The others: Al Simmons, Albert Pujols, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio Getting to 100 RBIs would also make him one of 4 players to have 100+ RBI and 25+ HR in his first four seasons (DiMaggo, Williams, Pujols)

Terrific day for the tank overall

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 19, 2017 -> 10:29 AM) The only guy who will need (in my guess) adding will be Charlie Tilson. Charlie who?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 16, 2017 -> 03:45 PM) .390 BABIP is not sustainable. .320 or so could be for him and that should still lead to some decent years. Does he have enough in game power for a corner OF spot? I'm very curious to see what the Sox do here. They need to decide whether to extend him or trade him. If I were betting, I'd guess that they deal him this offseason and try to sell high. Given how good he is at infield hits and beating out choppers, I do think he profiles as a guy who can sustain an above average BABIP, probably no higher than .350

QUOTE (oldsox @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 07:11 PM) Agree. Why did we draft him so high? Same criticism back then. I can't believe any team would draft Chris Sale. His delivery was so violent and crazy!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 06:58 PM) He's hitting .230 and his OPS is somewhere near .770. Once things get to normal with him and hits falling/getting comfortable within the strike zone, he's already on a path to being a top 3 2b in the AL soon. OPS is actually a stellar .785 now. Even better

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 06:52 PM) I think it is time for teams to get nervous about Moncada Fantastic prospects and where to find them

At least Call hit a homer. 3-1

Yikes

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 03:21 PM) That's not totally true. His range metrics were worse than Leury at least last I checked. But doesn't Leury also have very good range?

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 02:33 PM) He rated a 0 in 2016 as well. And this data doesn't include the impact of the arm, right? Just catches made/not made. The reason the popular metrics don't like Engel is solely because of his arm, apparently- but it's puzzling because his arm must be a complete and utter liability in order for it to offset his glove by so much.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 02:56 PM) It also suggests he is better than Mike Trout out there who is at -4 . Mike Trout's defense has been overrated for a long time, IMO

QUOTE (Superstar Lamar @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 01:17 PM) It's amusing to see the year start off with people hoping the Sox would be in a position to draft Beer and ending with them hoping to not be in a position to draft him Goes to show you how fickle this all is. There are Sox fans on Twitter who berate other fans for wanting guys like Beer instead of Kelenic or Turang, which is also pretty foolish IMO- what if Beer has a huge 2018 for Clemson and raises his stock again? So much can change between now and draft day.

Willy is back on the Sox

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 10:54 AM) The Abreu impact on the young new players like Moncada cannot be understated. He is one of the players I wouldn't trade at this point. I think his value to mentoring young players is more valuable than any possible return he could provide at this point. Stories like that make me wonder how many players would be much better hitters if they just used a slightly heavier or lighter bat.

Please Ron, make Markannen ROY for me and have the Hawks make another Cup run

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Sep 14, 2017 -> 05:54 PM) Saladino tied the AL LOB record in a 9 inning game with 11. Imagine the offensive output today without him batting 6th

QUOTE (Wanne @ Sep 14, 2017 -> 08:51 PM) You left Eaton off the list again lol. I'm very thankful they decided to rebuild when they did. You probably don't end up with Yoan, Kopech, Jimenez and the haul from the Nats. You just have no clue who would have been available. I'm done looking back...like what lies ahead. I left Eaton off intentionally to try to sweeten the case for going all in. I agree with you on the rest
