Rendon uses up tons of cash that is better used in my opinion on pitching and right fielder. I understand that people like these so called stars. We're not the Yankees with unlimited resources. Some fans would like a 30 mil per year player and some of us would prefer 3 good players at 10 mil each. Just a different way to use the resources available.

We were told he is the most major league ready hitter in his draft class and would be gold glove caliber right now. Has great stolen bases abilities and his strike outs are practically nonexistent. Teams need guys who can lay down bunts, hit behind the runner, steal a base and catch the ball. The Sox have Jimenez & Abreu who are good power guys but just adequate defensively. Moncada, Anderson & Robert are 5 tool guys and not many teams have 3 of those. Guys like Madrigal will be just as integral to wins as any of the other players I've named. I'll stick with my opinion that two good starters and a right fielder are what is needed for Sox competing for the WS.

I agree it's really strange but surly the Doctors have given the green light. He's a very valuable piece of property and Ricky wouldn't have the authority to override the Docs.

Jose Altuve is 5'6"

Hopefully someday a good one. For what he cost us...needs to be.

You already have Madrigal coming up soon to handle 2nd base for the next 10 years. Forget spending money on what we don't need and spend it on pitching and right field.

As a Sox fan...I wouldn't trade Eloy and Cease for Verlander much less Q.

Curious minds want to know I would imagine.

This game would be huge for the fan interest and momentum of the rebuild.

I could really get use to playing in front of these full houses.?

I like our current third baseman better anyway...and we still have the money to pay for key improvements in starting pitching and right field.

Always be a good winner with your Cub fan friends. The bad karma always comes back to bite you in the ass.

I was with you all the way until " four years at 16 mill a year." I would like to see 2 or 3 years at 10 to 12 mill. At our best we might have 150-175 million to spread around those 25 players. Need to pay fairly but not overpay. Like most players... Jose is a great power & RBI guy but has his shortcomings. Another year at 1st base and another year or two at DH while Vaughn prepares himself. However RH handles it...I think it's an absolute must that Abreu signs an extension or gets traded. He is a good asset and those can't be allowed to just walk away at the end of his contract.

Well one things for sure...we are really good winners.

A lot more will be climbing on the Sox train.

Theo might just look at that...he's a win now kind of guy.

No one is perfect apparently.

That's tomorrows game.?

They could really use Colome but it would cost them dearly.

They only recently started to forget the Lou Brock trade and now this. Gotta love it.

Lot's of guys to give some props tonight. Nova, Garcia, Jimenez, McCann, Marshall, Bummer & Colome all came through. Fry got a big out and Sanchez was throwing leather. Good team win.

Let's not forget that Nova kept us in the game tonight. Had to keep the Cubs and ump at bay.

How great would it be for Giolito to take us back to .500 against the Cubs?

That great Eloy smile reminds me of a Sox HOF great with a contagious smile. Frank and Eloy could have similar careers.

I'll bet we won over a few new fans tonight.
