October 19, 201510 yr Is Domonic Brown worth picking up? http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/10/phil...onic-brown.html
October 19, 201510 yr I was typing out hell no when I realized I'd rather have him then Avisail Garcia.
October 19, 201510 yr Nah, rather give Thompson the atbats to see what more he has to offer. If the Sox didn't have LaRoche, I could see interest in Brown.

October 19, 201510 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 03:12 PM) I was typing out hell no when I realized I'd rather have him then Avisail Garcia. Debating those two would be like arguing douche vs. turd, but I would rather have Avi.
October 19, 201510 yr I think it would be worth it just to count how many teams please misspell his first name Dominic or Dominick or Dominicks.
October 20, 201510 yr for Charlotte, sure. Maybe he ends up a late bloomer, but I can't see him getting an MLB deal this offseason.
October 20, 201510 yr Left-handed Avi. He won't sign just to be stashed in Charlotte, so it won't work. Aim higher.
October 20, 201510 yr I'll say this much about Dominic; his one very good season (2013) directly coincided with Wally Joyner being the Phillies assistant hitting coach, and Wally worked extensively with him throughout that year. When Wally left the Phillies at the end of 2013, so did Dominic's production.

October 20, 201510 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 11:26 AM) That correlation won't hold up in court, my friend. Luckily, it doesn't need to!
October 20, 201510 yr QUOTE (Hamhock @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 09:52 AM) Luckily, it doesn't need to! Touche.
October 20, 201510 yr I think having a healthy Avisail Garcia with some learning experience time will work out for the Sox. He has a ton of talent and I think he is willing to do what is necessary to improve as a player. Why throw him out to pick up a castoff? Plus I think Trayce Thompson may very well be in contention as the 4th OF'er or a starter, if the team moves around, or changes, the DH role

October 20, 201510 yr Anyone know if Avi has any options left? He might need the Erik Johnson rehab program.
October 20, 201510 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 12:08 PM) Anyone know if Avi has any options left? He might need the Erik Johnson rehab program. Pretty sure he has options. He doesn't show up on this list of out-of-options guys from the start of 2015, and he didn't spend any time in Charlotte last year, so.
October 20, 201510 yr As a low cost option, spring training invite, for the OF? Sure. For a starting job? No.

Heck he's worse than Viciedo. Sox need athleticism Edited October 21, 201510 yr by GreenSox
