PolishPrince34 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Worried way too much on that PTBNL-Myers was a steal. Great trade by Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFirebird Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 06:24 PM) The word "MEH" should sum up his time with the Jays/Yanks. Good actor though. Can make the ump think he has a catch when he doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we did. Some believed it could have been Walker or Snodgress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some believed it could have been Walker or Snodgress Yeah, I never understood this. Probably showing my ignorance but...since Myers was already in a Sox uniform anyway, didn't the Sox have all the leverage? Why would they give up someone of significance? What are the Astros gonna do if they don't like the person being offered, ask for Myers back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 QUOTE (GO CHI SOX! @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 05:04 PM) Wise is insurance for Danks or De Aza.. Good smart pick up... To call Wise insurance for De Aza is to have a $10,000 policy on a $500,000 home. Insurance for Danks - perhaps, as long as you don't let him bat.

claydude14 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Pretty sure Wise had a higher OPS than Ichiro when he was DFA'd by the Yanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I like Wise but what is wrong with Danks? He can sure go get the ball Nothing is wrong with Danks. They're pretty similar players. The difference is that Danks might have some future with the Sox and I'd rather see him playing every day in Charlotte and let Wise sit on the bench in Chicago.

wagner10 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 And KW steals another one with that PTBNL haha. Loving KWs moves this year, Wise is going to be a defensive replacement late when he comes up for DV probably and give De Aza a few days off in Sept. as well. Cant complain about signing a guy who plays good D and has some speed. Does anyone know what the contract was? Cant be to expensive being a Minor League contract. And does the finalization of the Meyers deal and this extra little note of Wise and getting Youk and Liriano make KW the GM of the year? I dont think anyone else has made the moves hes made besides maybe the Dodgers GM with Hanley and possibly Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Is Wise as good as Jordan Danks? I would say No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Wise will be a nice pinch runner in September. And that's something we can actually use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
