QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 14, 2014 -> 04:04 AM) Viciedo has 21 HRs this year, but if you translate it with everyday ABs, he'd have 24/25 As it stands, he's tied for 18th in the AL

I truly believe Viciedo should be back next year, as this team needs as much power as it can get.

Some cheap homers tonight.

The difference in BC's run defense from last week to this week is insane

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 14, 2014 -> 03:52 AM) I wonder if Tank will be a star with the Orioles or somebody next year. It's possible, but you can't fault the Sox if he does

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 14, 2014 -> 02:43 AM) Baez and alcantara both with nine homers.....soler's isn't playing very much....seem to be overly cautious with him Out for the wknd, wife giving birth

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 14, 2014 -> 03:41 AM) In the draft pick race, this is a good one to lose anyway. It's not like a starting pitcher is getting screwed. It would be the perfect "tank" loss. Abreu, Avi and Semien all played well.

Leury Garcia has an OPS near .250 since the ASB

Avi trying to boost his value for fantasy projections heading into next season

Didn't know Semien had that type of power...just missed a line drive home run.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 13, 2014 -> 09:49 PM) It is also a game that was scheduled with less than a days notice. Of course...I'm also not sure if the hitters on both teams got the notice.

This is as empty as I've seen the park in a long time

If story is true and pics are legit, I can't see how the Vikings keep him. NFL should suspend him indefinitely.

Nice last two games with the core guys performing well....now stop winning

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 09:22 PM) I am surprised Coop wouldn't be the one calling that shots. I'm extremely dissapointed at this. I trust Hahn to make the right choices from a business point of view. Maybe Hahn wants Rodon to be shut down for a few months, including side sessions.

It's depressing to see how bad Rose looks.

So why does Felix deserve the Cy Young over Sale? To me, Sale's numbers look better pitching in a much better hitting park.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 03:14 AM) Well f*** If score holds, still 3.5 up for protected?

Good for Avi!

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 03:06 AM) Draft pick be damned, give me RBI 100, 101, and 102. He isn't even close to hitting breaking pitches of late. For as great of a season as he's had, it's disappointing to see his power completely disappear after the ASB

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 02:37 AM) Avi "6-3" Garcia Best trade chip on the roster this offseason

Hawk saying the Sox should try to get Samardzija for next year. Does he know he's not a FA? Trading for him this offseason would be incredibly stupid, unless you know he'll sign an extension.

With only a few weeks left in the year, am I the only one that feels this MLB season has sucked? The most covered stories in the media seem to be Jeter's retirement and the collision rule at home. No record breaking statistics, etc. this year to get intrigued by.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 03:14 AM) A quick glance at the standings shows the Sox and Cubs within a half a game of each other. I didn't realize it was that close. What's scary is that the Cubs have a deep system and talent being added to what they've got...the Sox, well, don't outside Rodon at this point. For as "far off" as the Cubs are with this "long rebuild," I'm really not sure the Sox are any closer to the playoffs, and they haven't accomplished anything (playoffs) in the same time frame as this Cubs rebuild anyway. Regardless of what both fan bases think, neither team is close to playoff caliber. 2016 is much more realistic time frame for both.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 02:22 AM) Bassitt showed the ability to recover from his rough introduction. Might not be ready at the start of next season, but he's got a chance to be a useful piece. He looked better to me tonight than Erik Johnson did last year.
