Butter Parque Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 03:24 AM) Detroit getting beaten like a red headed stepchild in this deal Maybe, or maybe Detroit is just very confident that Garcia will never develop any power. If so, there isn't much value in it for us. To me, this smells of a KW deal. A guy who seemed to tear us apart last year (I.e. Teahen), who we then become infatuated with. If he develops power, it's a greAt deal, if not, and his discipline doesn't improve, he will be of very little use to us. I'm afraid that Detroit knows their player a lot better than we do. Hope it isn't the case though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:26 PM) Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 1m One longtime evaluator likes the White Sox part of this deal, because of the promise of Avisail Garcia.

Eminor3rd Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Also keep in mind that Detroit has the best hitting lineup in the AL and the worst infield defense in recent history. Iglesias is an EXCELLENT fit for that team with Fielder/Cabrera around for the long haul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulstar Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 10:25 PM) 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. The guy is 22, has the tools to be an above average defensive RF (who knows, possibly better), and 20-20 potential. Even if he never develops great plate discipline or sees his average in that .300 range in the majors, he should still make for a solid RF for several years (a lot better than dealing with Rios out there). Plus, if there is no cash involved, I'm actually getting excited at what might happen tomorrow at the deadline. People here were expecting the moon for Peavy, and in all actuality, this is looking like a really solid deal for the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 04:28 AM) Heyman says Sox get three more low level prospects from Boston. So 4 players, including one guy who was one of Detroit's top prospects (ready to play now at the age of 22) who stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 240 and don't have to pay any more of Peavy's contract? Wow. This is a good trade, folks. Is it confirmed Boston will pay the whole Peavy contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
