Jose Abreu

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 08:37 AM) He was fine there, but not great. Frazier is far better defensively, which is why I want to keep Frazier there virtually all the time. But if we need to spell Abreu for a day, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to put a good defender in Saladino at third and Frazier at first.

Jake McGee would be pretty cool.

My friend who is a senior in high school was overjoyed when her teacher bought the class 8 dozen donuts. It's rare for a teacher to do anything for graduating students here

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 10:34 PM) Is it just me or are the faces in the Show much worse this year? Lawrie, Putnam and Navarro look nothing like they do in real life and that are the only ones I have noticed in a game and a half so far Yeah, Navarro looks horrible. Abreu/Saladino do as well but they're too young to get scanned, I think

Apparently Saladino can play a competent 1B. Frazier does as well, obviously. We could always shift Frazier to first and start Saladino at third if needed.

I was surprised by 2014, but then I remembered the season started in March

I guess now we know what Hawk does on days that Benetti is broadcasting.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 06:10 PM) He means Gold Gloves are worthless. Derek Jeter has 4 of them, that should say it all. And Cespedes won last year

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:35 PM) This is definitively false. Garcia has elite speed. Sanchez has played in a 148 games in the MLB. That's basically a typical full season sample. He has 3 SBs and 3 CSs in his career in the bigs. Garcia, who doesn't even fulfill all of his base stealing potential, has stolen 191 bags in minors and is 19/22 as a big leaguer. I know Garcia is a better base stealer, but from a pure speed standpoint, Sanchez isn't a slouch. I acknowledge that Garcia is faster, but my point is basically that speed alone shouldn't deter us from hypothetically selecting the better all-around player, as his speed is not a weakness.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:26 PM) Apparently it's because CPS is on spring break this week. That's a shockingly late spring break

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 01:22 PM) ump was looking at where the ball landed, not where it crossed the bag. Do your job! I'm not watching, are you saying Eaton was safe?

Saladino!

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 12:43 PM) I think we benefit more from Sanchez every day, fine with Leury being first up due to his speed + positional versatility. Leury is faster than Sanchez, but you're not losing that much speed-wise by having Sanchez over him.

Kind of crazy that it happened in this century and there's no easily available video of it.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 12:51 PM) Is Sands going to get embarrassed today or run into a HR? both!

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 09:23 AM) Send down Avi bring up Carlos or Leury If we send Avi down and bring Leury over Sanchez... yikes

But my point was that there would have been one fewer out, and a runner on, which could have resulted in a run

But Sale looked horrible the inning before the Trout grand slam, and Robin brought him out for the next inning when he shouldn't have.

Every time Sale faces the Angels, I think about that horrible game where Trout hit a grand slam off of him

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 08:30 AM) Clearly that .700 BABIP is sustainable. Don't underestimate the power of the #MagicGlasses.

Tyler Flowers, who is hitting .412, had 4 hits and 3 RBI's in an Atlanta victory yesterday

so frustrating.

good series. on to the next year
