His swing is quite long. I fear the same as well.

Abreu needs to stop playing 1st by next year. If he's a team player, he'll take the full time DH role. The guy is an absolute hack at 1st. It's a disservice to our pitchers that he even gets burn there anymore.

Why 3 years? The guy will be lucky to get 1y/12m. I know you love him Greg, but the truth is guys like him just aren't worth much. He's a dime a dozen type player.

Giolito's highschool pitching coach'll fix 'em

He better hit a home run in his first game now or I'm going to be disappointed

It's all part of the rebuild Greg. They gotta go!

Meant Steele Walker. Not sure where my mind is at My bad dawg

Where you at @default? You're missing out

I keep the Abreu criticism to my threads for the most part. You take your garbage to every thread. Sox calling up a former 1st round pick? Sounds exciting for most. For you, an opportunity to bash the rebuild and Hahn

How long until the usual suspects come in here to rain on the parade and tell us how the rebuild is a failure?

You absolutely have to go after Cole or somebody like Wood. No excuses for missing on these guys

Steele Walker with a heck of a day. Guy is definitely one of our best OF prospects

Is Verlander juicing? Dude is having.m a career year at 36. I don't know how he's still going so strong.

@greg775 would be pissed if they traded Alexei and Avi in their peaks for the rebuild

GIVE RICKY THE AWARD THAT HE DESERVES!

They already called up Despaigne

What does JD get in free agency? Aging first basemen haven't been treated kindly in free agency in recent years. I would love to get him. I don't think the contract would be too bad either. Edit: I just checked his contract. I'm not sure that he opts out. Maybe if he gets promises that the contract gets topped.

@Chicago White Sox is moving back to Chicago!

You all poke fun, but there's already been two people giving support to the idea. Not saying I completely agree, but one could make an argument

He's been playing there often lately

Greg has been saying that Ricky deserves manager of the year for the record he has led this ballclub to. They are nearly .500 with a terrible starting staff and some very bad players like Alonso, Wellington. Do you agree with @greg775? Does Ricky deserve manager of the year?

Reminds me of trades I would make in Ken Griffey Jr's slugfest

Yonder Alonso is dogshit. It's embarrassing that the FO can't swallow their pride, admit their mistake and DFA him already. What will come from playing him? Nobody will trade for him. He hurts your team. Skole, Collins, or Palka should be played so we can see what they got. It's just a complete joke.

Did Ricky actually look like manager of the year today? I didn't watch.
