July 31, 201312 yr Not paying Peavy's contract may pay immediate dividends when we make deals in the next 12 hours
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:34 PM) I'm curious to see this 240 lbs running around like a gazelle. Plus defense? Can that be mostly from arm strength? He has 20 base steal potential, so he definitely has some range out there.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:34 PM) Don't forget that Dayan Viciedo may still figure things out. Imagine that LF/RF combo if they get anywhere near their potential Viciedo's on his usual progression. Starting to figure out RH pitchers and showing more patience after repeating a level. Still love the kids potential.
July 31, 201312 yr This is a really good outcome for us. Maybe not the names some wanted but a very good return for an expensive player who won't help us materially in the future. Prospects are icing on the cake
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:36 PM) Viciedo's on his usual progression. Starting to figure out RH pitchers and showing more patience after repeating a level. Still love the kids potential. His recent play against righties has been EXTREMELY encouraging
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:36 PM) It should be very, very interesting watching Peavy pitch in the postseason. Shhhh, he's a warrior.
July 31, 201312 yr IF TRUE, the Sox being cheap with regards to prospects kills them here. Again and again and again and again.... This franchise has no chance of being run properly until Reinsdorf dies.
July 31, 201312 yr Funny thing is I think I already was tired of Hawk going on an on about Avisail Earlier this year
July 31, 201312 yr I know it's shocking, but I won't freak out tomorrow if Rios isn't dealt. They can just keep Avisail in the minors the rest of the year and then try to trade Rios in the offseason or move Garcia to LF after the year and Viciedo to 1B.
July 31, 201312 yr Detroit must figure that putting Peavy in Detroit gives the at least one win in a series.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:36 PM) Not paying Peavy's contract may pay immediate dividends when we make deals in the next 12 hours Stop making sense!
July 31, 201312 yr I would be very surprised if we don't have a plan to get Garcia in the lineup muy pronto. He doesn't have much to prove in AAA imo. This has to motivate us to move Rios
July 31, 201312 yr Nick Cafardo @nickcafardo 6s Asked D-Backs GM Kevin Towers if he came close on Jake Peavy, "Guess not." https://twitter.com/nickcafardo Screw you Towers
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 04:37 AM) This is a really good outcome for us. Maybe not the names some wanted but a very good return for an expensive player who won't help us materially in the future. Prospects are icing on the cake We have no idea how Garcia is going to turn out. As of today, considering his AAA performance and the fact the Tigers wanted him to be the starter, it's a good return for Peavy. Let's hope the Sox luck changes under Hahn and this guy is a star for the next 12 years. On paper I'd give the Sox a B for this trade or A-. If all that Peavy money is off the books, I'd think Hahn would already be in Jerry's great graces.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:35 PM) lol, Garcia should wear 34 so that people will already own his jersey Thought the same myself. Double plus good.
July 31, 201312 yr Expand Reply Retweet Favorite More Ben Badler @BenBadler 1m Cleuluis Rondon: Really smooth defensive shortstop. As for his bat, well . . . he's a really good defensive shortstop. Expand
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:33 PM) If we can continue landing players of Garcia's caliber with our other guys we're going to be looking good for the future I get the high ceiling s*** and all, but sooner or later we have to go back to getting the guys that are good at baseball.
