The Redneck Sox.
That's not true. The Cubs are three games ahead of the Sox.
Well, then I'm confused now, too.
Would it hurt ESPN to hire a competent fact checker? (This is one of many boo-boos I've seen them make recently...)
Or the Tigers?
Or the Tigers?
Or Twins?
Well, that's the question. There are those in this thread who are adamant that is no longer the case.
Actually, Martin has been claiming to be a member of the Red Sox for several years now.
There was one person who was adamant and, after other people said otherwise and included links to support their position, he admitted he was mistaken. Go look at the end of the first page. See posts ## 79, 91, and 94.
.565/.615/1.130/1.745, 4 HRs, 7 Runs, 9 RBI
Not that Bay has been anything other than a stellar performer:
.423/.500/.692/1.192, 1 HR, 10 Runs, 6 RBI
The Dodgers must have some great medical people on staff -- looks like Manny's knees are not bothering any more.
The CBA uses the phrase "assign a contract" rather than "trade", etc.
I thought it would be something like this.
Giles has hit with decent power away from Petco. In 07 he slugged .496 on the road, in 08 it was .449. I still don't like the trade though, unless someone is hurt more than we know. I don't want the Sox giving up some promising young player for a redundant rental.
As for the Ortiz to 1B move, I can't imagine them trying that. They have gone to great lengths to keep him at 1b and now he's coming back from a wrist injury.
Whether the Red Sox pick up Giles doesn't change the fact that the Rays will not be getting him.
The possibilities are:
1) The Padres and Red Sox work out a trade by tomorrow and Giles agrees to have his contract assigned
2) The Padres dump Giles on the Red Sox
2.1) Giles refuses to have his contract assigned and stays with the Padres
2.2) Giles agrees to have his contract assigned and goes to the Red Sox
3) The Padres pull him back off waivers
3.1) The Padres hold on to him for the rest of season
3.2) The Padres place him on waivers again and a whole bunch of teams place claims on him because the waivers are irrevocable
What "promising young player" do you think they might have to give up? And where would you draw the line?
I'm one of them and not yet ready to admit my error. Specifically, Mitch, I believe your last two links are out of date and the first one is also based on out of date information.
RETRACTED: This does not appear to apply to Trade Assignment waivers (what's going on now) - this is still league by league. However, those links are still old or in need of refining.
Nicely played.
on a Papi off day:
c Varitek
1b Youkilis
2b Pedroia
ss Lowrie
3b Lowell (Cuban, but light skinned)
lf Bay
cf Ellsbury (partial Native American ancestry)
rf Drew
dh Giles
p Beckett, etc
Lets give half credit to Lowell and Ellsbury for a WW score of 9/10 (or 1/10 if you prefer). Any other teams come as close this year?
(intended to be fun, apologize in advance if found offensive!)
edit: forgot C
Where I'd draw the line all depends on the health of the team. If Ortiz or an OF is going to be out, then I'd have the same line as MCOA's. If everyone's healthy and Giles is just super-duper depth, then I don't want to give up anyone remotely interesting. If SD wants to dump the salary and get a C prospect or 2 back, fine. If not, I say no thanks.
I'd say the Pirates can outdo them:
C Doumit
1b Eyechart
2b Sanchez (American-born and raised, pretty much in the Lowell category)
SS Wilson
3B LaRoche
OF Moss
OF McLouth
OF Michaels
P Karstens, etc.
Rockies can too, even with Helton, Spilborghs, and Podsednik all on the DL:
C Iannetta
1B Atkins
2B Baker
SS Tulowitzki
3B Stewart
OF Holiday
OF Sullivan
OF Hawpe
P Cook, etc.
C Doumit
1b Eyechart
2b Sanchez (American-born and raised, pretty much in the Lowell category)
SS Wilson
3B LaRoche
OF Moss
OF McLouth
OF Michaels
P Karstens, etc."
It's probably Pearce in RF rather than Michaels, but that's the same for racial purposes (and it's LaRoche 1.0 back at 1B as of this weekend). You could reasonably put Bixler at 2B, under the assumption that Freddy's getting an off-day.
.565/.615/1.130/1.745, 4 HRs, 7 Runs, 9 RBI
Yeah, but when you adjust for the difference in league quality that's only like .320/.380/.600.
