Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 02:43 PM) None of us have seen him play. If he's healthy, then no matter what 17 at bats say, he's better than anything we can throw out there. As long as he's better than Coats/Avi then I'll be happy. That isn't too hard to do

Blackmon's career OPS at Coors: .894 Away from Coors: .678

Shame if he's out for a while. Jackson was starting to hit quite well before the injury

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 11:36 AM) The only thing I can think of that he's missed on what the Burdi plan, but I also am not 100% sure that was him anyway. He also reported that the Sox and Cespedes finalized a contract in December

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 09:11 PM) Rehab as in rehab assignment. Not a problem with addiction. You sure? Exact quote is "checking into rehab"

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 03:32 PM) I forgot who mentioned it on twitter, but a major writer said that the Dodgers are interested in trading for Puig since Ethier is on his way back. Not a LH bat, but I think he still can make an impact defensively and in the lineup. Only question now is, are you interested in him, and what would you give up to acquire him? Really next to nothing. He isn't good.

Who do the Sox theoretically lose after 17 aside from Lawrie, Frazier, and Cabrera? I am sure we'll exercise all the team options on Sale/Q/Eaton/Jones etc.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 12, 2016 -> 11:08 PM) If the Sox are going to utilize Saladino he needs to play some OF to go along with his infield skills. I know he hurt his arm ( elbow ?) making a throw from the OF in the minors but so what . If he wants to play more and get more AB's than Avi he should be all for it. He's fast enough and athletic enough to play OF decently and would be worth more. Or, we could 3B Saladino, 1B Frazier, DH Abreu vs LHP. Morneau as DH vs RHP with no Saladino. No Avi ever. Problem solved

"Rumored conjecture"? So basically it's a rumored opinion? lmao

Man, the disrespect Quintana has gotten... I searched his name to Twittter only to find Red Sox fans complaining that he's pitching over Wright, or tweets like this: Sam Fick ‏@FammySick Michael Fulmer: 9-2 with a 2.11ERA as a rookie. Jose Quintana: 7-8 with a 3.21ERA...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 11, 2016 -> 02:00 PM) Just think if we had Anderson, Semien and Trayce! Wow we'd be excited and praising our system. Instead, two horrific trades letting Trayce and Semien go. As much as we rail on our system, we had 3 studs right there home grown and let two go. Have you looked at Trayce's numbers lately? The dude has been horrific.

Sale starting and likely going one inning. Quintana likely to pitch the 5th.

QUOTE (gosoxgo2005 @ Jul 11, 2016 -> 06:38 AM) Serious question, what happened on his caught stealing yesterday? AJ has never one time thrown out a runner by 30 feet like he threw out Anderson yesterday. Did he slip? Horrific jump? I didn't see the replay, just saw that he was so far from second when the 2B/SS (I forget which one) caught the ball that he had the time to turn around and try and get back to first. I was at the game and was watching him/the pitcher the whole time. It was one of the worst jumps I've ever seen. That's all

If we improve at beating teams in our division, we will make the playoffs. If we continue to struggle beating teams in our division, we will not make the playoffs. It's as simple as that.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jul 11, 2016 -> 11:12 AM) Abreu has appeared to be declining.. the basic numbers are straight forward. BUT its more than a little early to be making any conclusions on him. He still has a lot of career to go... after this season is over we can assess more reasonably. He is still driving in runs... which to me is the most important stat for him. Exactly, and his stats over the last month are fantastic- he's back. You have to be a troll when 100% of the threads you start are about Abreu being "figured out".

Oh god, this guy again, the one who was rooting for Abreu's demise and is now starting ANOTHER anti-Abreu thread... dude, look at his stats for the past month and then tell me he's been "figured out".

He replaced Salazar. Still no replacement for Wade Davis...

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jul 10, 2016 -> 03:03 PM) The high profile exposure of being an All Star certainly couldn't hurt his trade value at the end of the month. The Sox aren't trading Quintana in the middle of a playoff race

Very good points. Never understood the Robertson hate

I still really like the Saladino 3B, Frazier 1B, Abreu DH lineup but we rarely use it

We didn't trade David Robertson

Damn Abreu has bailed Frazier out often lately with good scoops

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 03:55 PM) DR is quickly becoming one of my most unliked guys on the team. He's being paid like a very good closer and he's performing like an average one, and now this? Now this? What do you mean now this? We have no idea why he's not pitching.
