June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:16 PM) Who plays first base after they pinch run for Paulie late in the game now? Youkilis
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:17 PM) Kevin Youkilis. Flowers has also played 1B lately.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:17 PM) He had 4rbi yesterday which brings him to a grand total of 6 this month. Dude isn't doing well and I trust the guy who takes walks to snap out of it first. He's missed MANY games this month due to interleague, or has only been a PH.
June 24, 201213 yr KW: "He hasn't felt this good physically in a long time." Biggest cliche in the book. Edited June 24, 201213 yr by maggsmaggs
June 24, 201213 yr They are minimum wage guys. Zach is probably still on a two way contract that pays him less while in the minors. At tops it is a million dollars, and the Red Sox would be paying it. Combined, Brent and ZS are making about 1 million this year. So really, the Sox are only adding 1 million in payroll.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 10:16 PM) KW has never made a mid-season trade where the player(s) helped send the team into the playoffs that season. Let's hope this is the first. Blum doesn't count haha Griffey
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 03:20 PM) He's missed MANY games this month due to interleague, or has only been a PH. Played 20 games, PH in 3 of them

June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:22 PM) Played 20 games, PH in 3 of them Only having 17 starts in 24 days could have contributed to his slump.
June 24, 201213 yr Rongey is still quoting that bogus Boston radio twitter account about the Thornton rumor yesterday. What an idiot.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:23 PM) One weakness filled. What's next, Dempster? Dumpster's hurt.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:03 PM) So the big question now is...will Danks give up his #20 to Youk? Can't, new rule against number changes midseason.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:23 PM) One weakness filled. What's next, Dempster? All I want is ohman replaced if Danks is healthy come deadline time.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (MAX @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 06:25 PM) All I want is ohman replaced if Danks is healthy come deadline time. Ohman isn't exactly a starting pitcher? Axelrod would go back to the bullpen if both pitchers came back.
June 24, 201213 yr My only complaint about this deal is that it wasn't done sooner. We go on the road for the entire week. Had this trade been made right after the Cubs series, we get Youk for at least 2 games at home. That would have been a nice attendance boost, even though we drew alright the past two games.

I am saying this team could use a stronger lefty reliever if danks is healthy. This team could use a starter and a stronger lefty reliever if danks is not healthy.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:27 PM) Not suprised. Rongey is loves him some Thornton. Like to a weird degree.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (MAX @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:25 PM) All I want is ohman replaced if Danks is healthy come deadline time. Well if U-man replaces Paulie at first then Odawg has to still play third. I do like that there are so many name possibilities for KY ....Hey most reputable drugstores carry KY.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:24 PM) Dumpster's hurt. I know I think that plays into our hands and lessens the demand for him. He comes back with questions, he also has made it clear his family will stay in Chicago with his daughter having that illness. I can seenus working out something with Theo, a lesser package knowing it's a one year thing. After this year he signs back with the Flubs and gets to keep his family here like he wants to. I just have a feeling.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:28 PM) IMO, Youk is gonna play a lot better over here than a lot of people think. He will play well and help Sox win alot of games.
June 24, 201213 yr QUOTE (sunofgold @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 05:29 PM) Well if U-man replaces Paulie at first then Odawg has to still play third. I do like that there are so many name possibilities for KY ....Hey most reputable drugstores carry KY. OMG dude...stop it, that's going a little too far.
