Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 09:11 PM) Still can't believe there's people on Soxtalk who question Eatons arm. There's a reason nobody runs on him. I agree, but I think the common gripe has more to do with him sometimes taking lots of time to transfer or get the ball out of his possession.

Latos with the fresh 0.49 ERA

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 18, 2016 -> 10:28 PM) Sands has no options. then we can DFA him. Having both him and Avi is redundant.

hope he's back soon, we need a LH bat on the bench.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 18, 2016 -> 08:56 PM) LaRoche gonna be on Good Morning America tomorrow lol Just when you thought it was over!

We can't have our bullpen eating up this many innings without any days off. We need a long man such as Turner, Carroll, Gonzalez, I don't care. Somebody. I think we should make room for it by sending Sands down. There really isn't a need for 5 outfielders. That's the beauty of not having a true DH, it's easy to give the position players rest.

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Apr 18, 2016 -> 11:54 AM) I think the point to be made here is that we've played the A's and Twins for 7 of our 12 games. Those two teams will be at the bottom of the AL. But this isn't football/basketball. The Sox, at least since I've been a fan, have been pretty bad against bad teams. They tend to play to the level of their competition. It is nice to see us beating up on the bad teams. It's not anything but a good sign. As for my football/basketball comment, it's not like the supposedly "better" team is supposed to win every game against the worse team. It is very common for the "better team" to split a series, lose 2/3, etc. vs a worse team, whereas in football/basketball, it is a bigger deal if, say, the Bears beat the Packers (2015), the 76ers beat the Warriors (almost happened!), etc.

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Apr 18, 2016 -> 09:18 AM) It's amazing that the Sox have Eaton and Quintana, who are basically Heyward and Lester, for about 15% of the salary. I wouldn't say Eaton is basically Heyward defensively yet, but I see your point.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 18, 2016 -> 09:57 AM) If nobody is being forced to use gender-neutral bathrooms, I don't see why that would bother anybody. Agreed. Whether or not you support the installation of gender-neutral bathrooms, you aren't affected by it. That can't be explained to the hundreds of students who were up in arms over it, though.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 18, 2016 -> 09:40 AM) In addition to or in place of regular bathrooms? In addition to.

The recent installation of gender-neutral bathrooms at my school caused surprising outrage.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 16, 2016 -> 05:58 PM) Hawk correcting Stone on what actually happened... usually the other way around

QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 16, 2016 -> 11:31 AM) I know it's still pretty early, but I think it should be noted that Eaton is currently leading all of MLB with 5 DRS. The move from CF is obviously having a massive positive effect on his defense, and I'm happy Hahn was smart enough to bring in Jackson who, while he needs to start hitting more, has really alleviated the pressure on Eaton on Cabrera to make plays. He has been extremely unlucky though.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 16, 2016 -> 12:07 AM) 5 game win streak yes, my mistake

Sadly, the 5-game W streak should end tomorrow because danks
