It's either because they were winning too much or that lame ass nickname (or lack thereof) on his players weekend uniform.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 26, 2017 -> 10:03 AM) It's not to that extent. Tests showed multiple "cracks" for lack of a better word in White's tibia. This is why the surgery was necessary. Moncada's didn't show any of these by all reports. Man, that sounds awful. Are stress breaks like that typically due to genetics?

I'm not liking the sound of this. Definitely has kevin white vibes.

I'm still on the overwatch train. God that game is so f***ing addicting and good.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 25, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) The fact that you are using batting average to make your argument tells me everything I need to know The fact that you think batting average means nothing when evaluating a prospect tells me everything I need to know. I guess that fact that he has an abysmal contact rate against guys in A ball means nothing.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 25, 2017 -> 08:42 AM) You are likely the only one Sure bro. Collins' robust .220 batting average is why everybody has him ranked higher than Seby.

SebZev with a hr, single, and walk. The dude is legit. I've got him above Collins no doubt.

Burger hits for the cycle

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 24, 2017 -> 08:52 PM) Any indication as to why? They're saying he's suffering from medial tibial stress syndrome. Hope he is OK.

You win, Jose. I was wrong about you. I thought you had a great rookie year, but I thought the league adjusted to you after your rookie campaign. Year 2 and 3 were meh imo, but you have cranked it up this year. I can't knock you anymore.

All I'm saying is Yoan needs to step it up. You see rookies coming up and mashing now a days, and the #1 prospect in baseball is looking like trash in his second stint up here. Step it the hell up Moncada.

I wonder if the sox will send Collins or SebZev to the AFL. SebZev has been murdering the ball I'm high A. Loving it.

Say the sox light the world on fire and make the playoffs next year. You have a problem with his inning count. That would suck.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 08:38 PM) Where are Rutherford and Robert? They haven't played in a while Robert has been getting Dominican witchdoctor voodoo treatment on his foot, so who knows when he will return. Rutherford is also injured I believe

Damnit Jose....

I really hope this means Hansen to AA

Who's the young guy some people think will be ready to run by 2024? Saw him mentioned here before.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 07:48 AM) Classy comment, Wite. Real classy. Did you learn responses like this in Moderator School?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 18, 2017 -> 05:38 AM) Jose Abreu is pretty damn awesome. Him as the DH on the next contending team just makes way too much sense, it's impossible not to respect him. Will his production be there at that age though? I'm not too sure about that. The way it's going, Nicky D will be a superior hitter at that point imo. Maybe he'll be a coach by then. I think Jose will be a lifetime sox though. He will have a job with the organization whenever he wants. Kudos to him for being a grade A human being

Moncada hr!! I think somebody should eat crow about a certain player that he judged too harshly.

The dude is putting up an 800 ops season while playing great defense in CF ( according to advanced metrics), and he can play all OF and infield positions. He has 3 years of control left after this year. Does Hahn work his magic and try for a team friendly extension? Do they try and flip him in the off-season/next year? Both? The guy is looking like a 3 WAR supersub. I'm not sure how to accurately value the versatility provided by a supersub, but it is quite a valuable asset.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 16, 2017 -> 12:49 PM) I had Zavala on my midseason list but this is craziness. He went from underrated to overrated pretty quickly. He's 24 years old at High A and there's definite concern that he's not a major league catcher. He can hit but in no universe is he the caliber of prospect that Zack Collins is. These things aren't mutually exclusive. Every time Collins gets mentioned, Zavala doesn't need to be brought up. They will likely share time in Birmingham next year as well. Zavala is 23 actually
