QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 03:24 AM) It'd be nice for a newbie to get a gw hit. Let Wilkins hit for PK

This home plate umpire isn't very good, it seems

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 04:09 AM) That's still scary. I guess he'll be more of the dreaded utility guy. Actually, he's the perfect back-up middle infielder, especially if Johnson is the 2nd baseman

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 04:05 AM) Damn. I had liked what I've seen. Slap hitters disturb me. He's not an extreme slappy guy like Pierre is, but he has 10 career homers in 1860 minor league ABs.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 04:02 AM) I like Sanchez's aggressiveness. Another nice base hit. I really like what I've seen, especially compared to Gordo. You guys agree Sanchez looks like he has a lively bat?? He does not have a lively bat at all. He does a good job of making contact, but he's pretty much a slap hitter.

This game was more exciting when Milone was in for the Twins.

Against RHP, they have to teach Avi to prevent his body from collapsing prior to making contact. Kinda reminds me of Crede's old two strike swing.

Beautiful double by Avi. Not only that, he picked up the 3rd base coach!

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 01:00 AM) I wonder whose is stringer between him and Eaton, especially with Sanchez putting on weight this year. What's crazy is that Eaton hit a homer in the first month, and he really didn't come all that close to hitting another homer the rest of the way. However, he does a good job of pulling the ball down the line for an easy triple.

Noesi seems to throw everything hard. He needs to find a slower breaking pitch to keep hitters off-balanced.

Sanchez hit that ball pretty far as well

Flowers crushed that

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 12:37 AM) Or a healthy Eaton...you could argue for a CFer putting up his numbers, especially if the successful SB's came up even more. It's an interesting argument. Of course, another way of looking at it is whether you would trade Quintana for Eaton OR Avisail Garcia if they were playing on other teams? What about Soler or Bryant? Hello no. Yes to Bryant, possibly Soler

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 12:31 AM) Ehh, 6th or 7th pick is better than 10th or 11th. Yeah, this could be a big series if the Twins sweep

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 2, 2014 -> 10:13 PM) Maybe. He has been with us so far but I wouldn't be shocked if he gets smashed next year if he's in the rotation all year long. He's got to find a way to limit the long ball

Looking sharp tonight...yikes

That's disappointing in an entertainment way.

QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Sep 1, 2014 -> 08:41 PM) The classic rule of trading, buy high, sell low. Which is why I said if he has value left. If other teams believe he's a lost cause, then obviously you keep him and hope for the best. I don't trust the Sox to help him make the necessary adjustments.

Davidson caps off his truly terrible season by striking out to stay under .200. If he has any trade value at all, get rid of him. They have Conor and Semien to handle 3rd going forward.

HR in first at bat

Anderson ended the year above .300 for the full season

Soler is so much more ready than Baez is for the majors. Soler looks a bit like Vlad Guerrero at the plate.

Just got home, looks like an ugly game by Detroit. Meanwhile, can Q avoid the predictable late collapse?

Pretty cool to see so many at bats freed up for Wilkins, Sanchez, Semien and. Mitchell the rest of the way

Former 2012 2nd round pick. Some nice stats in relief this year. Way more than I thought they would get for Dunn.
