chisoxfan09 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Angels got him. Did they have a worse record than us? Hmmm, they are 70-59, Sox must have not been interested. Edited August 24, 2011 by SpainSOXfan09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the mess of a team you created is floundering/wallowing in mediocracy then I guess desperate times/circumstances demand desperate measures to save face for this season.

Milkman delivers Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 12:13 PM) I'm still a bit baffled by this "Detroit is solid" talk. They have a total run differential on the season of +5. They're leading what is clearly the worst division in MLB. They've had a weak schedule, which is of course a function of playing the AL Central, and they have a unique ballpark that gives them a pretty large homefield advantage against weaker teams The Sox aren't going to catch them barring a miracle, but I can't see how people have decided a team that can't run away with this year's AL Central is a monster. There's quite a large difference between solid and monster. People are calling them solid, as you said. I'm not sure what argument you're even trying to make.

Cali Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I said it in the AL Central catch all, but I think there is every chance in the world if a game one match-up is Verlander vs. Lester/Sabathia that the Tigers lose 2-1 or 3-2 and then they're f***ed. IF the White Sox offense can score 4 earned against Verlander TWICE in a season, the Red Sox or Yankees could too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just an attempt to stuff the wires to get the players they would be interested in potentially trading, not claimed. Each team only gets so many claims per day as I understand it.
