Eminor3rd Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/07/red-...assignment.html The TRADE WIND implications should be obvious. We have Flowers, AJP is now available. I am not advocating acquiring him, but some will. Let's just dump all of this here. It's better to contain it in a single thread, right?

lasttriptotulsa Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 He don't have a whole lot left in the tank, but it's certainly more than Flowers has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My presumption is a contender comes to him as well and maybe he considers that, otherwise would be surprised if the Sox / him didn't see a nice fit. He could be a good mentor for Nieto too, imo.

BigHurt3515 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Bring him back. That would be awesome!! He will hit .250 probably but maybe be revived coming back to the SouthSide This is shocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I'd welcome AJ back in a heartbeat. Could use his left bat, defense, game calling and attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 AJ has been pretty bad for Boston this year BTW: .254/.286/.348. I wouldn't mind having him over Flowers for the rest of the year though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 At worst it would bring some MUCH NEEDED local headlines and attention on our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I guess the only hurdle is how hurt was his camp when we really didnt offer him much on the market previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 A veteran catcher with plenty of experience with us and has shown a nice ability to grow young pitching staffs while still being able to hit somewhat comparatively to the rest of the league replacing a guy who is just historically bad right at this point. There's no reason to hate it, but someone will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
