Red Sox Claim Giles off Waivers
Didn't see a thread on this. On Baseball Tonight they said the Sox are negotiating a trade for the 37 year old that would likely include Coco Crisp. But who would play Center Field? With Giles' numbers, you would have to start him, or maybe make him DH if Ortiz goes down. The Red Sox are one of the teams Giles can reject on his no-trade clause, but you have to imagine that if the Sox tell him he will start, he will welcome the move to a contender.

Re: Red Sox Claim Giles off Waivers
Meh, I wish it were Marcus. Brian has nothing to offer for Boston, especially in a stadium like Fenway. It will just be another deep right field like PETCO.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60 -
Re: Red Sox Claim Giles off Waivers
Giles blocked/rejected the claim, he's staying in SD.
I didn't know you could do that, is it similar to a no-trade clause?"You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: Red Sox Claim Giles off Waivers
He has a partial no trade clause and the sox are in it, so he can do that. Even if the Padres would've just let the Sox have him(like that would ever happen) he could've blocked that because of his no trade clause.Comment

Re: Red Sox Claim Giles off Waivers
I understand that, but Brian is just getting older. Marcus did well in some years in Atlanta; in later years he had obvious holes in his swing that even I could correct. Tweak some of those and put him in Fenway Park, and he'll look like he did in 2003.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Re: Red Sox Claim Giles off Waivers
As much as i don't know why they wanted Brian Giles why would they want Marcus Giles?, it doesn't make any sense. They already have Dustin Pedroia who is second in the AL in hits. Please tell you guys aren't suggesting Marcus Giles is better than Pedroia?.Comment

Re: Red Sox Claim Giles off Waivers
No sir, I wasn't considering any of the other players. I was just saying that, in a park like Fenway, Marcus is better than Brian.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment
