Knowing who the Sox owner is, I see Abreu being around for as long as he wants... Jerry loves him and he loves Jerry. He will get the Paul Konerko treatment.

I certainly don't want to trade him. Where does he play on this team when Eloy comes back? I forgot that you get offended at the idea of trading Vaughn or Madrigal.

You willing to make a monetary bet and/or ban bet that he'll keep it up?

Gordon's swing was much longer than Yermin's. I'm confident Yermin will keep this up.

I wonder if a player like him benefited more from the aluminum bats than others. Obviously most do, but that slight increase in power must have done wonders for him.

Cmon, look at Yermin play. He's smart at the plate, has a quick swing, great eye, and shortens his swing to make contact with 2 strikes. The dude is here to stay.

@Ranger where you at?! Lol, I just viewed his profile. Apparently Rongey is greg's idol

Sooo, it appears that Yermin is legitimate. "But Ron, it's too early to declare Yermin legitimate." Wrong. I've been on the Yermin bandwagon as long as anybody. I was one of the first to identify his talents. He is here to stay. He has a great approach, he shortens his swing with 2 strikes but still crushes the ball, and he has a fast bat. The dude is going to stay. When Eloy comes back, there will be a bit if a logjam. Assuming Eloy is back next year, what do the Sox do? Abreu will be under contract for another year, and likely will get resigned. Do the Sox use Vaughn as a trade chip? They could attempt to trot out Eloy-Robert-Vaughn in the OF. The lineup would be absolutely ridiculous, but the defense would suffer. Imagine this lineup though... Timmy Moncada Abreu Eloy Vaughn Yermin Grandal/Collins Robert Madrigal Obviously you can change it around. Very right handed heavy, but lefties would get absolutely demolished. Maybe the Sox flip Vaughn I'm a trade for a lefty OF or pitcher? Who knows. Ideas?

670 has gotten so bad that I've been forced over to 1000. They never take calls on 670 now a days. Bernstein isn't as good as he used to be. Holmes is awful. Spiegel I actually like. Kap and Hood is better than anything on 670 now a days.

does Mendick's stance remind anybody else of Magglio's stance? Or maybe I'm thinking Avi?

Definitely a busch light (or heavy) guy

Lynn might be able to go the distance

Pog!

Multiple hickies, from multiple different women

So... Eloy-Robert-Vaughn OF?

@chitownsportsfan whips his remote at the TV after that pun

Nellie Fox reference. Somewhere, the dude with the Madrigal avatar smiled

Jose knows he has a job here for life

Robert has made strides this year.

What happens if Yermin doesn't stop hitting? Do we see an Eloy-Robert-Vaughn OF?

Yermin has Joe Borchard power

Not many better 1-2 punches than Giolito and Lynn come playoff time.

You keep saying this, but it ain't right chief.

Good thing we saved Hendriks until now. What a joke

Bummer at 93 mph on first pitch... Anybody else concerned?
