Swihart DFA

[mvp 78]

Exactly. He’s such a good catcher but still can’t get into a game...collusion!

 

But Leon IS ONLY IN AAA AND NOBODY WANTS HIM AND IS A NO GOOD POOPY FACE WHO IS FAT. Or something.

 

3-0 and counting since the trade.

I knew Swihart had no chance to clear waivers luckily he got traded. Mike Hazen and Torey Lovullo were familiar with Blake from their time with the Red Sox organization. Plus if he would've hit waiver the Blue Jays would've probably claimed him with Ben Cherrington in their front office as VP of baseball operations he the one who drafted him in the first round back in 2011.

He stinks.

[Thunder]

That's how horrible his stank is.

 

Meanwhile I'm in love with Chavis so far. I know it's an apples to oranges comparison, but still. And I think the Leon effect has already been seen on the rotation

I just really liked the Chavis interview after his first game. Seems like a real down to earth guy who knows how to game prep. Thumbs up from me so far.

It's funny to me how he took Swihart's number. Real slap in the face, but I like it

It was his high school number, so maybe he liked it more than the other options.

Sale is winless since they traded Swihart and brought Leon up.

 

I can play this game too

[SCM33]

Thank god for Vasquez. We cant win a game with the fat slob behind the plate. Things look great when Vasquez is catching.

 

Not to mention, Vasquez can hit a tiny bit, which the fat slob cant do.

[SCM33]

Swihart is 1-4 with an RBI and batting .250 since the trade.

 

Swihart is starting in RF tonight for the Dbacks.

 

Leon is batting .000 and Chris Sale is still winless.

 

Leon is too fat to play another position.

Do you think the Sox should have kept and played swi in RF and benched betts?

Well, was that a serious question? What are you accomplishing with this waste of nonsense?

 

The passive aggressiveness of this place f***ing sucks. How about you either make a point, or.....stand behind something?

Sox need Swihart back for outfield depth.

Don't speak highly of him. Slasher might be watching.

Or — Gorkys Time!!!

He's stinking up AAA, right now, with a .548 OPS.

 

[mvp 78]

Swihart sucked. The only person on her who legitimately liked him was Spud and that's because he had the hots for Blake's mom. Everyone else is just making an argument just to be argumentative. Blake didn't even succeed at the AAA level. He really shouldn't have been in MLB last year.

 

SoxProspects did a long podcast about how the Sox did Swihart dirty with development and I think they really showed their ass. Just because you project someone to be good, doesn't mean it's the organizations fault if it doesn't work out.

But he’s really all the Sox have for outfield depth unless they bite the financial bullet and add Rusney to the roster.

 

I also like Cole Sturgeon, but I don’t think he’s going to be added any time soon...

Holt.

Injured.

Injured.

 

He'll be back soon. Depth is fine right now. No reason to talk about players like Castillo.

I think Castillo is probably a better outfielder than Holt...

Not worth the $ tho.

He’s getting paid the same regardless of where he is. If the Sox need to add an outfielder and it costs more than 40% of the taxable amount, it makes sense to just add Castillo. And it also might slightly increase chances of moving him...

JD, Moreland, Pearce, Holt, Nunez and Lin all have OF experience.

Nope.

Yes. Holt is okay.

 

I think all are still better choices than wasting a roster slot on Gorkys.

 

If one of our 3 OF'ers goes on the IL, then maybe...
