G&T Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 26, 2012 -> 11:01 PM) Is that legal? Player & ball ended up in HR territory. If you were to to jump the fence & then catch the ball in the stands, would that be an out or a homer? A part of your body must in the field of play to record an out.

Maybe as long as you take off in the field of play it's an out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptatc Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ May 27, 2012 -> 09:29 AM) FWIW, I love Pods. He was fun to watch play and he was a big part of why our Sox get to wear a ring. However, I'm not a fan of other teams pulling contributing players out of thin air when my team rarely gets that lucky I don't know they seem to find alot of them. Quintana, Humber, Thornton, Pierzynski, De Aza were all guys released by other teams or were on thier scrap heap. The Sox have a pretty good history of getting production out of players from thin air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox have a pretty good history of getting production out of players from thin air. Not to mention Jenks, Santos and Alexei Ramirez weren't highly coveted. Floyd fits this bill, with his trade value at an all-time low. Loaiza. Contreras, Dye, Pods, Iguchi, etc. Quentin was the classic buy low candidate, an unquestionably talented player trapped by injuries and the depth chart out it AZ. The $10 million for a 23 year old Viciedo seems like a bargain compared to the $45 million and only 4 years of rights to Cespedes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post sucks. Tell us who it freaking was! I've been trying to find this for 10 minutes, but no one decided to name the freaking player.

The A's have 6 years of rights to Cespedes just like any other player. Once the 4 years are up though he's in arbitration for 2 years like any other player would be.

Basically, he is treated as a veteran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, what's up with that fence. Is it because the stadium is so big they put up some little temporary thing? I've never seen anything like that.
