7/23 vs Rays

[SoxFanForsyth]

KRod to the Orioles.

 

He was one guy I was hoping the Sox would acquire badly

[SoxFanForsyth]

iglesias can't be far off from a demotion. Take the few dozen infield hits and slice it by half, he's hitting about .280, slice by half again and he's barely over the mendoza line.

 

wat?!?

[mvp 78]

My head hurts. I hope this was sarcastic.

 

Oh, it's not. I consider it performance art.

This must be a matrix that is unfamiliar to me....slice in half for the infield hits and slice it in half again....why???

[jung]

Rarely see a pitch that bangs directly off that elbow pad....looked like Pedey got hit right on the thing.

[SoxFanForsyth]

You have to double his line drive hits if you're going to slice his infield hits

Meh, there are plenty of other quality bullpen arms out there.

[mvp 78]

That's good baserunning.

[Standing Room]

Maddon's gotta be pissed. That's bad fundamental baseball to throw through there.

[Standing Room]

Orioles traded their 4th best prospect for K-Rod. That would be the equivalent of us trading Cecchini, Webster or De La Rosa. Not worth it.

[dduncan6er]

Might want to stop zoning the 1st pitch the Myers.

[Station 13]

Perhaps trying to stay away next time Lester.

K-Rod would have fit pretty nicely here though and we would have had one of our two much needed relief pitchers. Wonder how Delmonico translates to a Sox prospect. Sounds like he has a good deal of development time ahead of him but is a pretty good prospect.

Thanks for the post SR. That is sorta' what it looked like to me. I would not have wanted to do that either.

[MANNYHOF24]

Lester's curve ball has been pretty decent tonight.

[Station 13]

K-rod is a hit and miss these days. Oliver Perez is succeeding in Seattle. I wouldn't give up much for either.

Myers is expecting it no less.

Yeah, he was ranked as their 4th best prospect by Baseball America.

[Palodios]

I wouldn't trade a top 5 prospect for KRod. The Succulent Breasts have done a pretty good job at getting players they want at their prices, Thornton being a good example. We'll definitely see a move, but it will be a more intelligent move than the Orioles did to pick him up. This does bring up the problem that we won't see Johnson blow another 15 saves this season

not even in Cecchini league.

I like K-Rod, I wanted him on the team, but I wouldn't give up anyone above the Brentz/Workman level.

[Station 13]

With Pedroia contract, Mookie Betts (2b)is a trade bait.

[jung]

I would not have considered Webster or DLR for KRod under any circumstances. Cecchini might have been the closest to Delmonico if the Sox were doing that deal but mainly because the Sox have an abundance of left side infield guys.

 

Brewers would not likely have been interested in less than Cecchini out of the Sox stable. Probably says more about the quality of the Sox stable at this moment. We have some good prospects in the system right now.

We have to get some runs off Carmona next inning. You know that f***ing Maddon has 5 relievers lined up for us in a precision sequence.

If we're going to refer to Ben as mammaries, they may atleast be nice ones.
