At least there is no shock what he brings to the plate.

That was the only one that made some sense.

Can the Padres deal Fraizer?

Pretty hard to do both. The lineup looks lifeless. I say bat him 9th as well.

The problem is this organization is good at developing guys that can only ply DH/1B. Depth is hard to obtain. Any decent player would go to a team to start.

Of course not. The farm system is somewhat barren. You'd hope someone would be interested in Lopez or Stiever. All of the so called farm studs are either playing or on IL.

What makes you think this team is capable of going deep into the playoffs? The starting pitching is there. You can only hope the offense is firing on all cylinders. The bullpen is a dart board with consistency. A veteran arm is needed there. We also assume everyone will be healthy. Too many IFs for this season.

A perfect fix for the Sox greatest IL team in history.

The original asking price was Vaughn. I don't think it's the end of the world if nothing happens. It's not like they tried. This is an unusual situation for any organization. How many winning teams are trading from a position of weakness? That is where they are at right now. Social media is all about attention. It's like DUH! they are trying to get certain pieces. Yet we pay attention to all of these tweets as if there is some truth to them. If nothing happens don't blame Hahn. Either the price was too high or the other team isn't interested in what's offered.

I have no objection to have the pitchers bat.

Quite possible since no one knows the value of Rodon who only has one good season so far.

I can hardly remember when a close game past the 6th isn't.

I'm may more scared of the IL since it likes to acquire our players.

Too many young players who need to get those big league jitters out. The games feel insecure after the 6th inning when the starter is out.

People miss those knee jerk Kenny Williams trades.

Often bullshit or attention grabbing brought to you by Twitter. Maybe the scout was looking at the other team.

I'm seeing a more young inexperience team that is at least a year away. I'd say that shot is quite long.

The media claims that is not the case.

Hopes that they immediately adjust to AL pitching.

At least Zavala doesn't disappoint at the plate. He hits under .200 in the majors and AAA. No lightning in the bottle there.

I've never understood why people think an NL player is immediately going to adjust to AL pitching. Before he got hurt he was doing quite well at the plate. He still hasn't faced a lot of AL pitchers yet.

It wasn't last season. I still think they should have kept McCann because he did well on this team. But you eventually had to see what you have in Collins. Maybe he will get better.

I'd be afraid to throw big money on Rodon based on one season.

It's because of this organization I've loathed the DH. NL baseball is a much better game to watch.

I would not consider is automatic. Imagine if 2 of the starting pitchers go down.
