That Abreu AB burned my eyes. Lunged at terrile pitches, watches strike 3 go right down the middle belt high. Christ he's broken.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 07:27 PM) Great stuff as I've come to expect from FS. So what happens with May? Does May shift to LF or can we expect to see May with the Sox as a 4th outfielder? Don't think his bat or arm profiles well enough to play a corner spot unfortunately. Might be one is the starter and the other is the 4th OFer. Not like Shuck is in either of their ways.

Might be nothing, but it's interesting to note that since starting with WS, Collins has caught twice and DHed twice. Organization might end up moving him quicker than expected aka Schwarber playing time plan (catch a pitcher or two the. DH rest of time).

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 06:53 PM) Jake Peter 1-1 with a double. Came in hitting .276/.338/.414 at AAA after a .304/.378/.407 line at AA. Came in to post about him. Sneaky solid player, might have some decent support coming up between him and Engel. Anyone have reports on his defense?

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) Fulmer, yes. Eaton, I dont have to consider him part of "the core". I am not downplaying Eaton but he isnt untouchable in any way as far as I am concerned. I dont know, if this is the player Eaton is (4-5 win player) in RF, I think he stays pretty untouchable for the near future. If you got an offer that blows your Sox off, then maybe you consider in, but he's been a great leadoff hitter for us and he plays elite defense. Both of those are things this organization has sorely lacked.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) Our core is Sale, Quintana, Rodon, Anderson. Everyone else should be fair game to trade. Lean on your scouting department and go get your next Uribe or Carlos Quentin....damn that was a long time ago. And Eaton and Fulmer

Bregman + McCullers + Tucker

QUOTE (Doc Edwards Shot @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 09:49 AM) Lots of people are calling for dumping Frazier. But then what's the plan for 3B? Don't tell me Saladino, he can't hit enough to be an everyday player. I hated all those years we had garbage at 3B and don't want to go back to them: Connor Gillaspie Gordon Beckham Leury Garcia Marcus Semien Jeff Keppinger Edwardo Escobar Orlando Hudson Brent Morel Mark Teahen Jason Nix Josh Fields Yes, Frazier's batting average is terrible and his OBP is lower than we expected. But he plays reliable defense, provides what little power this team has, and his BA may not always be crap (don't forget that he's adjusting to a new league). At least he's a real major league third baseman and not some half-assed, makeshift player at the position. There has to be something viable to replace Frazier if we trade him. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but outside da dingers this season, Frazier has been pretty bad. He is currently rated 23rd in fWAR for 3B with the second worst defensive score, 4th worst UZR, 6th worst UZR/150 among qualified 3B. Not to mention he has been worth -2 DRS. He has the 2nd worst AVG and OBP among qualified 3B and a wRC+ of 100 which is the definition of league average. In short, while it's fun to look at his home run totals and see what could be, he has kinda been a disaster for the Sox this season.

I wonder what Texas would need to part with Gallo? Q?

I really think you can move Robertson and Frazier and not really mess with the long term picture of this team. What about a guy like Cody Bellinger for Robertson? Dodgers strengthen their bullpen, have a little leverage in a Jensen negotiations this offseason, Burdi can replace Robertson in the pen (probably setting up for Jones), and Bellinger can move Jose to DH. You could try moving Frazier to a team like the Mets too for someone like Brandon Nimmo. Good plate discipline, solid defender in CF, they are probably a little down on him right now.

I would sell Frazier and DRob personally. I think you could get a valuable piece for both and I don't see either in the long term plans.

Whoops wrong thread

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 03:32 PM) Just seems like this has the chance to be an ugly series pitching wise. Would have liked to see Q maybe going on Sunday. Shields and Gonzalez have been our best pitchers over the last 3 weeks, if anything this is shaping up to be a good series pitching wise.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 03:19 PM) Has it been said if he is coming up to start for Rodon? Turner is starting Sunday

5 yrs, $47.5 MM from the Stros

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 12:46 PM) Hahn has talked about this being one way to limit his workload. There's been a few mentions, namely by Law, that he's back to his Vanderbilt mechanics. His changeup has taken a big step forward this year supposedly. The changeup he threw to get his first K at the Futures Game was NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSTTTYYYYYYYYY

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 15, 2016 -> 11:16 AM) Yeah but 9:05 start on a friday? PTTHHHHHPPPP About the only day of the week I dont mind a 9:05 start honestly

Thank God for meaningful baseball again. The last few days absolutely sucked.

Jennings-Duke-Fulmer-Jones-Robertson Nasty

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 10:48 PM) Yup, solid source. Wonder if he'll start for Rodon and then move to the bullpen, or just be a reliever. I think that is definitely the plan

Guerrero and Burdi having nice nights

Collins is supposed to be in WS, but he's not starting for some reason http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20160714

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 12:16 PM) Shuck has been pretty good the last month. Agreed, but there was no way to predict that based on his performance through the April and May

Good thing they didnt plan for this at all in the month he had already been gone.
