Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 09:26 PM) Leave it too the Sox to win this one I know right

Shuck is really a solid player.

IMO: Players who should have a spot on the 2016 roster: Matt Albers Zach Duke Erik Johnson Nate Jones Jake Petricka Jose Quintana David Robertson Carlos Rodon Chris Sale Jose Abreu Carlos Sanchez Melky Cabrera Adam Eaton Trayce Thompson ---------------------- Players who should be fringe players in 2016/ST position battles: Dan Jennings Zach Putnam Tyler Flowers Tyler Saladino Avisail Garcia ---------------------- Wild cards: Frank Montas Micah Johnson Alexei Ramirez JB Shuck ---------------------- Players who should not be on the 2016 roster but probably will be due to contracts: John Danks Adam LaRoche ---------------------- Players who should not be on the 2016 roster whatsoever: Jeff Samardzija Daniel Webb Geo Soto Gordon Beckham Mike Olt

SHUCKS.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 09:02 PM) Get this run in. We need an L. there you go

His career Sox ERA is 3.83... that's so much worse than I thought. 2006 is probably skewing that number though.

Oh, duh. Forgot about Stroman's return.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 06:27 PM) Also, our ERA-FIP gap used to be much larger. The difference is now only 0.16, less than the Phillies, Rockies, Tigers, Nationals, and Padres. We're far from having the biggest gap, it's largely closed over the past couple of months. Thanks Saladino, Sanchez, and Thompson!

If he's really not gonna be on the playoff roster, they might as well trade him to us and let him finish his career here...

Buehrle is scheduled to pitch two innings tomorrow (to get to 200 on the season), and then retire. He will not be part of the Toronto Blue Jays playoff roster. source

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 07:58 PM) Not sure if this has been discussed but I heard today from a friend of mine who works for the Sox and he said Hahn is going to make a big play for Todd Frazier People have been saying that he has been terrible lately, but other than that, it hasn't really been discussed

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 04:17 PM) Good there will be at least a couple of important games tomorrow. Starting all of the games at 2:10 central tomorrow was a good idea. Very interesting idea, and it looks like it will work out.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 04:14 PM) That ending....wow Incredible.

Brantly batting ahead of Garcia, Olt, and Sanchez? But he's so much worse than them

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 10:34 AM) I would never trade Sale to the Cubs for anything because it would make me so sad to see him having all that success in their uniform. I'd trade him to any other team before the Cubs and Yankees IMO. You wouldn't trade Sale for Schwarber, Torres, Bryant, and Baez? I see your point but if they make a "too good to refuse" offer then I'd take it.

Let's not discredit the Giants' roster. Bochy is an incredible manager, but they were way more than just Bumgarner and Posey on the field.

QUOTE (Whitey @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 08:58 AM) Every hypothetical trade scenario I see with Sale involves another team emptying their farm system. Which no team is willing to do. Agreed. The hypothetical trades are either that or an extremely underwhelming return. Sale is a once in a generation type pitcher. I wouldn't trade him for prospects, unless there are lots of them and they come from the Dodgers or Cubs.

The U.S. and Canada are enough for me

Shuck's catch was spectacular.

Not quitting per se, but moving to an ambassador role.

I have a feeling Sale gets lit up by this lineup.

Confirmed- Rose to wear a mask

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 11:11 AM) He was being interviewed during media day and was joking about how he can play point guard. He may not need to joke. Buckets is such a great teammate and just awesome. He wasn't joking. This was mentioned right at the start of the offseason too. He actually trained to play PG this offseason.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 02:50 PM) A couple seasons ago he had shoulder surgery. I'm not aware of a previous knee issue. That's what I was thinking of. My mistake. I do remember it happened towards the end of the season like this one.

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 10:41 AM) McGwire did it too He had 3 home runs and 9 runs batted in in his first season.
