July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:24 AM) Detroit getting beaten like a red headed stepchild in this deal Maybe, or maybe Detroit is just very confident that Garcia will never develop any power. If so, there isn't much value in it for us. To me, this smells of a KW deal. A guy who seemed to tear us apart last year (I.e. Teahen), who we then become infatuated with. If he develops power, it's a greAt deal, if not, and his discipline doesn't improve, he will be of very little use to us. I'm afraid that Detroit knows their player a lot better than we do. Hope it isn't the case though

July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:26 PM) Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 1m One longtime evaluator likes the White Sox part of this deal, because of the promise of Avisail Garcia. Well no s***
July 31, 201312 yr Also keep in mind that Detroit has the best hitting lineup in the AL and the worst infield defense in recent history. Iglesias is an EXCELLENT fit for that team with Fielder/Cabrera around for the long haul.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 04:29 AM) Doesn't Hawk love Garcia? "Garcia has a chance to be a monster"...we'll hear that a million times
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:25 PM) All his K rates are 20-25% and all his walk rates are 3-4%. The biggest reason he's not like Hawkins is because he hasn't shown any power. The guy is 22, has the tools to be an above average defensive RF (who knows, possibly better), and 20-20 potential. Even if he never develops great plate discipline or sees his average in that .300 range in the majors, he should still make for a solid RF for several years (a lot better than dealing with Rios out there). Plus, if there is no cash involved, I'm actually getting excited at what might happen tomorrow at the deadline. People here were expecting the moon for Peavy, and in all actuality, this is looking like a really solid deal for the White Sox.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 04:28 AM) Heyman says Sox get three more low level prospects from Boston. So 4 players, including one guy who was one of Detroit's top prospects (ready to play now at the age of 22) who stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 240 and don't have to pay any more of Peavy's contract? Wow. This is a good trade, folks. Is it confirmed Boston will pay the whole Peavy contract?
July 31, 201312 yr I hope the Dbags get the f*** beat outta them every single game the rest of the year!
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:30 AM) Teahen? That is your comp? That is just awful. Did you read it? I never compared the two players. I compared the situations upon which they ended up here
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:29 PM) Doesn't Hawk love Garcia? Yes be cause he looks like Miguel Cabrera and they seem to be friends.
July 31, 201312 yr I'm very excited to see Garcia play and I don't think anyone here can feel any different, whether they think he'll turn out or not
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:31 PM) "Garcia has a chance to be a monster"...we'll hear that a million times You nailed it. Agreed totally.
