ABREU! WOW

soto is good, despite his fuckup last night.

couldn't get that one! he gawn!

how did he get a piece of that.

he gawn!

man he's making him work.

i love foster.

eloy has too many really bad at bats.

yoan looks like he's about to keel over anytime he has to run, jeeze.

yep good comp.

electric debut!

collins looks pretty damn cromulent back there.

looked like a good catch.

that was nasty. gotta barrel up his FB.

our guys are taking some good rips of the future off "the future ace of the Tigers".

you fucking moron.

mize is yanking his shit now, all off balance.

OK MAZARA I SEE YOU!

you can't make three mistakes down the middle to a pro like EE!

A solid 4th starter with good run on his fastball but not overpowering stuff. That's my impression after the first two innings, hell maybe even make that 3rd starter,k id looks good.

Dunning is what they thought fucking Covey was.

lol what city was he talking about? Seattle?

I was just comparing their overall value, even tho they will get to 2 WAR in different ways. Eloy was so highly rated because guys that can ISO 300 and hit 300 are the rarest of breeds. So far he's more of a guy that hits 250 with 40 bombs. Anyways I need to calm down a bit it's been a stressful week for me (mom had surgery among other things) and we're all here because we love the Sox.

Yikes. If you want me to make it simpler I will: an eloy that slashes 250/310/550 is functionally equivalent to what Avi contributed. Man I swear some of you guys try and play "gotchas" when it's you getting got. My point of course of the Fangraphs "trade value" column, and I've made this for awhile is that projected WAR is not at all how MLB GMs evaluate trades. It's a component sure, but it's not even close to the main one, and it's almost ALL FGs uses in their rankings. Look at the fat, out of shape and sloppy and oh by the way isn't hitting Vlad Jr and tell me he's more valuable at this moment than TA around MLB. With a straight face? Come on fangraphs.

He has the quickest top hand action in the league right now, it's not even close. He was up there like he was in batting practice.
