Jose Abreu

We can't bring Jennings in for Mauer because he's a reverse split. There are no other lefties to bring in. No reason to complain about Duke

Has the HP umpire been bad all day?

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 02:23 PM) In order to make a case for Saladino to be owed more PT literally five games into this season, you have taken 2/3 of a single season of defensive data from the less popular of two divergent WAR systems and extrapolated it to an entire season. And it STILL ends up 30% lower than the number quoted in the post you quoted. You're using numbers the way tobacco companies use numbers. The number being used ("over 3") is 3.57. 3.57 is definitely not 30% less than 4. You're also assuming that he never improves. (Since OP said he doesn't put up a season as good as 2014 Rollins even at full ceiling, and someone decided to make WAR the only stat being talked about)

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 02:00 PM) I thought Quintana got a ND in his start? correct

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 01:27 PM) I don't think it's highly debatable that Saladino likely never puts up a 4 WAR season. His WAR/162 was over 3 last year.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 01:16 PM) We need more of a sample size on JR though. That 2014 Rollins season is better than anything you can get from Saladino even from his fully realized ceiling. So you have to exhaust the small chance you can still get that '14 production from him. And it takes more than a handful of atbats to determine it. That is highly debatable. (The defensive value Saladino brings plus his hitting that probably wouldn't be too much worse may be better than Rollins' overall production)

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 12:46 PM) Panik has outplayed Weise lately. And Ladd is fine, going to practice tomorrow. Isn't Weise famous for "flipping the switch" come playoff time, though?

I like Navarro starting against the righty.

Don't worry guys, I'm wearing my Quintana shirsey today. Bad luck averted.

The MN lineup isn't that bad. Really 6-8 are the weaknesses.

It's Sale who is horrible in Minnesota (at least in 2015), not Quintana, right?

The Twins' first W this year will likely be against us...

Abreu

Garcia

Eaton

Bad luck Quintana may start a couple innings, then have it be wasted due to a delay

A 60% chance of rain at 2 is the only time that there is more than a 50% chance of it

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 10, 2016 -> 10:30 AM) And then was the number 1 overall draft pick. My point was he was overlooked for being too small in his youth and then was the #1 pick.

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 10, 2016 -> 10:31 AM) There doesn't seem to be a winning formula in lineups. A manager who tries to "ride the hot bat" and freely makes adjustments is accused of making players uncomfortable, the players don't know their roll from day to day, etc. A manager who dogmatically keeps the same line up each day gets blasted for leaving a guy in who isn't performing. Not taking advantage of hot hitters . . . This isn't about going to the hot hand. I'm willing to bet that Jackson finishes the season with a higher OBP than Rollins, which is why I want them switched/moved (I put Eaton second originally because he has more power than Jackson but that wasn't a well-liked idea).

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 10, 2016 -> 10:26 AM) This is dumb. Put Saladino at 2B and Lawrie at DH. I don't think Saladino plays 2B. And where would Sands go? Who would play SS?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 09:46 PM) From what I read about him, your typical overlooked for being too small. Sounds a lot like the story of a guy who just scored 106 points for us (referring to his days where he didn't make the USA youth team despite dominating competition)

Ynoa? He has made one AA appearance and is a high-A pitcher. Why not Carroll/Turner/Aumont? Is it an options thing?

QUOTE (gosoxgo2005 @ Apr 10, 2016 -> 08:12 AM) If the sox are contending for a playoff spot at the end of the year, Jackson is hitting 9th If the Sox are contending for a playoff spot at the end of the year, Rollins is not hitting 2nd
