Jose Abreu

QUOTE (steveno89 @ May 21, 2017 -> 02:36 PM) Pretty sure we all would do Robertson for Soto straight up Eh... he has a little more value than that. Especially since we're probably eating some of his contract. Maybe add someone like Severino to that as a sweetener.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 21, 2017 -> 11:14 AM) kinda surprised this wasn't posted anywhere.... from two days ago Chuck Garfien ✔ ‎@ChuckGarfien The Washington Nationals have a crush on the White Sox bullpen. https://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/865795125825466368 I mean, it's not news. It's just Garfien making a (probably accurate) joke.

QUOTE (spiderman @ May 20, 2017 -> 11:59 PM) I'm no expert, but given his contract, and his up/down performance, is Robertson really going to get the White Sox more than salary relief and maybe a mid level prospect? I don't doubt a team like Washington will trade for him, somebody will, but isn't he under contract for $10M this year this year and next season (obviously this season is probably down to $5M or so by the time July comes).....Is the contract not a big deal anymore given other contracts? I think that his being a reliever adds value instantly. I mean, even though he's only signed through 2018, relievers tend to get crazy hauls at trade deadlines compared to starters or position players. I think he could get a top-100 guy if the other team eats his salary, or if we pair him with a Swarzak/Kahnle or eat some money, a top-30 guy.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2017 -> 09:08 PM) I'm sure it won't happen, but in order to get Robles in a deal, I really wouldn't mind giving up Robertson and Giolito or Dunning. With that said, don't think they will give up Robles for anyone (realistic) Imagine being, say, Dunning in that scenario. Traded from the Nats to us in December, finally is acclimated and feeling good in our system, and boom- you're being traded back to the Nats! It's unlikely, of course, but you never know.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 20, 2017 -> 03:30 PM) Kudos to you as I remember you mentioning that yesterday afternoon. I believe it was you that brought Robert's picture change up on instagram, right? You've done your homework no doubt. Thanks. Being young and tech-savvy has its perks, I guess.

Chuck Garfein just tweeted that it's pronounced Robert like David Robert-son. Isn't it "ro-bare"?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2017 -> 03:17 PM) Kinda stunning that after all of this, the IG hat might have been a major clue I was really confident when he started following White Sox fan accounts yesterday.

He's an obvious step up from Robin. Regardless, his lineup configuration is often questionable. Also, he orders bunts way too often- like, even more than Robin. If you ever find yourself ordering Jose Abreu to bunt with 2 men on, you need to reevaluate your strategies... yet, he orders bunts over and over and over, even from middle of the order hitters.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:59 PM) My bad. I'm not even on twitter so it was easy to get me on this fake. No worries. I've just seen like, 5 or 6 people post fake tweets here lately that are easy to identify. If there's no blue check mark next to the guy's name (like Badler, for example, doesn't have one for some reason), you just have to make sure his name is spelled right, he has lots of followers, >1 tweet, etc.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:56 PM) https://mobile.twitter.com/BenBadlar?ref_sr...7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Why do you guys do this? I mean, I understand honest mistakes but some are so obviously fake. This dude has one tweet. One.

For those wondering, and on desktop: www.instagram.com/luisrobertm56 Right-click on his profile photo, click "open in new tab". When in the new tab, edit the link and delete "/s150x150". Reload. That's how you full-size it to get a better look.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 20, 2017 -> 11:56 AM) This is hilarious but lol if this is not his real account and he signs with cards. That would be a huge gut punch. I'd also block him, that'll show the fake account. It's his real account, no doubt about it.

QUOTE (MDWhiteSoxFan @ May 20, 2017 -> 10:25 AM) Jose doing the real investigative work for us. You the real MVP My pleasure. Basically every social media post/info people have been using is fake or from an unreliable source unless it's a baseball writer we all know about. To this point, the only concrete social media information there is lies in Robert's Instagram account, on which he has indeed followed a couple White Sox fan pages.
