The Ginger Kid Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 04:39 PM) I can't think of any major leaguers who couldn't control their weight well enough to hurt themselves considering they have a whole training staff dedicated to keeping them healthy and the whole " I can make millions of $ if I don't stuff my face " thing going for them. We hear about Fielder and Cabrera , know how big Cecil Fielder got, see ST pics of Cabrera looking fat and yet they produce year after year. So you're just going to worry about a perceived problem with a guy now ? Let me think about it and get back to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 05:50 PM) I would LOVE that trade for the Sox, but I can understand Freese being the hang up from a Cardinals standpoint because thats a lot of f***ing around you have to do with your lineup when they seem to have gelled pretty well thus far into the season. I would be ok with Freese being dropped from the deal and Wong and maybe another minor leaguer being added, maybe Valera or Piscotty. All I have to say, if this is true, don't let Freese be the hang up of the deal. Getting Adams in a White Sox uniform should be the main goal, as he is the impact bat this team needs. If that did happen, one of Konerko or Dunn would soon have to be dealt. I would hope we can be flexible on Freese. It's a little much (a lot much) to expect a contender to trade their productive third baseman. If they're willing to include Adams, we need to be flexible here. Take Wong instead. That would be fantastic trade for us. Edited July 23, 2013 by GreenSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike65 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 05:41 PM) I did not know how good of a 1B he is, but that is good to know he can actually provide value on the field as well. Adams has very good lateral movement to both sides. He fields the position quite well; surprisingly well. His only issue on defense and I think it comes from lack of playing time is that sometimes he goes to try to get a groundball to his right and Carpenter would get it it. In those cases, the pitcher has to cover when Adams can't get back to the bag. Other than that, he has been just fine. It is also important to remember that STL has a groundball oriented staff so he wouldn't play if his "D" was a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Nick Cafardo @nickcafardo 2m Jake Peavy remains a pitcher of great interest to the Red Sox especially now that they know Buchholz might be a ways away from returning. Expand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
