QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 04:00 PM) I will say its mostly of what I seen of him offensively in ST up close. He was so unimpressive I walked away shaking my head thinking this guy has no offensive ability whatsoever. Didnt look like he belonged with major leaguers. Mind you, he is a catcher so offense is not as important and it was just a few days of seeing him that I came to this opinion. well, he'll fit right in!

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 02:05 PM) DL. Elbow soreness. jeeze.

what happened to Soto?

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 09:24 PM) To those of you that have been watching, how has Moncada's defense looked at 2B? Good enough. Been wild on some his throws but good range. It's certainly not anything like Micah bad.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 09:20 PM) Holland may actually bring back something decent at the trade deadline...we'll see. Mark I will take lotto tickets for Holland and Shields no problem. An org's top 10-15 range A ball high upside guy. Just need to fill out the system with depth now. The top end talent is there.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 09:20 PM) Yup. His instincts are incredible. He takes over the game when he's one the bases. will be nice to have a guy that is fast and also actually good at baserunning.

Other than the K rate, there's not really a nit to pick with Moncada right now. When he does make contact, which is still plenty, he's lacing the ball.

Avi! Davidson! Holland! Swarzak! Jones! Robertson! ____ hitters didn't do much but the pitching came through! Sox are looking decent so far this year!

Jose has caught two balls in a row!

Robertson on back to back outings is usually trash. We'll see.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 08:51 PM) Omar did a great job that inning yea he did.

Jones pitching around the Jose mistakes.

First real challenge of his Sox managerial career will be sitting down Jose and telling him he's not a 1B.

Here comes the Jones melt down.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 08:39 PM) You simply can't keep hurting the pitchers by letting Abreu play in the field no kidding. Somehow he's worse now then he was his rookie year. That wasn't even a hard play. He just made it look hard.

FFS Jose.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 08:34 PM) Not sure who looks more overmatched by fastballs, Anderson or Abreu At least Jose saw more than 1 pitch that inning and swung the bat like it was a game and not fooling around in the back yard. I've rarely seen a MLB player half ass a swing like TA did there. He is in his head big time. Might need a benching tmr.

WTF kind of swing was that? Swing the f***ing bat like you mean it. Jesus, that would be a benching for most coaches I played for.

Holland looks really good.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Apr 12, 2017 -> 08:03 PM) How much time do you think Hawk spends talking about the game in front of him? Maybe 10% of the time? +1

The two best prospects hawk has ever seen are Strawberry and Eric Davis?

That is what qualifies as a "good jump" for Avi.

I remember when I still loved Jose as a player. Those days are gone.

Might as well juts have some intern run a Hawk soundboard. STRIKE ZONE IS BIGGER ON COLD NIGHTS TALKING POINT ALERT.

did you guys know you don't have to be fast to be a good baserunner?
