I'm not a MLBer obviously but if someone called in off waivers was batting cleanup after batting 220 in AAA I'd kinda question WTF my manager was doing.

so reed comes in and is ahead of eloy now? I mean whatever, rick going to rick.

Yea fuck that. Was listening to some Chicago sports talk radio the other day and a Cubs beat guy said Addison is like a dark cloud hovering over the clubhouse. Shunned by team and media alike. We don't need that and IMO that POS should be out of the league or should have faced a full 162 game ban. Plus he's now dogshit on the field. He has an OPS+ around 80 the last two seasons. Pass.

No catcher can turn water into wine.

moncada and mccann were on fiers and oakland pitching but that was about it. too many easy outs. yolmer has taken a real step back this year and cordell is nothing special just a decent 4th OF. Need TA back asap. To their credit oakland played great defense (including positioning) otherwise the Sox probably have a run or two before the 9th. it's pathetic the org has nobody better than Nova ot eat these innings.

bullshit.

bloop and a blast please.

I'm becoming more sold on mccann.

mercy.

fucking eloy should be up.

james "laser show" McCann

sign moncada for forever.

get healthy tim.

I love moncada.

yikes.

can whoever has the game thread honors start it?

any top 50 guy, gimme number 50. Just not some random A ball guy ranked #90. Closer to MLB ready the better. Any SS out there? We need SS in the system.

good luck getting anything better than white the Sox got in the Yankees deal. I dunno what it is with some fans you guys see what the market is for relievers every damn year! You never, ever get a "haul" for anything but the most elite of the elite and there's like 3-4 of those guys in MLB at any given time which is why they are valuable. Colome and Bummer have combined for 1 WAR! Bummer has a FIP (I'm not using xFIP anymore because I don't believe Fangraphs has it adjusted to the new environment from what their own guy said) of 3.20. Colome has a FIP of 3.99! Look I like them both as Sox players. They have roles to play and are good at locking down the game but they just aren't that valuable relative to what else is out there. Just go look at relievers on Fangraphs. Colome and Bummer are not even close to "elite". Perhaps ironically, for those reasons I'd be inclined to keep both. They have more value here than a back end top 100 guy, which is the absolute most they'd get unless they decided to do something crazy and send a bunch of cash or an actual position player guy, maybe one of their "extra" OF in the high minors.

I do that deal before the dodgers come to their senses. Relievers can be bought and traded for when it matters. That isn't this summer and fall.

correct, it was on a base hit. Obviously a double is worth more and so on.

I believe Tom Tango parsed out that a hit is worth about 10% more on average towards a run than a walk. It's really not much but it does add over 600 PA. That said, not making an out however you manage it is vastly more important.

250/300/500 while making plays in CF, hopefully. Then he can go from there.

anytime ur profile starts with "potential gold glove CF 30/30 guy" that will be hard to top anywhere in baseball. Eloy can hit but obviously he's limited elsewhere. I like'em both.

Fully erect.

There are beer league teams in the Chicagoland area with better hit tools maybe we can fill out the other spots with open tryouts.
