Mike Carp明星賽後要求交易：「我很驚訝。我需要上場表現的機會，我想現階段會
有更好的機會。」

「離開冠軍隊很難受，不過我的角色定位又退了一步。」

「紅襪從最爛到最好，又從最好到最爛─而甚麼狀況都沒變。我知道棒球界的運作方
式以及球團的方向─但是這些計畫崩解之後我真的不知道該做甚麼。」

本季只有95 PA

給Carp的壞消息：Cherington曾公開表示不以球員前途為交易考量(那時候在討論
Lavarnway，Cherington表示只有極端情況才會考慮blahblahblah，答案就是no)

Jonny Gomes - 皇家
Andrew Miller - 許多球隊
Jon Lester - 道奇 (但是目前並沒有談得很深入)
牛棚群 - 海盜

28支球隊派球探去看古巴叛逃外野手Rusney Castillo；有球探將他比為Jacoby
Ellsbury, Kenny Lofton, and Brett Gardner

Ken Rosenthal認為紅襪應該交易掉Lester (尤其考量到市場上的大咖投手不多)

Joel Sherman認為紅襪應該以Cano為鑑，不能跟洋基一樣最後落得只能拿一支1s籤；
沒有要續約或重簽的打算的話就要賣掉


6. Peavy on Bochy: “You know I’ll die for that man.”

Peavy背號將改成43號: "I think some pretty good guy wore 44 (here)."

7. 紅襪拉上Allen Webster，取代Peavy的先發位置


8. Rafael Devers登美後.393/.449/.623 (在多明尼加.337/.445/.538)


9. Peavy在42位局數足夠的美聯先發投手中：

ERA 第39；FIP第40

聽說Matt Cain復原狀況不佳


10. Cherington表示從今天到7/31之間的任何動作都是以「迅速建立起15年4月份的戰力」
為目標

12. Cherington重申希望2015年的輪值裡能有Lester；無法確定交易掉即將進入FA的
球員將幫助或排除重新簽回來的可能性
--
Cherington：「FO聆聽任何交易的可能性。」

Farrell：「目前沒有即將完成的交易。」


13. Yaz on Ortiz: 他是比我更厲害的打者

老爹笑著表示"yeah, right."
--
老爹：「我沒辦法打23年。」


14. Cherington談Peavy-Iglesias交易：「再給我一次機會的話我還是會交易。Peavy去
年幫我們拿下冠軍。」

NY Daily News: "Nobody is happier with the latest Lester rumors than the
Yankees who are waiting in the weeds for him to hit the market."

開動囉(o^^o)

Gammons writes neither Lester or Miller will get signed by Thurs. Insinuates
Gomes, Drew, Doubront & Carp are goners.

Edwin Escobar, LHP: Escobar was originally signed by the Texas Rangers out of
Venezuela in 2008. He was traded to the Giants in the spring of 2010, as
compensation allowing the Rangers to keep Rule 5 pick Ben Snyder. Escobar's
breakthrough came in 2012 when he posted a 2.96 ERA with a 122/32 K/BB in 131
innings for Low-A Augusta in the South Atlantic League. He was similarly
effective in 2013 (2.80 ERA, 146/30 K/BB in 129 innings between High-A and
Double-A), but hasn't been able to duplicate this in Triple-A, posting a 5.11
ERA in 111 innings for Fresno this year, albeit with a decent 96/37 K/BB.
He's given up 128 hits and 16 homers.

Escobar is a 6-1, 185 pounder born April 22, 1992. He has a low-90s fastball
and a good changeup, but his breaking ball is inconsistent and he's had
trouble putting hitters away in the Pacific Coast League. He's quite
effective against lefties, holding them to a .188 average this year, but
right-handers read him well and are hitting .336 with 16 homers. He has
enough stuff and command to be a good LOOGY if he can't develop another
weapon to use against right-handers, but it is too soon to give up on him as
a starter in my opinion.

fastball low-90s、good changeup但是變化球不穩定，無法有效解決PCL打者。有效壓制
左打但是被右打電得慘兮兮；若無法順利養成的話應該能當稱職一人左，不過現在放棄他
還太早。

Heath Hembree, RHP: Hembree was selected by the Giants in the fifth round in
2010 from the College of Charleston. He reached Triple-A in 2012 and has
spent the last couple of years refining his command in the PCL, lowering his
ERA from 4.74 in '12 to 4.07 last year to 3.89 this season. He posted a 63/16
K/BB with 31 saves in 55 innings last year and a 46/13 K/BB in 39 innings
with 18 saves in '14. He made his big league debut in '13 and acquitted
himself well, throwing 7.2 shutout innings over nine outings with a 12/2
K/BB. For many teams he would have had a guaranteed bullpen spot in '14 but
the Giants didn't have room for him.

近年在PCL修控球，數據漸漸改善；13年上大聯盟的期間表現還不錯；14沒進巨人牛棚的
原因是人滿了。

Hembree is a 6-4, 215 pound right-hander born January 13, 1989. He is a
prototype relief pitcher with a fastball that hit 97-98 MPH earlier in his
career, although his command is much better when he keeps it at 92-94 and
concentrates on location. He has a good slider and the combination shuts down
right-handed hitters, who are batting just .202 against him this season.
Lefties have better luck (.349) and he'll need to improve that if the Sox
want to use him as a big league closer. As it stands, he should still be a
valuable middle man and he has nothing left to prove in the minors.

生涯早期就能投出97-98 MPH，不過92-94的速度下比較能控制進壘點；配上good slider
可以壓制右打者(本季BA .202)，能否改善對左打的毛病是紅襪能否視他為未來終結者的
關鍵要素。目前能當中段局數的中繼角色，在小聯盟沒啥好練的。

--

交易總評：

Keith Law覺得紅襪虧；Jason Parks不看好Edwin Escobar。

John Sickels覺得是fair trade，各取所需。

Jim Callis和幾位跑紅襪的記者認為以Peavy的表現來說，紅襪賺到。


25. David O'Brien跟Rob Biertempfel都表示Andrew Miller available，前者表示勇士
依然有興趣；後者表示海盜態度積極。


26. 明日先發： Matt Barnes (Paw), Luis Diaz (Por), Pat Light (Sal),
Jason Garcia (Gre), Reed Reilly (Low).
