Jose Abreu

https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/white-sox/white-sox-exercising-double-patience-top-prospects It's like whenever the front office says something about him, he hits even more Edit- Another hit since this post. .396 average now

But not good enough.

Wow.

Look at his AAA numbers this year.

That's true, but I was getting at batting average/errors versus WAR/DRS/range stats

Same. I knew about Brett Myers but just learned about Castro. Not good.

He's the most overrated pitcher in baseball IMO. I would've said Sonny Gray before, but now people realize that he's not good

But instead, they'll do things such as give $150 million to the worst first baseman in baseball.

Good luck, I would say. But yeah, if Chapman can be had for what he netted, and then have people completely forget about his past and eventually sign for $90 mil, I guess anything can happen

in terms of highest ceiling players, I'd take our farm system without question. In terms of safest bet systems (for solid MLB regulars), I'd take the Padres without question.

Deal fell through

Per sources, he was joined in this activity by Michael Kopech.

Any additional thoughts/observations on Eloy?

I like Sanchez but he shouldn't be playing every single day. Re: Moncada, he was good today so I don't get the timing of that one

Not really. The bullpen prospects are actually likely the best of our whole system, collectively. One bad game, in which only one of the relievers who pitched will be here next year, doesn't change that.

Seems like he fixed his walk issues this year

Anderson

He's a defense-first catcher.
