fathom Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hopefully it's Adam Eaton the outfielder and not the former Padres pitcher. With KW in charge, you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Eaton is indeed an exciting player, but I wouldn't expect the general fanbase to really know that. He's hardly played in MLB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Rojas is being fed info by the agent while Merkin is getting it from the team. The agent is trying to get LA to commit a second year for Uribe.

Entertaining guy, great teammate. Doesn't fit their plan right now And I see a guy who is more than willing to diverge some details. I also don't see what Latin American sources would have insight into this situation. I don't think the Sox are in on Uribe whatsoever.

They will mislead the hell out of you, but if the beat writer says "the Sox are not in on Juan Uribe," then I have to believe they are not in on Juan Uribe.

He was serviceable last year in the rotation, but let's not pretend he's a frontline starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was serviceable last year in the rotation, but let's not pretend he's a frontline starter. Maxed out his talents? For being bounced around last year, I'd be excited to see future improvement from him with a full year in the rotation. For all this talk about the Sox going young to get Eaton, it sure seems like getting rid of a young pitcher in Santiago could be counterproductive.

Don't know from which organization, #WhiteSox or #Angels. Trumbo plus 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
