Just heard it myself. Haven't followed him this year, but in the past, Riske was pretty damn good...hmm, guess its the ole "Prospects are only prospects, give me MLB ready players."

Lopez isn't a prospect :P

This is an excellent deal. Boston's bullpen is without a lefty reliever that I would call remotely reliable, and the White Sox needed another righty reliever. Riske was good, not great but good, with Cleveland last year, and his absence due to the Marte/Crisp deal has really hurt the Tribe.

Too bad Kenny couldn't convince them to take Boone Logan.

He was very very good last year.. 3.10 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 72.7 innings pitched :)

I'm excited as hell about this trade. Either way, we weren't going to use Lopez.

 

But, does anyone know what kind of injury he had this year? And does he have a history with injuries?

His back.

Wow, fantastic trade, I remember him just kicking our ass all those years in Cleveland, he's a welcomed addition to the pen as a righty setup man.

 

 

I am with you on this. Great trade. We give up a AAA that we didnt have room for, for a proven vet who knows how to pitch in the AL Central. He has a live arm, and hopefully will give us some more stability to our pen.
