eyebenband Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 The Boston Red Sox have acquired third baseman Danny Valencia from the Minnesota Twins or a minor league outfielder. Minnesota will get Jeremias Pineda, who was playing in Class-A. The deal was announced during the Twins-Red Sox game at Fenway Park on Sunday. Valencia, 27, hit just .198 with two homers and 17 RBIs in 34 games this season. He was assigned to Triple-A Pawtucket. The 21-year old Pineda was hitting .421 with 14 stolen bases in 36 games in the Gulf Coast League this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott M Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 My favorite moments were all the secondhand, off the record reports about the guy running his mouth to the veterans in the clubhouse and the late Dark Star saying he was the most narcissistic athlete he'd ever met. That says a lot when you know the Dark man talked to Randy Moss, Starbury, Favre, etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Amish Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 my favorite was when they recalled nishi to replace danny on the mlb roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick G Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 My favorite moment was when the went to Boston and left him there. Now we just need Plouffe to get healthy so Nishi can keep the bench warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
