I know Fangraphs has him as a 40/70 FV for fielding. Not sure when it was last updated. Evidently they think he has a ways to go.

Time to call up Sandlin. He hasn't been much better lately, but I have more confidence in him than Schultz.

Schultz and Hagen Smith both busting will really hurt.

Getz hates Sandlin

You think Getz would give up on him already and sell low?

I don't think it's worth selling low on him yet. Give him some time to try and rebound. We'd be giving up on him way too early.

Ben Peoples sporting a sub-1 WHIP currently. C'mon Getz!

Yeah, didn't it turn out the allegations were bogus? With how damn good he was around the time it happened, I'm surprised he didn't get another shot. He's definitely "unofficially" blackballed.

This is how it should be. Hating on the Cubs is juvenile. They are a Chicago team. I want Chicago to win. Go Sox, go Cubbies.

Can we sign Bauer, or does he still have a suspension to serve?

Yep. He's a better defender than Colson is at this point. Colson has regressed hard defensively as of late.

COLSON DOESN'T MAKE THAT!

I hate to do this Jason - but if it turns out to be significant, you're going to have to turn over your moderating privileges to me as a way to "repent" for cursing Teel.

Another big time win as we take game 1 in the asshole of America (Texas). Offense cranking. Sox shooting for #1 in the AL.

LOL their outfielders are totally choking out there.

Obvious batted ball luck by Acuna - but he's been a lot better since the start of June. Batting over .400 in 17 games now. Would be great if he could be a serviceable sub.

Man, there's nobody I'd rather have up in the clutch than Vargas. He's so freaking good now.

I'm reading it may still need surgery if 50%+ is torn.

Slammin' Sammy Antonacci is a beast

True. I'm reading that even with a partial tear, surgery is typically needed if 50% or more of the tendon is torn.

I've got a bad feeling about it

"There's no room for Jacob Gonzalez!"

Can't they tell if it's a torn Achilles right away basically? Would they be saying it's just an "ankle injury" if they knows its an achilles year?

Worst case a torn Achilles. It looked like it, but they're saying it's an "ankle injury" for now.
