July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:16 PM) I'm more worried about what our system would do to Garcia than Garcia himself. Ah yes the system that brainwashed Brian Anderson to being bad at baseball, yes
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:16 PM) I'm more worried about what our system would do to Garcia than Garcia himself. That's why you trade Rios now and Garcia doesn't see the minors.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:15 PM) I'm predicting Garcia, Middlebrooks, and a pitching prospect to the Sox. Middlebrooks confirmed not in this deal
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:16 PM) I'm more worried about what our system would do to Garcia than Garcia himself. I don't see him spending much time in the "Sox system". He'll likely be the RF with the big club starting August 1.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:17 PM) Garcia is another physical specimen who doesn't know how to f***ing hit. Why can't we, just once, get someone that understands the strike zone? For reals.
July 31, 201312 yr We have a ton of folks following this topic. Peavy is gone. I loved that guy and his fiery competitive spirit. Not sure of who all we get in return. Hopefully more than one player
July 31, 201312 yr Surprised somebody hasn't pinned down the whole trade yet. C'mon man! I need sleep!
July 31, 201312 yr Garcia is a big time talent. Give him a chance and don't project the poor play of other disappointments onto him

Why can't we, just once, get someone that understands the strike zone? I'm with you but the dude is killing Milb pitching this year. Look at his stats. It's like he has nothing left to prove.

July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:19 PM) What a bad trade by the Tigers As presented, it sure seems that way. Garcia and "a MLB pitcher" for Iglesias only?
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:19 PM) What a bad trade by the Tigers Overpaid badly. Blame Jhonny
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:19 PM) What a bad trade by the Tigers They must know for a fact that Peralta is done soon.

Why can't we, just once, get someone that understands the strike zone? Overreaction much? Garcia is definitely the opposite of every other OF we have drafted over the past several years. He shows a really good feel for hitting, however he likes to hit to much and needs to work on being more patient. He's no Mitchell/Hawkins type who has all the raw talent in the world, but a lack of a feel for hitting and major flaws in their swings that cause a K rate up over 30%
July 31, 201312 yr @alexspeier: Red Sox are including other players in the deal, lower level minor leaguers. Working on specifics... http://t.co/304AIQGJQR via @WEEI
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:19 PM) What a bad trade by the Tigers Yeah, they must have struggled to find a cost-controlled guy they liked
July 31, 201312 yr Avisail Garcia has a great hit tool and is young (22) but his walk rate is bad the last thing the sox need is another f***ing free swinger, hopefully he develops like Carlos Gomez minus the speed and defense.
July 31, 201312 yr Anyone's lesser prospects likely as good as our top prospects now so hold judgment on this Peavy 20 starts a year easily replaced
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:19 PM) What a bad trade by the Tigers Desperation at its finest, Illitch demands a WS before he dies
July 31, 201312 yr REALLY hope this gives them the flexibility to add cash in other deals IE Rios and Alexei. That would make it worth it along with Garcia who looks legit. I approve of this trade after consideration.
