No one wanted to see nearly all of them underperform this year, even if it means a top 3 pick. I get it. Think back to 2015 though. The Sox won some game that didn't matter and had Benitendi stolen away from them. I'd rather have that stud then some victory no one remembers.

greg775 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Somebody turned Soria around. Coop? Abreu? Somebody deserves credit and we fans need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the question is ... do you want us to blow this lead and lose cause of the tank/draft pick issue? Greg's take: I want my nemesis Soria to dominate and us to WIN! So win or lose, folks. What do you want. Please speak now. Good Soria = He gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re going to have to live with Moncada and Anderson...but what, if anything, do we have in Davidson and Yolmer? RH platoon DH and a utility infielder?

greg775 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 This is one of those 60 or in my case, one of the 49. I'll take it. Outstanding baseball win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and Shields have both been playing around with different arm angles to give the hitters different looks and perhaps more movement, especially to LH batters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A's broadcast crew noting that Dustin Fowler was initially going to be in the Yankees/White Sox trade last year until the injury happened.

Sleepy Harold Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Soria has looked very good, can see him being a nice 7/8th inning guy for a contender if he's moved around the deadline (if not sooner). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some GM of a contending team truly would have to have balls to trade for this version of Soria. Of course most divisions are gonna be runaways cause of so many tank jobs, etc., so .... Anyhow you give up 2 great prospects for this version of Soria? Risky cause he could turn into the Jack the Royals fans knew and despised and the one who was awful before he got fixed. At any rate I can be a man about it and give him credit for a job well done for a month now. He's earning his money the last 4 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
