Frank_Thomas Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 02:42 PM) Is cespedes good at defense? Man, i'd love love love that power. Yes Cespedes has a rocket arm and is very good defensively. Plus playing with Abreu we would have a chance to resign him after the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 02:39 PM) I know you were kidding, but that SoxNet account mentioned that too for some reason. Just because player so and so isn't in a lineup in late July, way too many people feel a need to make it out to mean something other than most baseball players don't play 162 games a year. It is probably nothing. But it can't hurt to pay attention to those sorts of details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 This team is seemingly building a lot of great chemistry, and I hope whatever move is made does not mess with that much. Not too worried about it, but just a thought. This team is gellin' and I don't want anyone traded that might be missed by someone on the big league roster. If Avi's teammates love him, keep him please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive, he likes it here with Aberu and Alexei as fellow Cubans. Negative, no draft pick connected to him and teams will likely overpay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Or he could play LF and Melky could DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Thomas Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 There is always an advantage of talking to Dombrowski, he doesn't F around. AA just said the same is his press conference. He said the Price deal was first talked about before Tulo and he wasn't available but AA told him to call them if anything changed. DD called at 6 last night and AA waited till after 10 didn't hear anything so was half way home till DD called at 1130 with ideas for deals. He said by three am they had a deal. So I hope we are talking to the Tigers about Cesepedes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative, no draft pick connected to him and teams will likely overpay. His contract calls for him to be released at the end of the season. Teams releasing players cannot sign them again until May 15th. The team that winds up with Cespedes on the last day of the season will be his ex-team 5 days later.

Sockin Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) I like Cespedes but not as a rental. If you give them Avi, you have a hole in RF to fill next year in addition to catcher/3b/SS. Edited July 30, 2015 by Sockin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams releasing players cannot sign them again until May 15th. The team that winds up with Cespedes on the last day of the season will be his ex-team 5 days later. Can he request the release or does the team have to do it? I'm confused by that, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
