July 31, 201312 yr I love when people get upset about prospects they've never actually seen before. It's like watching the NBA draft, but way better
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:22 PM) Reed and Ramirez together makes sense for both the Pirates and Cardinals. Adams and Martinez? Glasnow, Kingham, Taillon? Throw in Lindstrom I say.
July 31, 201312 yr Grimm is Lance Broadway, Olt has been terrible in Iowa, CJ Edwards isa great A-ball pitcher and Neil Ramirez has questionable medicals.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:22 PM) For those who who don't like the trade, Garcia is at or near the top of our prospect list. He should contribute in 2014. He has to be #1.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 12:19 AM) Taking out the cash it's not debatable at all. The savings is real, that's a big part of it
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 05:13 AM) If you're not going to get much for him and have to eat a lot of his contract, you're much better off saving him and hoping he can finish strong and then deal him this offseason. As you saw in the Peavy deal, teams aren't too interested it seems in high-priced guys with a lot of money left on their deals. Yeah but I want him in right field now, not Rios. QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 05:15 AM) You know we're going to win like 20 out of our last 24 like we usually do when we suck but can't do to save our lives when we are actually decent. No way. Sox stink at home and the road losses will take care of themselves. QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 05:22 AM) For those who who don't like the trade, Garcia is at or near the top of our prospect list. He should contribute in 2014. He should contribute now if we dump Rios tomorrow.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:22 PM) Grimm and Olt are both AAAA players to me Is it a consensus Garcia > olt?
July 31, 201312 yr Garcia wears 34? Hope you guys didn't throw away your big game Freddy jerseys Edit: completely forgot that Gavin Floyd exist Edited July 31, 201312 yr by kev211
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:21 PM) Det. got hosed, so far. Yup. Tigers pulled a head scratcher here. I love it. Peavy will be KING for Boston... This year, and next.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:25 PM) He has to be #1. And sadly it's not even close
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 05:25 AM) The savings is real, that's a big part of it No denying that.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (onedude @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:23 PM) Throw in Lindstrom I say. I'm with you man. You call mozeliak I'll call Huntington.
July 31, 201312 yr I really, reality like Montas. Wouldn't surprise me to see him become the gem of the deal if he harnesses his control.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:24 PM) I'd much rather have Garcia than Olt. +1000 Looks like an okay deal for us, great deal for Boston, terrible deal for Detroit. So terrible that, gosh, couldn't we have swung some Alexei their way?
July 31, 201312 yr Tomorrow is going to be interesting. Red Sox are huge deadline winners thus far. Going to be hard to beat. Maybe someone will get desperate.
July 31, 201312 yr South Side Sox @SouthSideSox 1m Then there's this. / RT @based_ball: Avisail Garcia has Triple-A's ninth-highest swing rate, 18th-lowest contact rate (sample = 365 players) Expand Food for thought.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:18 PM) Unfortunately Peavy got injured or maybe the Rangers would have went after him instead. Doubt it. AJ never/rarely caught Peavy. I didn't like the Cubs deal anyway. We didn't need a 5th starter or an Olt. That AA pitcher they got looks good though.
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:25 PM) Is it a consensus Garcia > olt? I think so. Looks to me like the book is coming together on Olt, pretty much ready for publishing. At the very least I feel like Garcia has a lower chance of totally busting. What do you think?
July 31, 201312 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:28 PM) South Side Sox @SouthSideSox 1m Then there's this. / RT @based_ball: Avisail Garcia has Triple-A's ninth-highest swing rate, 18th-lowest contact rate (sample = 365 players) Expand Food for thought. He swings and misses a lot as a 22 year old in AAA... What's new?
