Jose has been so freaking awful lately. He effectively killed his trade value once again. He flat out doesn't deserve to be an all star.

Pretty disappointed lenyn Sosa isn't an SS anymore, apparently.

Do you get significantly more enjoyment if a team is a 70 win team vs a 60 win team?

You still didn't disprove what I said. Your hero worshipping of Abreu is disturbing. He could be batting .100 and you would sign him for 50m a year.

So he isn't a worse 1st half player? You know, the time when a player can help his team in a playoff race and/or build his trade value for a midseason trade to a contender

Go take a look at his 1st half vs 2nd half stats. He is regularly a worse 1st half player. You can't argue otherwise.

^ The dude responded to me 4 times within an hour in 1 thread last night and he's living in my head. I'm going to have to evict him and get a restraining order on him.

Based on your recent posts, I would say this is accurate.

Considering Jose had his predictably worse 1st half of the season, I think we can kill the idea of him having any decent trade value. His OPS is below .800 at this point. For a guy in the wrong side of 30, I don't see any team giving up much of value for him. It a frustrating his stats are always clearly worse in the 1st half of the season. Does nothing but tank his trade value.

So they are living off reputation at this point? Perfect. That's what kept Ozzie employed for far too long.

Thank you. They all work together and need to collectively step it the hell up.

While I was joking about Sosa, it is Herm's staff top to bottom.

Sosa injured now too. Get Herm and the medical staff the hell out of here

Trust me. Since this thread was made Covey went down and dunning blew out his elbow. OP is bad luck.

This may go down as the worst thread in soxtalk history

Lenny Sosa left the game after 2 at bats. Hope he is ok.

Take a look at his clutch stats on fangraphs and get back to me.

Jose is the poster boy for performing better when the team is out and no pressure is on. He loves playing for a team with no expectations.

Really hope eloy stays down until next year. Keep him and kopech down until the next super 2 deadline

Whichever team can offer ozzie Guillen on a lifetime managing contract and an authentic Alex Rios voodoo doll would get Jose Abreu and the sox top 3 prospects

Whatever seems reasonable to greg

You can count on Southsider to micro analyze everything and be smug/miserable while doing so

You've quoted me on Abreu about 10 times this past week. I get you're obsessed but you're going to have to wine and dine me first sir. Also, since we have just way too much pitching, we better target positional players amirite?

Do you really think Greg has any idea who those players are? Not to be rude but his understanding of the game is very limited and has reached its ceiling.

Agreed. People here overrate the hell out of him. I'd like to wait for the right package, but his value is limited.
