June 17, 201411 yr Why not trade for him? Even with his sub-par performance this year, he is still better than at least one of our starting outfielders.
June 18, 201411 yr Wasn't there an "I told you so" thread/posts about Grady's "resurgence" this season? Yeah...

June 18, 201411 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 01:46 AM) lol. I'd rather start Jordan Danks or Moises Sierra. I agree. Let's stay with our own people. It seems every time a player gets DFA'd by some team we have the inevitable "let's get em" posts. The guy was dfa'd for a reason.

June 18, 201411 yr Short Answer no. Our outfielders are bad, so is Grady. We are looking to build for the future not let a broken down old veteran try to reignite his career with us. I'd rather see Keenyn Walker out there than Grady Sizemore....... Seriously though, the four outfielders we have are the ones we are sticking with unless we DFA Sierra or trade De Aza or Tank.

June 18, 201411 yr QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 07:12 PM) I would rather see Sizemore than watch De Aza. Obviously not a huge sample size, but De Aza does have a .333/.417/.567 slash in June. He's clearly been a lot better as of late.

June 18, 201411 yr QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 17, 2014 -> 07:12 PM) I would rather see Sizemore than watch De Aza. I'm sure you'd also prefer to watch Frank Thomas hit. Unfortunately, this is not a celebrity softball event we're watching.
June 18, 201411 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 06:42 AM) No he's not. But he does carry more clout. His bathroom selfies are far more popular than Viciedo's. And I've never heard of "Alejandro's Ladies" sign him
June 18, 201411 yr I still think ADA will turn it around. It was crazy looking at dudes numbers from the previous 3 years....Dude batted .323 with an OPS over .900 w/ RISP.

June 18, 201411 yr Wouldn't the point of trading for an outfielder be to upgrade that position? The Sox have enough scraps already.
June 18, 201411 yr QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 11:40 AM) Then I guess someone needs to tell De Aza and his .200 average that. so much worse than .224 and bad knees
June 18, 201411 yr QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 11:40 AM) Then I guess someone needs to tell De Aza and his .200 average that. Splits Alejandro De Aza 2012 - .281/.349/.410/.760, 585 PAs 2013 - .264/.323/.405/.728, 675 PAs Grady Sizemore 2012 - .000/.000/.000/.000, 0 PAs 2013 - .000/.000/.000/.000, 0 PAs At least De Aza has recent history of success.
