Jose is 17th is wOBA and 14th in wRC+. He's pretty middle of the pack as far as starting 1st basemen go. I don't think any team goes crazy and gives him more than 3y/36m, at most

I missed the play. Did stone hands miss it?

It's still going strong. I'm going to ask Nick in person at an autograph signing and get picture proof

Giolito vs Lester. Let's go! Gio he's revenge today.

Not a bad take. People scoffed at the question. Nicky is destroying AA though. He could be major league ready now TBH

Call me when he's on cash cab and maybe i'll listen

2-4 with a Homer and 2 BBs. That's 26 walks to 18 strikeouts so far. I get that pitchers are wild down there, but this dude is exciting.

There is a reason we kept seeing him at 1st while a better fielding Alonso was the DH. Abreu better settle into that DH role and accept it. His defense will only get worse.

I'll ban bet you that he makes the majors by opening day 2021

Completely agree Greg. Not all trades can be forgotten. That trade may be so absolutely bad that it's an all timer and unforgettable one.

That's actually just greg's account over there

Oooo interesting. I may have to tune into that. They'll have an obvious Sox Homer on the Cubs broadcast. AJ says hawk is the greatest commentator of all time after all

Ev'rybody's talking about OPS, BABIP, bWAR, fWAR, wRC+, wOBA Stat this, stat that, statnik, statnak All we are saying is give Palk-a chance All we are saying is give Palk-a chance

Nobody was seriously calling Heblows trash after 60 ABs though

I'd mention Collins OBP in the minors, but I'm afraid that might be too much of a "new age" statistic for you and you will get all worked up again

Agreed, Eloy needs to stay in the outfield. If Jose is here next year, they need to force him to DH or grab some bench. We can't have his putrid defense out there anymore.

Ricky is foaming at the mouth

I wonder what spurred his comments. Maybe he's been wanting the extension but Sox brass hasn't offered what he wants?

Comparing the Vaughn pick to the Lance Broadway pick... Lol. That's bad.

What to do with him? In the past a lot of people wanted to use him as flip bait. He has been killing it this season and provides very, very good versatility. Do we still try and flip him, keep him until he's a FA, try to extend him?

Thought Rondon was DH. Nvm

Is Rondon our only option? Do we lose our DH due to Ricky's stupid ass lineup?

There's no reason to Target Boyd. This team has been shedding payroll for years with the intent of spending big in FA for holes. Don't trade your prospects yet. If they don't sign a big named pitcher this off-season, the rebuild was destined to fail anyway most likely.

Burdi and Barnum weren't first round picks. Burger's career has been hampered by injuries, and it isn't done yet. Weak ass argument.
