Dick Allen Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 After seeing how Rios and Manny worked out, JR has probably ban KW from claiming anyone making more than minimum on waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Indians were ones who claimed Kubel. I do want to know who we claimed, as KW said it was someone who wouldn't impact this year's roster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgrad70 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2011 -> 12:40 PM) if the Twins were giving him away for nothing, sure why not. If the Twins were asking for something legitimate in return, there's no reason to do that sort of deal, you get a draft pick back but that's it. If the Sox had plenty of money to spend, Kubel would fit in as an OK DH option next year. Unfortunately, I think the Sox have spent their DH funds for the near future. The Sox owners have money, they just don't spend much of it and when they do it's put into hands of incompetent management. You can't be all-in and have as many glaring weaknesses the Sox did going into the season. If you're all in you're trying to get Granderson (which was doable during the off-season if the Sox had offered Danks), Beltre and Gonzalez. All they got for they're all-in trouble was a 48 million dollar stiff. And now the Sox are Dunn. Maybe someday the Sox will have ownership committed to producing an elite organization.

Granderson, Beltre and Gonzalez? Hmmm. Unrealistic much? Though a competent farm could've landed Agon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though a competent farm could've landed Agon. Yeah, but paying him $21 million a year is the problem most other teams had. Although considering Rios & Dunn combined are making more than that, I think it would have been worth it.
