Jose Abreu

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

Dan HayesVerified account ‏@CSNHayes Still might be nothing, but Robin Ventura stopped by to talk to David Robertson for a minute or two in postgame last night.

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.

No idea as to why Robertson would be unavailable. Hasn't pitched since Wednesday

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 03:27 PM) See my last post. Sanchez deserves it. He's had three crappy starts all year (none as bad as Sale yesterday), one against TEX and another against BAL. Other than that, total dominance. By that logic, Quintana deserves it. He's had TWO, not three, crappy starts all year, one against BOS and another against DET.

Aaron Sanchez got the replacement call.

NL replacements have been announced.... still no word on the Davis/Kimbrel swaps

First time two Colombian born starters will start against one another

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 11:35 AM) That's why he hasn't been moved yet. But if Boston comes calling with Moncada, Benintendi, Devers. They better consider it. Trading Q only may actually be beneficial if we could get a small haul and acquire another starter like a Hellickson to take his spot. I just really want Anderson and Moncada to be my SS 2B combo. No, he hasn't been moved because we're not selling.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 11:26 AM) Surely Kendrys Morales and Paulo Orlando will take their places because Ned Yost QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 9, 2016 -> 11:33 AM) Jose Quintana does not actually exist outside of Soxtalk. So nope, Q will never be on the allstar team. Lmao, in all honesty the replacements could be Rich Hill and Aaron Sanchez, or some random middle reliever, so maybe he really won't make it. Shouldn't the announcement be today?

Anderson

Eaton

So we're still waiting for word on replacements for both Davis and Kimbrel... one of them has to be Quintana, no?
