Jose Abreu

Wow, his movement on these 2 seamers is unreal

Kopech, Rodon, Cease, Dunning, Giolito

The metrics don't like him because he can't throw a baseball. He's great with range and speed out there but I personally like the fact that the metrics also care about his arm, as it's a good reminder that he isn't quite elite defensively

I know you've since changed your stance but it's still hilarious that Tim Anderson "sucks" yet you think Eduardo Nunez is good

That was my takeaway.

Why are people acting like a .291 OBP and .709 OPS are a .250 OBP and .650 OPS? Average offensive production + plus defensive production + plus baserunning value = very good player, especially at shortstop. It's really not that hard to understand.

Worth it. At least it isn't Shields and a bunch of vets leading us to most of these wins. With LaMarre today being an exception

I sure hope he didn't bet the house again.

Jose Rondon should be given a serious look at third base in September, as I think he has the chance to be better there as a starter than Yolmer.

Perfect, by using Fry, Ricky has given himself an excuse to use Minaya and Gomez tomorrow instead of Burr or Vieira

Davidson has just looked so lost since April. Can't wait until he's not taking ABs anymore. Honestly, Rondon should be getting his 3B/DH ABs now anyway.

Because of one good start?

Great outing Reynaldo. Now please use Burr or Vieira instead of Minaya or Gomez, for once

"Why would they trade for Abreu when they have Greg Bird??" Granted, Abreu is on the DL right now, but the idea that Bird isn't worth upgrading was funny to me

Lopez will go 7, Minaya gets the 8th and 9th (and coughs up the lead), meanwhile Burr and Vieira collect so much dust just sitting down for most of 8 days that they become unrecognizable

Following tonight's game, the New York Yankees have acquired OF Ryan LaMarre from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named later.

I think he'd be best suited for your Soxtalk group located under your username on your posts

100 MPH EV, 405 feet on Moncada's flyout

Moncada from the right side has looked decent lately

Really don't get all the negativity. He allowed some hard contact in the 1st and 2nd but this has been a good start. That inning wasn't his fault with the defense he received. More swings and misses than he's had in awhile, and a lot on the offspeed. Speaking of the offspeed, the command of it has been incredible.

Example 2755283239 of why errors are a meaningless stat. If no play is made on the ball, they can't rule an error.

For all the crap Abreu gets for his defense, he's still a hell of a lot better out there than any other 1B on our roster.

Santiago warming up

This reminds me of the people who always demand a catcher who's good at framing, good at throwing runners out, good at handling a staff, and good at offense. They act as if we should easily find this player and it's our scouting department's fault for not coming up with him. Yet, there are like, 1-2 catchers who fit all those requirements in all of baseball. Anderson is the least of our problems. You can pencil him in as the #9 hitter on a good team at shortstop and call it a win, especially with what he's getting paid.
