QUOTE (Lillian @ Jul 23, 2016 -> 02:14 PM) Let's try to analyze this from a different tack. What are the holes that need to be filled, going forward a year or 2: SS Anderson RF Eaton 1B Abreu DH ? C Collins 3B ? CF ? 2B ? Lf ? Trade Sale to Boston for Moncada and Jackie Bradley Jr., filling the holes at second base and centerfield. Boston could use Holt in center, for the rest of the season. Trade Robertson, Frazier and Melky to which ever teams could fill at least 2 of the other 3 holes, with young cost controlled players. You could include Lawrie, but he probably wouldn't bring back much. I'm beginning to get excited about Alex Call as a potential future outfielder. A DH could best be acquired in the Free agent market, and if Collins ends up at first, Abreu would DH. Keep Quintana, and hope that Rodon, Fullmer, Adams and Hansen, could fill out the rest of the rotation. Burdi and Jones might be able to hold down the back end of the bullpen. I would say Abreu is DH and 1B is a "?."

Garcia in, Morneau on the bench. That'll teach him to hit a three run homer.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) How much do you think Robin wishes he could go home? He can go home whenever he wants. He didn't really want the job in the first place.

QUOTE (Insp @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 09:23 PM) Saladino! Right after the pitcher throws him some chin music he lines one right past the pitcher's head for a base hit. Nice.

I really like Saladino.

Kinsler swung at ball four.

Can't find the plate.

Oh boy.

Let's see how our Fulmer does in a tight game.

So are we buyers again?

I like Morneau!

Abreu with another clutch hit tonight.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 07:15 PM) I don't think they have any plans to trade him, and I also don't think they are going to rebuild in the traditional way. They'll use Q to get near MLB ready bats. Maybe the Sox will listen to the best offers they can get for Sale then try to convince them to take Q instead.

Melky is a stud.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 07:14 PM) I think they've gotten the best offers they're going to get. They aren't going to trade him. If contenders start bidding against each other they may get something crazy as the deadline approaches.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 06:59 PM) @aycockonxion According to the same source, the Astros offered Springer plus prospects, and the Sox declined. I'm beginning to think the Sox are going to get an offer they can't refuse for Sale before the deadline.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 06:53 PM) This won't end well I just hope it ends. Any rain in the forecast?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 06:50 PM) Abreu is so hard to watch on defense Should be strictly a DH. Here come the Tigers.

Saladino is a good ballplayer.

Sigh.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 06:08 PM) The Aston have Bregman but still they're not trading Correa. I mean if they said ok lol this deal would progress further. Where would he play?

Abreu got a clutch hit!

Melky continues to hit.

Tie game. Kinsler HR
