July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:43 AM) but the rumors before we got AJ was all bad, but when he was on the team, he was good.... so why not the same with Gomez??? Well for one thing AJ was brought in at the beginning of the year; not in the middle when the chemistry and clubhouse are all set. And the Sox did a lot of due diligence on AJ. And honestly with laid back Ventura, we do need players who will behave, listen to the coaches, respect the coaches, etc. Edited July 30, 201510 yr by GreenSox
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:11 AM) I love when people rip KW for trading prospects for veterans, even admitting the prospects for the most part weren't very good, but still insisting it has destroyed the franchise, get a thread going like this. Advocating more KW-type moves. If they were wrong before,(which I don't believe) they are wrong now. The prospects weren't good because our farm was terrible. I think people are more hesitant now because they think these players will be big leaguers.
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 10:01 AM) I'm hesitant to give up Micah. I think he's the most sure thing of an offensive player to come through our system since Beckham (yeah yeah). Perhaps odd coming from me since I'm his biggest critic on the site but I still have faith he's going to be a good player for a long long time. I wouldn't package him and another top prospect in Montas (essentially emptying the farm) for 1.25 years of a player. I would love if Montas was the focus of the package. Or Garcia. Or both. Anderson is the better offensive player in my opinion.
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:46 AM) Very commendable that you take harsh and insulting disagreements with such good grace . The prospects lovers don't like Gomez or Gonzalez so we all have our opinions . But the turnaround really started when the defense got better way before the offense so I'd like to continue that trend. Hey I'll admit when I'm biased lol. I don't take message boards to heart. We're on a roll and having fun man. Good old discussions on who we want. I'm not here to be a jerk.
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:36 AM) I f***ing hate Carlos Gomez. But I've still got a pipe dream where we send Avisail Garcia as a significant part of the package to get him. Crack ,opium or marijuana PIPE dream ?
