Major League Baseball slugger Yasiel Puig of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday got two hits and drove in three runs, ending a hitting slump where he recorded just two hits in 24 previous at-bats. What helped turned things around for the MLB 15: The Show cover star? Video games, of course.

 

 

Puig told Los Angeles Times beat writer Bill Shaikin that ditching soccer video games for baseball games helped him improve his real-world performance.

 

"I just stopped playing soccer video games," he said. "I've found, when I play baseball video games, I do better."

 

Puig didn't say which game helped him return to form, but we'd have to wager it was MLB 15: The Show, seeing as he is that game's cover star.

Still don't get how he got the cover over Kershaw, Trout, Bumgarner, Sale, etc.

The Sox have been buzzer beaters before. The Contreras and Peavy deals were announced after the deadline had past.

 

Find a team desperate for a starter, and desperate for some salary relief with a hitter. Lose Shark, gain a hitter, and gain some prospects.

 

Probably the most rational move if they can pull it off. The holes the Sox have on the field are so deep that even a league average player would be a boost, thus leaving some room to add some prospect valuye whilst dealing Shark from the deepest position they have.

I could see a 3 team trade between Chi/SD/NYY involving the Sox getting Upton, the Yanks getting Shark and Kimbrel and sending 1 good spec to each team with the Sox throwing SD some 10-20 rangers

 

Or maybe a situation where we send them Avi and some 2-5 ranged guys and land Wil Meyers, while the Yankees end up with Kimbrel and Shark.

 

Edit: Nevermind he is hurt.

I would agree if we weren't getting a rental. If we trade Shark, I highly doubt it will be for another rental. I bet my house on it.

They'll be conservative all right, they'll be so indecisive we will end up standing pat. Which isn't the worst thing, but boring as hell.

 

 

any sight of Bucket around here today with some info??

Yes they'll make a move by trading shark and not getting a bat just for you to go nuts lol

If they get a good return for Shark and the bats stay hot it may end up being the best thing they could do. Honestly with everyone improving so much getting a rental bat is not the way to go.

One big reason I wouldn't do a Shark for rental bat is you then are losing a decent draft pick. If the net returns gives you the rental bat plus something better than that pick, IMO, it's a no brainer.

Completely agree.
