Jose Abreu

"TBA"

There's pretty much no rain between 5-9. I don't know where all the pessimism is coming from

There's a new cell developing but behind it, things look pretty clear. Maybe 4:45 CT start if I had to guess

If we got Manny I’d bet Joc would be in that lineup too. Shame.

Forget my Schwindel prediction. New prediction is Eloy goes 2-2 with 2 homers but the game gets called in the top of the 5th and they end up not counting

Eloy goes 0-4 while Royals 1B Frank Schwindel goes 4-4 with 4 home runs in his MLB debut

To the bunting concerns, for whatever reason, I feel like Ricky is gonna have Moncada bunt much more often this season

I agree with you overall but the Mariners actually have a decent amount of talent on their MLB roster. An offense featuring D. Santana (still can't believe Milwaukee gave him up for so little), Haniger, Encarnacion, Smith, Bruce, Gordon, and dare I say Narvaez, is probably significantly better than ours. Kikuchi and Gonzales should be solid, and while their pitching sucks outside of those two, so does ours.

We're gonna get to the 3 spot in the tank standings, then get the #7 pick while the team that was in the 4 spot gets the #1 pick

Yoan Moncada

@elrockinMT @Chisoxfn I think a sideboard for this by the scoreboard or Future Sox area would really increase the subforum's popularity. Just my opinion

Kanny will be fun for the reasons mentioned in the first post. I'm really excited to follow Bush, Nunez/Sosa, and Zangari over a full season. I'm hopeful that they're a little more aggressive with promoting Zangari to Winston-Salem if he stays healthy

I remember hearing this somewhere. It would make sense given Preller's shady past with medical records

Obviously I can’t know this for sure but I believe Frare would’ve made it over Banuelos if they had to choose. I think that he and Fry will be an excellent lefty reliever pairing for us long-term

@ KC 2-1 @ CLE 0-2 vs. SEA 1-2  vs. TB 1-2  @ NYY 0-3  vs. KC 2-1 @ DET 2-2 @ BAL 2-1 vs. DET 2-1 vs. BAL 2-1 14-16

He's the second best outfielder on the roster, or third depending on whether or not Leury Garcia is being considered as an outfielder

I know this isn't the annual "bold" predictions thread but I'll make some of that nature: -Moncada has a 100 walk season and leads the team in OBP -Eloy misses about half of the season due to a knee injury but puts up a .915 OPS -Giolito ensures that he will not make the 2020 Opening Day roster with his performance -Blake Rutherford has a slugging percentage lower than his on base percentage -Basabe comes back in late May but struggles mightily and never gets in a groove all year -Zack Collins finds his power stroke in Charlotte and puts up monster numbers -Luis Robert is the #1 prospect in all of baseball by the end of the year

68-94

Matt Lisle, your table is ready

Yup. I believe he has the highest ceiling of any player in the organization and it isn't particularly close.
