South Side Fireworks Man

QUOTE (Baron @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 06:37 PM) Garcia and LaRoche showing the front office why we clearly dont need any more hitters on this team At least LaRoche can pitch.

Alexei!!!

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 06:35 PM) Avi screams "KW" Avi was Hahn's pride and joy. He was the only position player Hahn ever labeled "untouchable,"

Too bad Hahn thought Avi was more talented than Iglesias. Sox could have had Iglesias at SS and either sold high on Alexei or put him back in the OF where he would still be better than Avi.

Good.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 09:14 PM) I still like my plan. "Avi every time you hit the ball to the right side you owe me 40 pushups". Drop and give me 40, Avi!

I like Sanchez.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 08:52 PM) Avi seems to be regressing QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 08:52 PM) No doubt about it. QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 08:54 PM) The fact they were trying to upgrade with a corner outfielder makes me think he might be traded this offseason. The front office isn't dumb, they can see how awful his WAR is. QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 08:55 PM) Sox got sold a bill of goods. Avi was the crown jewel of Hahn's plan. He was to be the cornerstone of Hahn's roster of the future. I don't trust Hahn's judgement at all.

I was hoping they'd get a good outfielder to replace Garcia, someone like Reddick, Parra, Gomez or Puig. After doing that, was hoping they might replace Flowers with AJ. Now watch them lose the series to the Yankees.

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 02:27 PM) When did Starlin become Public Enemy #1?? When he ("allegedly") sexually assaulted that young girl the night before he left the country?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 07:11 PM) Micah got pulled after 2 at bats. Dont know if injured or traded. Hopefully traded.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 06:56 PM) WHERE WOULD ANYONE WE ACQUIRE EVEN PLAY RF.

OK LaRoche.

Now it's LaRoche's turn to get hot.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 03:19 PM) No Soto and LaRoche is playing. Momentum killer? I hope the two day bench rest causes LaRoche to go on a tear to regress to the mean. Flowers - ugh.

Well, I certainly hope he washes his clothes.

Saladino and Robertson got it done.

Ugh LaRoche.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 02:07 PM) Avi is ok. DH and Catcher is the main thing. Bring up Micah to DH and work with Sanchez on defense every day, and have Soto start every game except when Sale starts. Done and done I'm on board. Let's do it!

With the way Saladino, Ramirez and Sanchez are now playing, if the Sox could just improve in RF and DH they'd ave a pretty decent team. Oh yeah and a Catcher who could catch would help too.

Looks like the Sox found their second baseman.

Welcome back, Alexei!

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 25, 2015 -> 11:59 AM) If I'm the Sox, I look at upgrading every single position minus 1B with Abreu there. So if it's overpaying for Todd Frazier or Robinson Cano, so be it. This team is not good enough, to put it lightly. And that has to do with the everyday players. You could also upgrade 1B and put Abreu at DH.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 04:44 PM) If I'm not mistaken, KW is more responsible for the scouting aspect than Hahn. Wasn't the story that Hahn hadn't even seen Abreu in person when he was signed? Not that this really changes anything... Abreu was KWs doing. One of the few decent players they have.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 04:02 PM) Oh the significant haul talk. Remember that pre Peavy trade talk? Some of the best prospects in baseball. Yeah that's what this sounds like. I don't trust Hahn's ability to identify/evaluate talent. He has a poor track record so far.
