Would you guys be interested in Nick Burdi with our 2nd round pick? Local kid who's having a great year at Louisville, just doesn't start, he's their closer.

Can anyone else see Gillaspie be on the bench next year covering 1b/3b with Davidson and Abreu starting. I would love to keep him, but I wanna see Davidson start.

Still early, but the Peavy trade could benefit the Sox greatly.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20140414 Birmingham and Kanny both postponed, but Rienzo starting for Charlotte and Wendelken starting for WS. Hawkins 1-2 with a K. Wendelken looking good as a starter....

Love taking 3 out of 4 from Cleveland. Real nice to see. Now let's take the series against Boston.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 14, 2014 -> 09:11 AM) That was a point of conversation on 670 this morning. I wonder what they could realistically get for him from the Yankees or Pirates... How much is Alexei owed on his current contract? I think it would be wise to sell on him high, but if this team is anywhere close to a playoff spot, no chance he gets traded.

Only pitcher I want from the DBacks is Reed if they begin to sell. I wouldn't touch any of their starters.

I read from Buster Olney on Twitter the other day that if the DBacks keep falling back, they could a team that folds it in early. I wouldn't mind trading for Reed again if Sox are in the race...

Man, it would be sweet to take 3 out 4 from Cleveland early.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Apr 11, 2014 -> 07:29 AM) Carrasco=Abreu HR #5 and #6!! Sox should win this one. Carrasco is garbage, but we've seen how garbage pitchers look like against the Sox. I just want to beat Cleveland again.

I see Sean Bierman is in Kanny. At 25 for low A, i guess he doesn't have much of a future. Where is Ben Kline? I don't see him on any roster.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 01:35 PM) De aza's trade value will be minimal, at best. 2 lower level prospects I think he can net.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 01:32 PM) Just saw that Sox big bats not only knocked Wil Lopez out of the game yesterday, but he was sent down to AAA today, inf Rutledge brought up. Would not be surprised to see him in the lineup today, especially if Tulo is hirting. I saw that too. Feel bad for the guy, it was real nice to be on the side of a good ole slaughtering.

I also like that Viciedo is in the line up. I still think he's part of the core and only 25. On the other hand, still have to play De Aza to get his trade value at its highest

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 01:11 PM) Hopefully no 88MPH fastballs from Erik today. Hopefully the velocity is up. Warm day in Colorado, I hope his fast ball is 91-93 today.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 11:35 AM) Those trades are not remotely comparable to the Molina deal - both of the other ones were salary dumps. The White Sox removed Swisher's contract, got him off the roster, and got back a couple of wild cards in the Marquez deal - Betemit and Nunez came back as well. The most important thing was clearing Swisher off the roster. Zach Stewart came back to the Sox along with Jason Frasor when Jackson and Teahen were dumped. Again, that was a salary dump, but we got back Frasor who, although ineffective for us, was then dealt for the guy who threw the hardest fastball I've ever seen in person, Daniel Webb. So out of that one, we got rid of Teahen's salary, got rid of Jackson, and wound up with a future closer (and Myles Jaye as well). Those trades aren't remotely comparable to the the other ones. Sergio Santos was not a salary dump. There were no other spare parts, there were no other wild cards, there were no other guys who could potentially contribute to the MLB roster along with that trade, it was straight up, one guy for the other. Myles Jaye will be in this rotation sooner rather than later. Bank on it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 10:24 AM) Josh Feldman ‏@BigTexJosh 11m Not only has James Dykstra retired all 15 batters faced so far, Hickory has not hit a ball out of the infield. Pitch count: 46 (34 strikes). He's already 23. I hope to see him in high A or even AA by years end if he continues to do well.

Dykstra 9 up 9 down.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 08:12 AM) Nathaniel Stoltz on twitter was saying that Danish was touching 92 in his last start. He lost a lot of velocity towards end of season last year. If he can sit around 92-93 with that delivery, I think that he can be pretty effective. Yeah that 92-93 mph drops like 6 inches too.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 08:08 AM) The K rate for Hawkins is still concerning but he looks better at the plate. He has massive power. Very promising start still compared to what ended up happening last year. Davidson is trying to force his way to Chicago. Jared Mitchell is awful. I love checking that Winston Salem box score because of all the talent down there. One last thing, Rondon has been very impressive. If he can hit at all, that Peavy trade could be a major coup. Agree with everything. Rondon has been hitting really well early in the season. I love all 4 players Sox got from the Peavy deal.

I love a good ole **** shellacking

OMG ABREU!!!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 8, 2014 -> 10:06 PM) Last year some players would be back in the video room and not even come out. That's why I think we'll love this team this year and for years to come. Good times and bad times, gonna be a fun and exciting team to watch and completely different than previous years.
