Jose Abreu

QUOTE (TomPickle @ Dec 20, 2015 -> 08:09 PM) Streamer has him at .243/.301/.360 I'd take that in a heartbeat if he can play acceptable defense at SS I think his defense at SS will be far more than acceptable

My somewhat pessimistic guess is .230/9/40/.265 with 15 stolen bases. With his projected defense, I'd be fine with that.

The whole Beckham/Josh Norman battle today has been ridiculous.

If I had a nickel for every missed Portis layup tonight, I'd have like 30 cents.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 19, 2015 -> 08:33 PM) Bobby Portis loves to shoot. And miss point-blank layups.

NYK 92 CHI 79 in the 4th... yikes

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Dec 19, 2015 -> 05:19 PM) Someone on one of the CSN shows was talking about how Cespedes absolutely strikes fear into the pitchers when he's at the dish. I didn't know that but I like it. Well duh... so does every good/powerful hitter.

Kane scores on a 6 on 3. Better score on that

Gasol sitting tonight

Please limit Gasol/Rose/Butler to less than 25 mins tomorrow.

Have you guys seen what relivers have been getting this offseason? This is a great signing.

Right on

4-0 win thanks to Crawford, Teravainen, Toews, Hossa

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 03:08 PM) No clue where to put this, but John Smoltz just called Quintana a #3-4 type guy in the rotation. John Smoltz was a #3-4 type guy in the rotation.

Nah to Leury, he's too good to be on our team

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 12:36 PM) Yeah. Highly doubt he would not be playing now if he had double vision. Wait, so you do think he would be playing through it?

Some poster on here recently told me that "nobody ever fails physicals" despite me citing recent examples... thanks for helping my argument, Hisashi! :lol

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 08:36 AM) Adam Dunn Adam LaRoche It's not a theory...it's fact. Or maybe it's just players named Adam who are lefties who played for the Nationals fixed

QUOTE (daggins @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 08:29 AM) OF, OF, OF. A corner bat and, with TNT gone, a viable 4th OF are needed. Possibly SS depth, but not as important. I wonder what Rollins is looking for $$ wise SP depth is needed as well. Outfield of Melky/Eaton/FA with Shuck as a 4th seems good to me. For SS, I think Saladino is fine as starter with Sanchez as backup infielder. As for starting pitching, I wouldn't mind us getting a legit guy to place behind our big three, since we don't know how Johnson will do and we know Danks isn't very good.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 08:27 AM) That is just the same talk that a few from every team's fanbase feels necessary when they are disgruntled. I'm willing to bet they watch the Reds opening day. I understand and agree. I'm just surprised by the sheer amount of people who were saying they were done with the team. It wasn't just one or two, it was practically every reply.

I know this has been posted and buried deep into this thread, but I still think the story of Frazier saving a life is pretty cool.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 08:08 AM) hometown kid, homegrown kid, little league WS hero, HR derby winner. They absolutely loved him QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 17, 2015 -> 08:11 AM) Did you watch the home run derby? From Jersey, but yes, I know they loved him, but saying that they'll never watch their team again seems extreme to me.

I've seen lots of "never watching the Reds again" comments on Twitter from this trade... They must've really liked Frazier.

Lawrie's defense at 2B is better than his defense at 3B, right?
