Y2Jimmy0 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 11:38 AM) He always was. I heard an interview with Robin, he doesn't know what is going on with Rios' situation and doesn't want to know unless he is being moved. It would be interesting to see where Garcia was at the moment. That would be the indication about what was going to happen. Viciedo has been scratched in favor of Danks though. All the beat writers said they'd know what happened prior to Game 1. Strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Viciedo scratched, Danks to play CF. First time both Danks brothers are in the starting lineup together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 04:44 PM) He either showed up late, is sick or hurt. I'm sure his thumb is still bugging him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 11:50 AM) I'm sure his thumb is still bugging him. I'm glad he was scratched. I hate Viciedo hitting 8th. He wasn't going to see any pitches with Flowers behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'm glad he was scratched. I hate Viciedo hitting 8th. He wasn't going to see any pitches with Flowers behind him. Viciedo probably wasn't going to be batting 8th. Order probably got rearranged when Danks was put in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't going to see any pitches with Flowers behind him. Judging by the Twins starters today, I think everybody is going to get a lot of pitches to hit.

Order probably got rearranged when Danks was put in there. The lineup that I saw earlier had Viciedo in the 8th spot.

Butter Parque Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 05:27 PM) If he trades him over the winter instead of just letting him go, the Sox will have paid $4 million for the prospect or prospects they receive. I hope they actually have a shot of being successful in the big leagues. It doesn't seem as if management is all that concerned over that aspect of it or they would have given him away already.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 9, 2013 -> 08:09 AM) I'm just assuming he stays. I understand why they don't just want to give him away, but if they did just shed the payroll, it wouldn't bother me. I know that's not the popular opinion, or necessarily the right thing, but I wouldn't care if they just let him go to get the money off the books and get Garcia in the lineup. It may not be the popular opinion here at Soxtalk but if you read through the lengthy comment section here http://www.southsidesox.com/2013/8/9/46047...er-trade-rumors it seems the consensus is the salary dump is the way to go.

Jake Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 There is no pressure to dump salary. We have enough money to buy players if we want them. What we don't have is talent and our money can't buy that. Our players can buy that, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have enough money to buy players if we want them. What we don't have is talent and our money can't buy that. Our players can buy that, though While there's no pressure to dump salary, there's the very real fact that dumping salary allows you to have a wider array of options in the future. The next time a big overspender needs to come back to earth and move a still-decent piece, we're going to be there waiting. Maybe not now but whenever that point will be when we're ready to go for it again And it depends on how much we've dumped and how much we've held back on dumping.
