2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 10:14 AM) Looks like Boston has some interest in Lindstrom. http://www.mlbdailydish.com/2013/7/28/4564...ires-jake-peavy I'd love to get Betts and/or Johnson for Matt like this article suggests. Betts looks like a fun prospect to follow. 1. His names Mookie and 2. He can take a walk. Johnson was a 2 way player at Florida and he's pitching really well right now in A ball(opponents hitting under .200 against him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I had the Dodgers getting Lindstrom, but the Wilson signing makes it much less likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I noticed last night that Lindstrom pitched to one batter. Ventura has never used him purely as a situational righty before. Perhaps showcasing him a little....his splits are still strong against right handed hitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 03:00 PM) I think it had more to do with Brantley (lefty) pinch hitting, Bourn (lefty) on deck, Swisher in the hole (switch), Kipnis (lefty) after that and Cabrera (switch) after that.

Mr. Showtime Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'd guess Lindstrom just ends up as a throw in type guy in either a Peavy or Rios trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 He's better than a lot of crap in people's bullpens? Yes, he's worth one lottery-ticket type prospect and eating most of what he's owed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, well last night, Nate Jones, who has pitched once in the last week and is clearly our 2nd to best reliever. doesn't come out to take the 8th inning. INstead, Ventura uses Lindstrom. What's the explanation for that? Now it could be Ventura being Ventura. But that decision seems so dense, that it might suggest a showcase (that didn't work).

Would you say no to Reed for Owings+? I wouldn't. I'd trust Jones or Webb as the closer next year. If the offense takes off and neither are successful then they can look to add a closer in 2015.

Paulstar Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 If your trading Reed, you better get a better prospect than Owings. Owings looks like a nice prospect and all but he is flawed (inflated numbers this season, poor K:BB, can he stick at SS?). I'm not understanding why everyone is infatuated with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owings looks like a nice prospect and all but he is flawed (inflated numbers this season, poor K:BB, can he stick at SS?). I'm not understanding why everyone is infatuated with him Oh idk, maybe because he's batting .346 in AAA and is showing plus power for the SS position. Scouting reports say he can be solid at SS. He's a top 100 prospect, that's kinda more than what I'd expect for an above average, not great, closer. Plate discipline is something I believe a hitter can work on more as they get older. We're seeing a little bit of that with Dayan this year. Edited July 31, 2013 by scs787 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Reed's a relief pitcher. If you can get a dynamic shortstop prospect for him, consider it. And the reality is that our farm is much more adept at developing pitchers than hitters. Deal from strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
