July 9, 201411 yr http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/07/red-...assignment.html The TRADE WIND implications should be obvious. We have Flowers, AJP is now available. I am not advocating acquiring him, but some will. Let's just dump all of this here. It's better to contain it in a single thread, right?
July 9, 201411 yr He don't have a whole lot left in the tank, but it's certainly more than Flowers has.
July 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 11:43 AM) He don't have a whole lot left in the tank, but it's certainly more than Flowers has. Exactly.
July 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 11:43 AM) I would expect the Sox to explore this ASAP. My presumption is a contender comes to him as well and maybe he considers that, otherwise would be surprised if the Sox / him didn't see a nice fit. He could be a good mentor for Nieto too, imo.
July 9, 201411 yr Bring him back. That would be awesome!! He will hit .250 probably but maybe be revived coming back to the SouthSide This is shocking
July 9, 201411 yr I'd welcome AJ back in a heartbeat. Could use his left bat, defense, game calling and attitude.
July 9, 201411 yr AJ has been pretty bad for Boston this year BTW: .254/.286/.348. I wouldn't mind having him over Flowers for the rest of the year though.
July 9, 201411 yr At worst it would bring some MUCH NEEDED local headlines and attention on our team.

July 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 01:45 PM) and retire a sox and immediately come be a team ambassador or whatever he wants to be. Just in time for the tenth anniversary

July 9, 201411 yr I guess the only hurdle is how hurt was his camp when we really didnt offer him much on the market previously.
July 9, 201411 yr Please bring him back to Chicago. As long as I don't have to see Flowers at the plate anymore.

July 9, 201411 yr s***, I'd sign him for the remainder of this year and next, and guarantee him all the playing time.
July 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 01:43 PM) I would expect the Sox to explore this ASAP. I sure as hell hope not. I'd rather call up Phegley
July 9, 201411 yr A veteran catcher with plenty of experience with us and has shown a nice ability to grow young pitching staffs while still being able to hit somewhat comparatively to the rest of the league replacing a guy who is just historically bad right at this point. There's no reason to hate it, but someone will.
