QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 10:27 AM) CF Leury 2B Moncada RF Avi 1B Abreu LF Delmonico DH Davidson SS Anderson C Smith 3B Sanchez P Rodon Rotation: Shields, Lopez, Giolito, VET FA Bench: C Narvaez, 1B/3B/SS/LF/RF Cordell, INF Saladino, OF Willy Garcia Next Guys Up: 2B/3B/LF Peter, Utility Hanson, P Fulmer, OF Liriano, P Danish 'Pen: Jones, Petricka, Putnam, Bummer, Minaya, Purke, Clarke Some of these guys like Willy, Saladino, Hanson, Smith won't survive a 40 man pair down. I'd be pretty surprised if one of the four isn't DFA. Otherwise, that lineup looks good just replace Davidson with The bessssssssss in July.

James Shields thinks the ball is juiced I can tell ya that.

Beep Beep! Nice to have some speed on the roster.

He honestly is starting to remind me of Dunn. In good ways and bad, at the plate.

Moncada has some really great takes on off speed stuff low.

James Shields has good stuff tonight through one. Haven't said that very often.

TA looks like a big nerd in those glasses.

Wow, I had a family member go through similar and 45 days sounds about right just to get back into everyday life without the drug. Adderall is a serious f***ing drug that is way over prescribed, especially to teens. Good job Delmonico.

FWIW B-REF has Moncada as the perfectly average player so far. He's been slightly below average with the bat, slightly above average with the glove, and he's 4 runs above replacement and at exactly zero wins above average. It's been far from a disastrous start, despite the batting average.

Leury is such a clown at times.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 09:09 PM) Jimenez double The Machine and the bessssssss

Wow, beautiful fastball. Almost wonder if that was planned to shake off 4 times then throw the heater. Nice.

Giolito looks like a guy that is going to pitch his best "effectively wild".

Critical offseason for TA. He needs to work his ass off.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 07:59 PM) Have you followed Engel throughout the minors? He has a very limited track record of success with the bat and is known for constantly tweaking things. I don't see him suddenly making the necessary adjustments to become an effective major league hitter. His plate appearances this season have only further cemented that opinion for me. There is nothing in his profile other than "4th OF" -- without a massive, highly unlikely improvement with the bat. You are 100% correct.

Come on delmonico, that wasn't even close.

now that is a f***ing baltimore chop, great hustle Jose.

He's heating up!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 07:47 PM) Engel really isn't a MLB player unless he makes drastic, and I mean really drastic, strides at the plate. I don't get why people are penciling into the starting outfield next year over guys like Leury, Willy (who have actually shown flashes of being good MLB hitters), Cordell, etc. His defense is great but that means nothing if your OPS is in the .500s bingo.

STOP f***ING BUNTING

Keep that trade value rising, Avi.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 07:31 PM) Moncada's speed got us a run pretty much.

Now that is the Yoan Moncada experience. Wow.

We need some good framing catchers ASAP. Catch the f***ing ball.

Helluva play from Moncada.
