DirtySox Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:23 PM) I do not like Avisail Garcia. Just want to say that. He can prove me wrong, but everything about him seems like classic value driving. Never put up good numbers in the minors over an extended period of time. You and me both. Crossing my fingers the rest of the players involved are of worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Poster at MotownTigers nailed it: White Sox dumped Peavy and his contract for Avisail Garcia Red Sox are a playoff team that just added a solid starter for a struggling middle infielder Tigers added the struggling middle infielder and traded one of their better prospects to a division rival Hard time seeing the silver lining here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickJones81 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:24 PM) I'd much rather have Garcia than Olt. Maybe, but the Cubs got CJ Edwards also. Owens, Renaudo, Barnes, or Brian Johnson better be in the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:20 PM) Overreaction much? Garcia is definitely the opposite of every other OF we have drafted over the past several years. He shows a really good feel for hitting, however he likes to hit to much and needs to work on being more patient. He's no Mitchell/Hawkins type who has all the raw talent in the world, but a lack of a feel for hitting and major flaws in their swings that cause a K rate up over 30% All his K rates are 20-25% and all his walk rates are 3-4%. The biggest reason he's not like Hawkins is because he hasn't shown any power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:24 PM) Detroit getting beaten like a red headed stepchild in this deal Definitely a Peralta panic move, Dombrowski had to see Garcia as wholly expendable. Just seems so out of character for them and odd for the team with the best run differential in baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:25 AM) All his K rates are 20-25% and all his walk rates are 3-4%. The biggest reason he's not like Hawkins is because he hasn't shown any power. I don't think Hawkins could hit .380 in the minors for a full season unless you added his average up between two years.

kwolf68 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:22 PM) The Sox collect free-swinging, toolsy outfielders like 9 year old me collected pogs and 26 year me collects hobo's toenails. This worries me. Hockey fans will remember the Blackhawks had a 'fetish' for fleet skating, amazingly 'skilled' Russian players in the late 1990s and early 2000s...these guys turned out to be absolutely TURDS, because while they could skate well through cones and on the big euro ice against soft players, their game didn't translate here. The Hawks were a bottom feeder for years and then they eschewed that stupid philosophy and started going after guys who maybe didn't have this or that but...COULD JUST PLAY THE FREAKING GAME. The Sox have become obsessed in the toolsy player like the Hawks were obsessed with Russian tomato cans. I hope this story doesn't have 6 or 7 years of abject failure waiting in store.

greg775 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I don't mind this. Garcia is 6-fricking foot 4 and 240 pounds. The Tigers wanted to play him every day this year. He's the definition of a prospect. This is a gamble I don't mind. It's going to be good to see a big strong guy in the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royoung Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Alex Speier @alexspeier 3s Believe athletic 2B Cleuluis Rondon of Lowell is in the deal.

GREEDY Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 With how much the Tigers had to give up for Iglesias, hopefully it means Hahn can get something more than a lotto ticket for Alexei. Middle infielders appear to be esssspensssive this deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
