Jose Abreu

Hawks preseason opener is tonight. Kane is expected to play.

He has at least proven that he can hit at the MLB level. I'd take him hitting .235 with 25 homers (or whatever his 2014 numbers were) at DH over LaRoche's .205 with 12 homers any day. I am not advocating that he start in a non-DH position nor do I think he's a good player. I just think he would produce better than LaRoche in 2016 at DH.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Sep 21, 2015 -> 10:52 PM) Hahaha I'm dying laughing. Think of all the sox, bears, and Illini fans here. But then think of how many of those people are also Bulls/Blackhawks fans.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 21, 2015 -> 10:44 PM) I think Melky's a flop cause of his production. Few homers, not enough RBIs. As of now, Melky has the exact same amount of RBIs he had in 2014.

I know the Colts are sucking right now but you have a top-5 QB and you'll rebound.

With tonight's win, the Sox now have 9,000 all-time wins.

swept the DH. Not good for the draft pick position

Update- 29/96 with 12.5 games left

Adam Wainwright may return as a reliever

Honestly, I think Fales is better than Clausen.

I too like Kasich. I think he would make the best President out of the Republicans. Or maybe Jeb. It's close.

Didn't realize he did that well last week.

He (throws) strikes when you least expect it.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 21, 2015 -> 03:16 PM) Which one? Joe. I don't really know him. I just have heard of him/know he's a Sox fan.

How many runs has Samardzija allowed? Six...teen?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 21, 2015 -> 10:48 AM) My little cousins go to DGN. I wonder if they've ever noticed Jose Abreu walking around. If they have the same last name as you then I think I know one of them.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 21, 2015 -> 12:46 PM) Realistically, LaRoche has a history of being a good hitter, and Viciedo has a history of being a mediocre to bad one. The odds of getting a decent season out of Viciedo are WAY lower, than the they are for LaRoche. Let me put it this way, Dayan has one season which had only 106 PAs in it, which had a higher OPS than LaRoche's career average OPS. I know Viciedo isn't good. This isn't directed at you, but don't label me as some huge Viciedo fan, like Greg and Danks. He's bad, but I'm arguing that he could have a better DH season than LaRoche. I know LaRoche has a good history, but he is in a serious decline. I don't expect anything from him next year.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 21, 2015 -> 08:53 AM) Based on his whole career, Laroche has been far better than Viciedo. Do you really think, if given the same number of 2016 PA's, LaRoche would outperform Viciedo?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 21, 2015 -> 09:31 AM) LMAO, do you even remember his career? His first full season was in 2012... so yes, I do.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 21, 2015 -> 10:52 AM) He's probably the kid getting a swirly. QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 21, 2015 -> 10:55 AM) He told the school bully that Dayan Viciedo is a major leaguer and the bully had enough. Wow, this is so accurate!

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Sep 21, 2015 -> 07:47 AM) Wow. Based on 150 AAA appearances? Should be noted that he was bad in the ultimate hitters' league in Oakland's system before that. Not just based on 150 AAA appearances. Based on his whole career. He was a far better hitter for us than LaRoche has been, thus I think Viciedo is a better DH hitter. He even has more power.
