Jose Abreu

QUOTE (beautox @ Aug 21, 2017 -> 04:57 PM) Agreed, Omar has caught him 70% of the time this year and he is dog s*** at framing. Yup. I feel like people underestimate just how many more pitches someone has to throw due to bad framing.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Aug 21, 2017 -> 04:46 PM) Not a fan of 40 plus pitches in an inning and 2 thirds Not his fault, it's all on the framing

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 21, 2017 -> 04:38 PM) Avi 2 RBI single. Too bad he might not have the PA's or else iamshack probably wins that portillos sandwich over Joecoolman. He still might get there, if he stays healthy

Baserunning miscues...

Automated. Strike. Zone.

Moncada to sit for game 2 due to the injury and not wanting to be overworked

I'd love this but I really don't know what we have to give for him. If Colorado ends up wanting Avi, then sure, but otherwise, I don't see us surrendering prospects.

I think either one of them can be a solid backup when we're good. Just gotta work on the framing.

It's safe to say the league has figured him out. DFA him.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 19, 2017 -> 05:35 PM) Can't hurt to get more veteran leadership to go with Abreu. But those are ABs being taken from Delmonico, Cordell, Liriano, the Garcias, etc. Might as well see what we have in them.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 19, 2017 -> 02:47 PM) As of now, I'd predict it to look like this: 1. Leury Garcia CF 2. Yoan Moncada 2B 3. Jose Abreu 1B 4. Casey Gillaspie DH 5. Matt Davidson 3B 6. Nick Delmonico LF 7. Ryan Cordell RF 8. Kevan Smith C 9. Tim Anderson SS This is almost exactly what I would propose (seems like we both think Avi will be traded). I'd just make Delmonico the DH, have Gillaspie start in AAA and then put Willy or Rymer in the LF/RF spot (with Cordell being versatile enough to move).

Fulmer is an interesting move but I have no problem with it.

Leury Garcia

Avi Garcia

He joins Zeke Bonura as the only Sox player to have 5 home run in his first 15 career games.

Scoring change for Dunning. Now only 1 run of his was earned.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 09:12 PM) I dont think there are any minor leaguers I would trade for Jimenez. I would consider Acuna (as was said already) and maybe Vlad Jr, but that's it.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 07:45 PM) Moncada hr!! I think somebody should eat crow about a certain player that he judged too harshly.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 04:24 PM) This isn't a fair comparison considering Yolmer has played the majority of his season at 2b. Davidson is a much better hitter. In addition, Yolmer has been regressing offensively while Davidson has been pretty steady.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 17, 2017 -> 02:28 PM) I had my last one (Will Arnett) for something like 7 years. The Gob avatar was an institution here. I miss it

El Rey >>> ReyLo

It's shocking how many people still can't accept that they lost the Civil War. Nothing about it is American, what they're honoring is American traitors. We should get a Benedict Arnold statute to put with them, too.
