August 14, 201213 yr QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 14, 2012 -> 05:59 PM) Someone tweeted Sox have signed Jose Lopez and assigned him to Charlotte, can anyone confirm this? Good move.
August 14, 201213 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 14, 2012 -> 06:10 PM) Goodbye Huddy? Probably not, but good bye Olmedo certainly
August 14, 201213 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 14, 2012 -> 06:46 PM) Wow, that was out of nowhere. He's an upgrade over Olmedo. With Morel going down, that sure helps.
August 15, 201213 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 14, 2012 -> 06:10 PM) Goodbye Huddy? Probably not, but good bye Olmedo certainly I think it would be Hudson. Olmedo can play SS. But I also think it will be in September making it a moot point. Edited August 15, 201213 yr by Dick Allen
August 15, 201213 yr He's really gone down hill in what should be his prime ..Seems like a typical Sox player with that ugly OBP. KW hoping he can get back to where he once was.

August 15, 201213 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 14, 2012 -> 06:46 PM) Wow, that was out of nowhere. He's an upgrade over Olmedo. And an even bigger upgrade over Hudson.
August 15, 201213 yr This was a predictable and smart move. Kenny has really been acting when given the chance this year. It's as if a huge roadblock to any move involving the active roster was removed at some point during the offseason.........

I would have preferred Fontenot, but I really can't complain too much about this move.
August 15, 201213 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 14, 2012 -> 10:05 PM) I would have preferred Fontenot, but I really can't complain too much about this move. I'd still like the Sox to sign Fontenot. Lopez + Fontenot >> Hudson + Olmedo.

August 15, 201213 yr At some point we have to start exercising caution with the roster moves. You don't want a huge portion of the team being fluid. Lots of pieces have shuffled around this year, from the bench to some very big contributors. Weird dugout vibes can be a product of all of this type of thing.

I think the exact opposite would be true. If you keep the same people that close together for an 8 month period of time, people tend to wear on others. With new people, you get new experiences and new people to talk to, keeping the mood fresh as the year goes on. There is also the risk of losing a good clubhouse guy who is not a good baseball player. In times like that, a good manager will keep heads level and keep the atmosphere loose.

No where near that player

The core hasn't changed and Ventura plays the everyday player a lot.

You just don't want to see Hudson possibly removed from the roster
