ChiSox59 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 02:13 PM) Yet more sickening disrespect of Eddy Alvarez Yah, nothing more exciting than a guy OPSing .692 in his 2nd trip through AA as 27 year old!! Alan Hanson is a guy everyone on here wanted a few years back in a trade. Trying to think of who it was we were looking to move at the time at Pittsburgh was rumored as interested. Peavy maybe?

ptatc Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 02:13 PM) Yet more sickening disrespect of Eddy Alvarez How do you come to this conclusion? This looks like a guy for AAA who could fill in if something were to happen to a middle infielder now. Alvarez would not be ready until next year or a Sept call up this year at best.

Glasnow, Hanson and Kingham for Peavy was the board favorite. Also, I read Alec instead of Alen and was very confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) He's fighting with Vinicio and Cabrera, not Alvarez....and if Alvarez had a 750+ ops, he would be on the verge of a promotion. Edited June 9, 2017 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFutureIsNear Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 03:18 PM) Does he go on the 25 man roster or minors Believe he has to go through waivers to go to the minors...which I doubt would be a problem since it seems highly unlikely intone would carry him on their majors roster. Don't see how this is anything anyone could possibly be upset about though. Just a possible reclamation project to have in the minors. This is the type of thing bad teams should do.

Didn't realize he spent at year in on the big league club. So in order to get him to AAA, pretty sure Sox would have to expose him to waivers as well.

All though to be fair, if the Sox won the claim, that means he got through the entire NL, plus almost all of the AL as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Curious to see what the Sox do here. Could always just option Willy Garcia. Or Minaya. Or Infante. There are lots of options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They currently have five outfielders, and I bet they want Engel to go back and get more PT. I don't think this is related to Alvarez, or Peter, though neither are exactly beating down the door anyway (though Alvarez has been improving).

He has been playing the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
