Just to get rid of those two guys, but I see your point.

Abreu unhappy with roster decisions (seems to want Luis Robert up)
greg775 replied to Jose Abreu's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Makes sense. Dombrowski knows a key addition when he sees one. And forget about Jose coming back in free agency. That will not happen. Good for the Red Sox. They get a heckuva addition in Jose. Professional in all ways. He'll be a postseason terror. -

Day of Reckoning is Coming NCAA...

The solution isn't to pay the players. The solution is to be like baseball. If you enroll in college you are not eligible to be drafted for 3 years. This will stop all of the big scandals. There will always be small money under the tables from alumni organizations and such but to will stop all of the major money deals and get the kids out of college who dont want to be there. -
Dont be bringing up players the Sox didn't draft into the safe zone. You are back handedly being negative here.
-
They do. Renteria lead the majors in ejections in 2017.
-
I very much hope Bumgarner signs with the Sox this off-season. He has been terrific this season and seems like as good of a bet as you'll find to age well into his 30's.
-
Can anyone explain what Ricky was arguing about that caused his ejection?
-
Man I wish we had a manager like this who seemed to actually care about his players getting screwed over.

Domingo Santana has cooled quite a bit which helps Jose's value. They need to deal him and if he really wants he can return at a discount in the offseason. -

Phil Rogers tonight is Tweeting that the Red Sox are looking at Jose'. That Dave Dombrowski has "long admired him." Rogers also said Jose' may be the "most impactful bat" on the market if the Sox are willing to deal him but his value as a rental is "limited." -
FS: James Beard and what the White Sox gained
Joshua Strong replied to Rankin's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I’m very intrigued by him. I’m not expecting much from him this year in terms of his stat line. Coming from Mississippi, he probably has never faced talent like this before and he’s very raw. I’m curious to see what instructs does for him. -

I doubt it. Tilson was optioned, not DFA'd. They would need to open another 40-man spot to get him up here. -

God help us all if it’s not Robert and Madrigal he’s referring to. 95% it’s just Luis Robert, though. -
If I decide to do this, I'll probably start August 1 and go through July 31 of next year.

Maybe Mercedes? That guy has been pretty good offensively in his minor career, specifically this year. With shaky defense there are questions there, however, the guy has proven to me that he should be called up at least on the offensive end...but with no call up he must be brutal at catcher...however they keep throwing him there so, so I dunno. Any other pitchers shown any reason to be called up besides some of the dredge we've seen? -
It was a four game series split but that doesn't take away from how bad that DH was.

Without actually hearing his comment and knowing the context its hard to make a judgment out of this. Was his voice angry when he said it? Was it matter-of-fact like? was he being sarcastic? Also what was the reporters question that led to this? But based just on the printed word, it seems he was talking about Robert and possibly Madrigal since the Sox really don't have anybody else worth bringing up and I don't think Sox players really follow the lower minor leagues in the first place. Another thing to consider were his comments from a few weeks ago where he talked about 'if he were the owner, he'd resign him...' Maybe the Sox haven't done much or anything in this direction and he's starting to get frustrated (as well as with the losing...) -
As much as I agree with you that I'd love to see Nova off this team, who exactly do you suggest take his spot? Unfortunately, there really isn't any other options that are remotely capable to match his performance, let alone best him (i.e. Covey, Detwiler, Despaigne, Nicolino, Santiago, Roach, etc.). I think we are stuck with him.
-
Robert keeps proving he's playing a childs game in the minors...
-
So you want to lower the return they get by including dead money in the deal?
-
Yes but was that a four game sweep was my question.

Jose Abreu replied to Jose Abreu's topic in Pale Hose Talk
It's pretty simple to me. He wants to stay and will probably take a cheap deal to do so, but at the same time he's frustrated with how slow the process is, because he knows what it's heading towards and he's getting impatient -

I'm assuming you were being sarcastic but that simply isn't true. 1981-1985, 1990-1994 and 2000-2006 were nice stretches.
