Jose Abreu Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:48 PM) 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.

Dick Allen Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox Fan In Husker Land Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Would it be possible to package Samardzija, Avi, and a prospect(s) for Puig? Would we want to do that? I know I would. I would like our OF and lineup a lot better. Melky, Eaton, Puig in the OF. Eaton, Puig, Melky, Abreu is a nice 1-4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knackattack Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) 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.

If we trade Shark, I highly doubt it will be for another rental. I bet my house on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
