Jose Abreu

Aside from that walk, rough game for Yoan

QUOTE (Quin @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 09:10 PM) Schwarber-esque right there. Schwarber would've tripped and fallen over much further from the ball

Not to mention Moncada is already one of the best defensive 2B in the game. A .750 OPS to go with that is a very valuable player- and that number will most likely go up throughout his career

Engel's throw on that... good lord that was bad

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 08:53 PM) both really. https://www.mlb.com/news/statcast-introduce...017/c-217802340 Thanks. And I see your point- if Engel is gonna be a complete liability offensively, he needs to make 4 star grabs.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 08:51 PM) And where did you get 100 extra OPS? Is he gonna hit 20 more home runs than I gave him? Remember, I was generous on his BABIP, so .740 is lucky. Not likely. I still don't know why you think he's gonna be a worse hitter than he was last year

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 08:48 PM) catch probability 41% on that engel drop so no, it really wasn't an extraordinary play. It wasn't routine. It was a play, as I said, that an "elite fielding", light hitting starting MLB CF needs to make more often than not. And credit Engel, he knows it, you could see it on his face. Does catch probability on a fly ball take into account shifts/where the fielder starts at, or is it purely based on batted ball stats?

A .740 OPS? He's gonna regress from last year, huh?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 06:57 PM) I really don’t like Davidson batting cleanup. I’m simply not a believer. Even if I were one, he profiles as more of a 6 hitter. Having him at 4 just kills rallies

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 06:42 PM) ah this year... Yeah, that's what I said. That 1-2 pitch from MiGo would've been a strike for Happ.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 06:40 PM) that's gotta be against RH. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/...ar=2018&t=b

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 06:37 PM) Moncada still looks like he has no chance batting righty .286/.375/.429 as a RH this year entering today. Small sample size? Of course. Bigger sample size than yours? Yes.

Hope Nicky proves to the team that he can hit LHP, even though the numbers already show that

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 06:14 PM) Christ Happ is nailing the corners. But they're all out of the zone

Very wide strike zone tonight. Hope it goes both ways

RIP to Donaldson's yips

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 01:14 PM) He not only sucks but trading our best bullpen man (David Robertson) for him was nuts. Is there anybody in this bullpen as good as Robertson? Jones. And Kahnle had more trade value than Robertson due to the team control

Tim Anderson

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 09:25 PM) Why are we worried about it at this stage? For a couple of other washouts signed on MiLB deals? Meh. Those washouts are at least younger and more appealing (Gomez due to past success, Rondon due to his fastball). Farquhar doesn't serve a purpose

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 09:14 PM) And Charlotte is loaded with experienced arms to replace him. I personally wouldn't give up on him yet, but to each their own. Why? He's 31 and a known commodity. Won't be here long term, zero trade value. He's another Tyler Clippard. I'd prefer someone with the upside of Gomez or Rondon who, possibly, could at least get an AJ Puckett type at the deadline

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:57 PM) Farquhar must be good with the youngsters. If he does help them, he is worth keeping around, but garbage time should be more his slot. Yeah, would've liked to see Infante, Minaya, or Soria there

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:47 PM) I think you can ask for the Eaton deal, but you might not get it. They did ask for the Eaton deal, and that's why he's still on the White Sox

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:31 PM) Well, I've heard Ricky's boys don't quit. This would be a nice time for them to prove it. I mean, they also proved it the last two games haha

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 08:31 PM) Isn’t Jones the SU man? He's the closer/guy who faces the heart of the order
