Cleveland defense looks awful. Jimenez on the other hand looks great.

That's why they tell you to run em out.

Might be thinking they can unload Castillo on some team desperate for a backup catcher.

No but I'm sure I would like her.

I think they will go with 3 catchers to free up McCann / Collins for DH duties.

Holy crap! Eloy with a great play. Who said he can't play the outfield?

Collins will be here shortly,

That's odd. Cleveland bunts the runner to second and they don't score. Must have gone to the Ricky school of baseball strategy.

When you give up a homer, single & double and get out of it with 1 run you should consider us lucky. Maybe it's a sign.

Well...I hope he got that out of his system.

I agree with you...but as I've pointed out in various places...you have to decide if Abreu & Colome are part of the future. If they are then extend them so we have certainty. If FO deems they are not part of the future there will never be a better time for trade. You do not have to trade for prospects but can often trade for really good players blocked by their current clubs or simply have an oversupply such as Atlanta with pitching or LA with outfielders.

Start your engines.

Tied with Cleveland after tonight. Get er done!

That was easy peezy!

NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

Teams won't be avoiding us because of current record. Anyone can see we are very close to competing for the next five or six years.

Sox tied with Cleveland after tonight's game. Book it!

I disagree!

If the FO agrees with you we will extend Colome and Abreu soon. If they think the window is further out they are massive trade chips not unlike Eaton and Q. We are in the catbird seat IMO.

We also found a top tier catcher for nothing.

Manny can be a starter for Covey.

Neither would I, I'm saying their are highly drafted people who are expendable to some organizations. Some guy is good but blocked, etc. You don't need to settle for some 50-100 crap shot.

Half this board thinks Madrigal is nothing and guys like him are a dime a dozen. Those same people would give a #3 like Madrigal away in a deal for a closer if that stood between winning or not. All of a sudden the thought is that 50-100 is the price. Wait it out...someone will pay up.

He will do better than a 50-100 IMO. Worth his weight in gold to someone in need of just one premium arm.

Colome is not going anywhere for the likes of Narvaez. For someone that views their need for a back of rotation arm to be the missing piece...you can extract a very stiff price. Ask a Cub fan about that.
