Unconfirmed reports are stating that "[the] Red Sox acquired 3B Jack Hannahan from the Mariners for a player to be named later or cash considerations."
I always had high hopes for Jack Hannahan. He, along with Ryan Langerhans, represented a point where I had absolute faith in our front office. Adrian Beltre had just gotten hurt and we really needed a third baseman. No, put your hand down Tui. A real third baseman. Jack Hannahan was that third baseman. A left-handed and patient hitting third baseman to boot. Yeah, he had no power or contact skills but lets not be greedy.
It is only with the joy of the past and no longer hope for the future that I gaze upon this face
Oh Jack...

Goddamnit
All that and he’s a good looking guy too. We need more of those.
the other side - July 22, 2010
We still have some good looking guys...
Ichiro, Guti, RRS,
Cliff, Saunders, Felix, and Branyan isn’t bad either. And Shawn Kelley looks like Leo DiCaprio, so you could probably count him too. Anyone else?SeaKoala - July 22, 2010
Good point, I'm just saying, the way the season is going might as well be as many pretty faces as possible.
And Ackley (I hope soon)
the other side - July 22, 2010
Melenious already jumped ship from Lee to Ackley.
JY - July 22, 2010
Smoak?
Snuffleupagus - July 22, 2010
Shame...I'll miss him.
He is a good player and a good person (well I don’t actually know if he is a good person but he seems like it).
SeaKoala - July 22, 2010
*sadface*
JY - July 22, 2010
Hanners nooooooooooooooooo
appleshampoo - July 22, 2010
Don't get too sad though
If Jack Hannahan gets steady playing time on your team, something has likely gone very wrong.
Edgar for Pres - July 22, 2010
Yet he'd be better than our current 3b and maybe even SS.
abender20 - July 22, 2010
Off the top of my head I can't remember who our 3B is
Seriously. I can’t.
bamfor - July 22, 2010
Lucky.
Fuckmikereilly - July 22, 2010
Oh Lopez. That's cool I guess
bamfor - July 22, 2010
FUCK YOU
Matthew - July 22, 2010
HannahMontanna we hardly knew ye
Robert - July 22, 2010
Hannahan it to the Red Sox. They sure no how to pick winners.
CapSea - July 22, 2010
Man, we got Jacked.
CapSea - July 22, 2010
Not really sad
Wish I had a buck for every time he worked a 3-2 count only to swing through a middle in fastball.
Fat Ichiro - July 22, 2010
do any of you know
what you got in return?
bestbostonsports - July 22, 2010
Money or a PTBNL
SeaKoala - July 22, 2010
ok
PTBL has to be on 40-man, correct?
bestbostonsports - July 22, 2010
No
I don’t remember if the rule is that it can’t be someone currently on the 25-man, or that it can’t be someone currently in the same league as Hannahan.
The Ancient Mariner - July 22, 2010
I'm not sure, I don't think so, but I could be wrong.
SeaKoala - July 22, 2010
ok, thanks!
bestbostonsports - July 22, 2010
No.
A PTBNL can basically be anyone, at any level in the organization, except that the player must change leagues, including minor leagues. Incidentally, I don’t think any of our affiliates share a league with a Red Sox affiliate.
philosofool - July 22, 2010
Not since they moved out of Lancaster.
That was a riot.
JY - July 22, 2010
OK, I knew it was something like that.
The Ancient Mariner - July 22, 2010
I hope we got some capital letters.
You guys aren’t using any of yours it seems.
Eyebrows - July 22, 2010
Hey-oh!!
wyte_lightning - July 22, 2010
PTBNL are all capitals...
I Lick Squirrels - July 23, 2010
This is a sad day.
A LH-hitting utility guy would have been great, especially in Safeco. I still wonder why he wasn’t on the team at all this year.
I Lick Squirrels - July 22, 2010
Because he was injured coming out of spring training, and then hit poorly in AAA.
marc w - July 22, 2010
And an inferior player overperformed for 2 months pushing him out of a job.
Fuckmikereilly - July 22, 2010
A sad day? That's a bit much.
Rudy4three - July 22, 2010
A left-handed hitting, OBP-oriented, defensive whiz utility infielder would be useful on this team.
Hannahan had the potential to be that and did not pan out. Ergo, it is sad.
JY - July 22, 2010
And good news! Tui's still here!
Matthew - July 22, 2010
Hitting .164/.303/.273 for July!
Not even I can pretend to care these days.
JY - July 22, 2010
Where is he playing?
Matthew - July 22, 2010
I believe Tacoma had Carp playing LF instead of him last night.
Slica - July 22, 2010
3B mostly.
LF sometimes. SS once recently (snickers).
JY - July 22, 2010
OBP oriented seems like a bit of an exaggeration to me.
It’s more like he can’t hit for average or power but he can walk, thereby mitigating the effect a little. His 85 wOBA+ ceiling isn’t exactly exciting.
But the point is valid that he can defend well all over the diamond.
I’d like to know what we got for him. Granted, it won’t be much, but at the very least, it seems like a guy who could be a serviceable reliever or utility man?
philosofool - July 22, 2010
A serviceable reliever or utility man at the minor legaue level, in all likelihood.
JY - July 22, 2010
I wish Jack the best
He was a personal favorite and I am sad we won’t get to see him with the m’s again. I remember the game he hit two homers vs. Detroit in Comerica last year. good times.
bagsflyfree - July 22, 2010
I'll miss you, Handyman
Despite the facct that I hardly ever saw you.
Eyeball Kid - July 22, 2010
Not happy about this
I was hoping they’d bring Hannahan up to replace Lopez.
The Ancient Mariner - July 22, 2010
So this pretty much means we're trading for Alex Gordon, I think.
JLC - July 22, 2010
That just makes too much sense.
If there was ever a situation that Gordon could thrive in, it’s Seattle’s 2010-2011.
Not sure what he’s worth, or what we’d be willing to give up for him. A talented high-minors OF and mid-range pitching prospect?
misterjonez - July 22, 2010
I don't like it.
sanford_and_son - July 22, 2010
It's always the good ones that have to die

He
did’nt die dude.
Take a chill pill

Brah, you realize
That
They are poems
Like
W. C. Williams’,
Right?
Decatur - July 23, 2010
William Carlos Williams fucking sucks.
JY - July 23, 2010
NOBODY TELLS ME TO TAKE A CHILL PILL
Dewey N - July 22, 2010
And she didn't even use the apostrophe correctly.
I think we can agree that was a bigger offense.
Eyebrows - July 22, 2010
The title of this post clearly indicates that Jack Hannahan has ceased to exist
JLC - July 22, 2010
I'm surprised it took 90 minutes for someone to mention this
RIP.
HititHere - July 23, 2010

Aaron Campeau - July 23, 2010
We hardly knew ye.
msb - July 22, 2010
Well at least we pissed of the Yankees some more.
I was never super hot for Hannahan, but he’s always found a way to be useful. Even in leaving he finds a way to help out. Congrats on getting back to the bigs and good luck, Jack.
Jon S. - July 22, 2010 via mobile
How exactly did we piss off the Yankees?
Fuckmikereilly - July 22, 2010
The half win he may contribute to the Red Sox this year surely has the Yankees scared..
Rudy4three - July 22, 2010
But he was our super emergency catcher
Remember spring training.
aussie_chop - July 22, 2010
We'll just get Tui to do it.
