ron883 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I had no idea Dunn has never played in a playoff game. Wow. Glad he finally gets to play in the playoffs. I hope he has a good playoff series and wins it all with the Athletics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad he finally gets to play in the playoffs. I hope he has a good playoff series and wins it all with the Athletics. Might be one game in which he loses and goes 0-4. Losing the Play-In Game shouldn't be considered "making the playoffs", but I guess that's a different topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Good trade for everyone. I hope Adam just kills it in the playoffs but very happy we got a live arm for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 In Sanburn, the Sox will acquire a right-hander that ranked 12th on MLB.com’s midseason list of top 20 Athletics prospects. The 23-year-old was Oakland’s second-round pick back in 2012 and has pitched to a 3.28 ERA with 9.2 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 in 71 1/3 relief innings at Class-A Advanced this season. He’s finished 23 games and picked up six saves in his time at Stockton. Sanburn has been plagued by some shoulder issues, but he also has less mileage on his arm than many pitching prospects due to the fact that he was an outfielder in college and for part of his time in college at Arkansas. Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com note in their free scouting report that Sanburn touched 99 mph in college and offers a curveball with good depth as well. The MLB.com duo notes that Sanburn has a promising slider and changeup as well, but concerns over his durability have led to a bullpen role this season in Oakland.

sin city sox fan Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I hope this doesn't hurt our chances of signing him to a new contract in the off-season. I know Dunn would have given us a "home town" discount previously, but one has to wonder how this trade impacts the viability of that happening.

Dunt Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Pretty excited Hahn got a potential bullpen piece for Dunn. Hopefully Sanburn will pan out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he would have done it before, he would still do it now. Dunn should not be a primary target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 11:57 AM) I wasn't making a lineup, lol. I think it's just important to note the massive turnover the team is going through. Obviously Paulie is gone and I hope Viciedo is traded by the start of next season. That would leave us with just Alexei and Flowers from 2013-2015 and neither of them are locks for next year's roster. EDIT: I misunderstood your post, but he did start. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CH...201304010.shtml Actually I misread yours.

BaconOnAStick Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Call up Sanburn, open auditions for roles in the 2015 bullpen before we acquire one outright in the offseason. I'm half joking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ultimate Champion Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 12:47 PM) Study him, talk to him, see if they can make him a starter again, with that stuff he has. The video posted on the previous page puts his FB at 90-93 and touching 94 out of the pen. Presumably in a rotation, the velocity would go down on the fastball and the shoulder issues may become more of a risk, but the offspeed pitches have a better chance of developing. Making him a starter, even if he stays healthy, would seem to make him a #5 candidate. I like Rienzo's profile better, and Rienzo is still a #5 type. We need a #3 SP so you keep this guy in the pen IMO, and you do the same for Rienzo for that matter going forward, you see if he can make it as a MR because that's really a problem area for us both now and going forward, and it's very difficult to patch through FA.

I'm half joking. Bassitt, Rienzo, Carroll, Cleto, Guerra, Surkamp, Snodgress, etc., etc. this team is going to be loaded with guys trying to take a 2015 bullpen slot as it is. All the guys mentioned also have at least some experience in the high minors and most have a good bit of MLB experience now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A's probably don't give up Sanburn a month ago when they were running away with the division. Good trade for Hahn. The A's are going to be torn apart over the winter.
