This is why there is no way you trade Alexei unless someone blows you away with a ridiculous offer.

19 hits allowed in last 8.1 innings. I don't think he's going to be around much longer.

This is exactly why you trade him....with a team very short on talent, you need to utilize assets that likely won't be on the team when they're ready to contend. Unfortunately, almost all of the trade chips have already been used.

4 runs seems impossible. This sucks

Oak 4-0 seems like 23-0..................Did I mention I hate the House Of Horrors that is Oakland?

 

Carroll has hit the wall.

Then who plays SS for the next four years - Semien? You don't rebuild by trading your good players and keeping the mediocre. Now if someone will give you a potential top of the rotation starter, plus a powerhitting outfielder that can actually catch the ball,sure you make the trade. But you don't trade him for a bunch of suspects, or a flawed prospect.

 

Good shortstops who can hit, field and run are not easy to find.

Yay, more 2 out runs allowed. Well, Carroll will always have that Tampa victory to cherish.

Game... No hitting+triple A pitching= Suck

Should have walked Reddick btw

Big inning coming up for the Sox.

I'll take my chances finding a suitable replacement if it means getting a big package in return for him. There's really no one else that can be realistically traded by the Sox that will bring anything decent in return.

You forgot AA Outfield Defense

Nice swing by Beckham, even better defense by Cespedes.

I could agree with your line of thinking depending on the quality of the big package. For instance i would never trade him for a package of the equivalents of Avi Garcia, Leury Garcia, Matt Davidson, plus a couple of other low level prospects. If I'm trading a top level SS like Ramirez I want top level players in return.

He gawn soon.

I was thinking the same thing. It's like when Humber threw the no hitter. Didn't he immediately suck after that? Carroll obviously is not a good prospect. Bye bye soon.

Sierra. Ugh.

I see why Sierra was on the waiver wire.

Sox really stink right now. The A's are in a different league than the Sox. I know we've had injuries, so I'm not flaming, but we certainly are starting to play to preseason expectations.

Stay hot, Rick Hahn.

Well yeah, we don't have 4 hitters in the offense right now playing out of their minds.

Sierra ... just another guy who has to go. Too bad some of those minor league outfielders that were high draft picks aren't ready.

But Hawk said Steverson told him he had "almost six tools."

fixed it for you..there are no outfielders in the minors right now that project as starting MLB outfielders the next few years. Hawkins has the best chance, and he's years away.

Leury with a great catch out there!

But Hawk said Steverson told him he had "almost six tools."

I heard that between that and GB, Hawk has lost his mind.
