Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 12:47 PM) No, but he's the most major league ready bat and we need another positional guy. Hanson & Willy can continue to cover CF in the interim. He's only a DH, though. His defense isn't playable in the Majors as of now.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jun 18, 2017 -> 02:26 PM) It may be too late as his value has gone through the roof, but I'd offer him an 8 year $120 million extension. If he takes it, he's the centerpiece of our rebuild. If he doesn't, trade him if you can get a package as good (or better) as we got for Sale. 8/120?! No way he accepts anything below 12/360.

That Abreu AB was so professional. Really fun to watch, and he bailed out Renteria again. I don't care where he is in the order, Melky Cabrera should never bunt with RISP and nobody out.

QUOTE (Two-Gun Pete @ Jun 18, 2017 -> 10:39 AM) See, Avi's Rod Carew-esque Babip has lead to irrational exhuberance, such as calling him a "middle order bat." Or recalling KW's unadulterated BS of calling Avi's potential as "30-30." Now, drop his Babip to a league average Babip, or even slightly above average, and Avi's a below average player, at best. Re-signing him would be insanity, IMO. His batted ball statistics suggest that he is making less weak contact than he ever has, which obviously adds for more medium and hard contact. Things like this need to be factored into your BABIP regression argument.

Like 90% of those PAs are Leury's lol

Who says no? Chicago receives: Rafael Devers, Jason Groome, Blake Swihart, Jaylen Brown, 2017 #3 overall NBA Draft selection, 2018 1st Round NBA Draft selection (via Lakers) Boston receives: Jimmy Butler, Jose Quintana, Todd Frazier, 2023 2nd Round NBA Draft selection

QUOTE (ron883 @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 04:28 PM) Seems like he is only good when there is no pressure on. He always blows the first half before the sox are essentially out of it. Jose Abreu career during the 1st half: .288/.339/.848 with a 34/109 pace over a full season. Next?

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 04:34 PM) Not only will you not admit to being wrong (twice with these threads) 3x, in fact. This one, this one, and this one.

Today was a rare outlier in which all the bunting actually worked, even if we did get bailed out by an error. We don't win this game if it wasn't for Kahnle. The 7th inning double play and 1-2-3 8th took away all of our pressure.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 02:34 PM) plus the wrong side of 30. He'd be a nice piece in a package. Personally...I'd like to hang onto Kahnle unless it's a ridiculous return. Kahnle's years of team control make it very unlikely for us to receive a fair trade offer for him. I'm with you on this

His numbers are certainly ASG worthy at this point. Could be a reserve.

Again, we can't choose up to 3 because you didn't make that possible in the settings.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 08:22 PM) The Switch is f***ing awesome. And if you already own a PS4, it's the perfect gaming complement. Why?

Anderson

We need to pick it up for him

Melky

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:59 PM) Don't forget about dessert - a Danish. What's Donnie Veal doing these days? Signing him could provide marketing to give fans a more upscale entree.

I feel like views are getting so extreme these days, on both sides of the political spectrum, and that's why I'd have trouble identifying as a supporter of either of the two major parties. We shouldn't have a two party system to begin with, but that's a separate issue.

Astros are now without Keuchel and McCullers.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 11, 2017 -> 11:53 PM) I would argue Robertson's value has gone up since the offseason, and Washington's need has gone up as well (playoff need, at least). And I'd agree, but the proposed deal was so far off from the Soto/Kieboom type, that even with this change in value, it still might not be enough. If you add Swarzak, I can see it.

When are we gonna get an independents thread?
