Putnam has given up a ton of homers this year it seems

Start giving some of Melky's at bats to the young guys. His garbage season is ending like it started.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 12, 2015 -> 02:53 AM) He came up at age 21. Allegedly

Wow Nate can't keep ball in the park

EJ out... Go bonkers Twins

Crazy Eaton power

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Sep 12, 2015 -> 12:04 AM) He ought to get there. Really impressive stuff. More impressive for Pujols, who did so as an actual rookie. Let's be honest, Abreu is in his prime. Abreu might have been younger in his rookie year than Pujols

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 12, 2015 -> 01:07 AM) Bah humbug. I have no idea how this is a 1-0 game. Johnson looks awful

This starter for the Phillies has some horrific numbers. This is like a mlb team vs ncaa team

That slider of Johnson's is awful. Can't be hanging it so much

Nice power for Micah

Ump seems to be squeezing hell out of Johnson

Ha no Trayce

It's amazing how much the Brewers own the Pirates. Both Cardinals and Pirates look god awful of late.

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 10, 2015 -> 02:56 PM) and for a long time, they drafted players who they can sign, and forgot about players who had certain agents, those that may wanted a better salary etc..... that has stop b/c of the salary cap but still they still need to be aggressive in their scouting and players/prospects. Boras has very little leverage left with regards to the draft. He tried to get Hahn not to draft Boras according to one report, and as we saw....hahn called his bluff.

Trayce was always incredibly streaky in the minors. Nice to see him bounce back quickly from 15 or so poor outcomes with a good week.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Sep 10, 2015 -> 03:42 AM) I agree - they won't. He is the 2nd to best hitter, but he's not that great of a hitter. As for cost controlled - well, you'd get the value of cost-control back in trade. Have to trade something to get something. It would also be a sell=high opportunity, something that the Sox don't do. From what I've seen, if Trayce is part of this team, he should be in CF. Eaton should be in left. I went back and looked at Trayce's highlights over a few days. Swing looks pretty tight to me. Of course all I'm seeing is his hits. Even in a majority of the at bats he's made outs in, he has showed good plate discipline and put a good swing on the ball. His balance at the plate has been fantastic

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 10, 2015 -> 03:31 AM) I see your point (not just yours, but everyone who is respectfully disagreeing with me), but I find it unlikely that you guys won't miss baseball this winter. Nope college basketball will keep me plenty entertained.

That's a great loss

Great swings by Avi and Trayce

Impressive... Give Montas the 9th

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Sep 10, 2015 -> 02:32 AM) One thing stone has brought up is that at every level Carlos was the youngest guy. Took him time to adjust. Honestly would like to see him at SS and Micah at second. I worry about his arm strength and agility at SS.

Carlos Sanchez just isn't a big league hitter. Needs to find a way to avoid so many weak ground balls

Eric Cooper continues to be a disgrace. No clue how he was picked for WS last year

Love how he gives himself a chance to be dangerous. If Avi had his approach he would be a star.
