SoxAce Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Dear god yes. His fastball velocity has decreased, and I've always found him overrated as a prospect, but he's still just 23 years old. Solid secondary pitches, right handed, etc. With that said, no chance he gets past the Cubs. I think Theo has to be chopping at the bit here. Perfect buy low type.

brian310 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 He will end up with Cubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harfman77 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 They are speculating that he may be part of a trade. Perhaps the target that RH has been after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royoung Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Shows again that the Tigers really know their prospects. Hopefully Avisail Garcia proves the exception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Couldn't we technically work out a trade for him? I'd be all for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 QUOTE (chisoxfan310 @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 11:58 AM) He will end up with Cubs If the pitching starved Rockies don't claim him first, they get first dibs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 5, 2014 -> 12:23 PM) Not after July 31st. I think he means in the 10-day window in which he is designated for assignment, reaching a deal with the Marlins to acquire him instead of risking that he make it to the Sox via waivers.

I know, you still can't do that. You can't make trades after July 31st without a player passing through waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Yeah he won't get to us. Too bad. Hard to believe they couldn't have traded him before the deadline if they were five days from DFA'ing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
