's terrible. I'll change it to trading him for 2 minor leaguers of any kind, then.

June 14, 201114 yr Porcello would have been the pick instead of Poreda if he hadn't chosen Boras as his agent.
June 14, 201114 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 01:54 AM) Porcello would have been the pick instead of Poreda if he hadn't chosen Boras as his agent. Porcello would have been taken much earlier in the draft if Boras wasn't his agent....
June 14, 201114 yr Hey... does anyone ever go to Barcardi at the park when the Sox are playing on the road? Is it even open? I wouldn't mind going down there to watch the Sox v. Minnesota.
June 14, 201114 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 01:53 AM) Too bad hindsight is 20/20 as well. Yeah, that seems to be the standard response when anybody brings up our deplorable draft history. Jared Mitchell instead Mike Trout? Hindsight is 20/20. Lance Broadway instead of Jacoby Ellsbury, Colby Rasmus or Matt Garza? Hindsight is 20/20. Juan Pierre instead of Babe Ruth? Hindsight is 20/20. Yes, I totally used hyperbole with that last one. The point is what the hell is our scouting department getting paid to do? You could hire me and I could botch draft after draft for half the salary. Edited June 14, 201114 yr by Jordan4life

I wouldn't mind going down there to watch the Sox v. Minnesota. The director of operations was on air during the game last week. Right now, I believe he said they are trying to work something out, but they are not open during road games yet.

It would be cool to go down there and watch games on the big screen with sound and all.
June 14, 201114 yr QUOTE (MAX @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 03:22 PM) Yeah, I agree. Or how about road playoff games? Hell yes. I would bet they would definitely be open for those.
June 15, 201114 yr QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 14, 2011 -> 03:14 PM) Ah okay thanks. It would be cool to go down there and watch games on the big screen with sound and all. And pay ball park prices for beer? Pass for me. Nice place, but way too expensive.
June 15, 201114 yr The Sox will now have 55 division games after July 3rd. Tigers- 12 Twins- 14 Indians- 13 Royals- 16 There's your season.

It's that way every season. Got to beat the teams in your own division and Sox have sucked at that last year and change.
June 15, 201114 yr Not sure if this was posted but.. Edwin Jackson vs Daniel Hudson, Friday. I would hope J4L has scout seats for this one.

June 15, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 15, 2011 -> 12:08 PM) The world will explode. We need a giant Jump to Conclusions mat for the game thread. It is going to be a nightmare of Canuck fan proportions.

Maybe the DBacks will bring up Brandon Allen for the series. He's having a decent year at AAA Reno. 60 games, .299 BA, 9 HR, 39 RBI.
June 15, 201114 yr I know a few weeks ago, people were saying that the Marlins wouldn't be an option for Ozzie since they were doing so well. Since then, they've imploded and look to be on their way to a disappointing season. Just something to keep an eye on for the next few months.
