Jose Abreu

@Chicago White Sox please never title a game thread in this format ever again.

It's Stroman! Gotta give him a chance to go deep against his rival

But can he check the boxes on the road? (yes I know they're on the road)

While I disagree that they should be promoted due to boredom (they should be promtoed because they are ready and it’s likely best for their development), posts like this are gonna look pretty foolish when the new CBA completely changes the service time rules.

Fegan is good but is sometimes too overly pessimistic for my liking. Either way, at least he puts out a lot of content. I agree that NBCSC does a good job even if they may be overly optimistic. I'm just waiting for someone to be in between!

Lol, of all teams....

Good. I want to see force ghost Anakin

And by out, do you mean to the Majors? And by someone, do you mean Eloy?

So now he's at AAA but they have like 68 outfielders

Delmonico

335./.387/.602 to be exact. Good for a .989 OPS

Here's an idea for the outfield: Engel to AAA, Eloy to MLB Then the question becomes who plays CF, as only Leury is capable So then you move Cordell to MLB (bound to happen sooner or later) and option Palka or Delmonico to AAA. Suddenly you have an outfield of Jimenez, Cordell/Leury, and Avi, with one of Leury/Cordell off the bench and one of Palka/Delmonico able to fill in at LF/DH

When do you think Kopech would pitch? Tuesday?

As the trash (Engel, Thompson, Volstad, etc) continues to exit the roster, that will also have a substantial effect. Even with no FA acquisitions, if we can stay relatively healthy, I see us winning 73-83 games next year.

Strasburg got 7/175 though. I love Rodon but I'm not even considering anything more than 5/80 or so right now if I'm Hahn.

You're also assuming no major FA signings. 2019 is not out of the question (for a .500 or better season) if we make some major signings this offseason.

While I'm against moving Moncada/Anderson from their current positions, there's pretty much no downside to letting them learn CF as a backup position like we apparently are doing with Yolmer. I think both of them would be able to field adequately out there.

I hope Ryan Burr and Jose Ruiz take the open bullpen spots in AAA. They are due for promotions

deGrom, Syndergaard, Archer
