Jose Abreu

From how he's talked to reporters this season (ex: "see you in Chicago soon" a month or two ago), I don't think he cares about that, and I'd guess that the "I don't really know" was legitimate

It was a good article. If he can go through a Davidson-esque patience revolution in the offseason then maybe he could be a good DH. You can't teach that exit velocity.

Luckily the defensive part is an easy fix, and the stuff he does well is stuff you can't really teach. And he has looked infinitely better against lefties as the season has gone on

Moncada was consensus top 3 when we got him as Tatis is now.

Chicago is a great city, and [insert FA here] gets to play with Moncada/Jimenez/Robert/Madrigal etc... I don't get it. We have top prospects too.

Lol, Moncada gets walked and stays in the box for a couple seconds because he's so used to garbage pitches being called strikes

Eric Hosmer signed with the Padres in December because they offered him the most money. The Padres haven't made the playoffs since 2006. It's all about the money for most of these guys

Seriously, I'm so tired of every thread getting bogged down by the same 3-4 posters, "old man yells at cloud" nonsense. We get it, you guys hate the White Sox front office and every decision they make, but you don't need to derail every. single. conversation. to make your opinion heard.

Yeah I'm not as mad about that one, although it is quite annoying that a skill (zone recognition) is being robbed unfairly so often this year

Dead ball since he got hit by the pitch. But since he swung at the HBP ball it's an automatic out with no drop third strike

I seriously don't know what game you're watching tonight pal. It's as if you're watching some game from June that you recorded and posting here like it's live

Let's stop running on Salvy, thanks

Because it's the 3rd inning, he has thrown 46 pitches, and he has allowed 0 runs

Benetti is really talking up the Whit Merrifield "gamer, grindy grinder" stuff, lol. Sounds a lot like Madrigal to be honest

If it were that serious then they would've traded Sale immediately (it happened in mid-July) IMO

Covey sure is having an inning right now

The Middle Infield Game

Wasn't it said that he would be assigned to Winston-Salem, with stops along the way? Making this an "unofficial" rehab stint, I guess?

Eloy: "I don't really know" [what boxes need to be checked]

Good point. And he does go to Charlotte with some regularity. I'll assume it's a coincidence that it also happens to be an off day for Eloy.

*resume eyeball emojis*

Does this mean anything?

moncada

I'm glad you guys are getting your laughs but that's not what we're arguing. About 72 games (for this season and some of next April) times about 4.2 PA/G (White Sox hitters average 4.15 PA/G, and since Jimenez would likely bat somewhere 3-5, he would average more. I'm being generous by only adding the .05) is 303 PAs that Jimenez is not getting at the MLB level. He's not gonna be a bust or bad player because he isn't getting that experience, but he also is not getting any better by not getting that experience. It's a significant amount of playing time.

Why is Nick Madrigal still in Kanny? This is pretty long for a rehab stint
