Jose Abreu

Today at school, I had to go get a consumer ed textbook to complete an assignment. I opened it up to find this. For those who don't know, Eric Jagielo (yes, he went to my school) is the #8 prospect in the Yankees' organization and is the #7 3B prospect in baseball. Thought this was worth sharing.

easily a dirty slide

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 01:03 PM) And you have never seen any of those players play a minute of hockey. I've seen Dano a few times (full games) and I've seen Panarin highlights. I admit that I haven't seen Tikhonov but I maintain my prediction on him.

I'm sorry, but I'm not expecting too much this season from Dano, Panarin, or Tikhonov. I think Panarin will break out next year, Dano will be an average player in his prime, and Tikhonov won't amount to much.

I expect an attendance of about 12k.

What's with all the love for Dano? Is he really 1st-line cabliber/a 50 point player?

How did I not find out about this until now? Good signing.

Why does it switch halfway through the season?

1. Avisail* 2. No, you can't just make someone a third baseman. Especially someone with his athleticism.

Update- now at 29/92 with 17 games left. He's been on a tear.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 05:42 PM) Nothing like a diehard Cubs fan announcing the Sox game. For real. I wish we had a different fill-in announcer.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 04:26 PM) I remember when this season began and we were all like "And Cabrera FINALLY solves our #2 hole problems!" To be fair, if he had been hitting #2 all season, he'd probably still have his .274/10/68. That's not too bad for a #2 hitter. Big improvement from last year, for sure.

Thompson to play CF tomorrow as well

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 02:46 PM) They could also be making a horrible misstep. I don't think the Hawks brass would do that. They are very concerned with their image.

Hawks to address Kane situation at 2 PM CT press conference tomorrow

This is encouraging.

Why would he even lie about that?

The funny thing is, Alexei shaking off Geo was actually the right, smart call.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 07:56 AM) My offseason plan: 1. Give qualifying offer to Samardzija 2.Decline Alexei's option (bring him back at like $4mill. $5 mi deal with the 1 mill buyout) 3. Trade Quintana maybe include Avi for a package that includes mlb/near mlb ready young position players (hopefully including a 3B, a C, an OF, and a SP spect) 4. Sign Kenta Maeda if he is posted The rest I'm not really sure on. Rotation of: 1. Sale 2. Maeda 3. Rodon 4. Danks/Fulmer 5. Johnson You really want Maeda for his expected contract after what happened to Tanaka? The overuse of pitchers in Japan is a real problem.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 07:22 AM) How about complain about them in the gamethread, since this was posted during the game? Well first, the game thread is closed. Second, my post wasn't really complaining about them, it was agreeing with a previous poster.

NHL 16 gameplay is much better than 15. For the Hawks specifically, it's now the United Center rather than Chicago Arena or whatever it was. Before opening faceoffs, the organ plays and the fans chant "Let's Go Hawks!". The goal horn is much more accurate. And last, but not least, Chelsea Dagger plays after Hawks goals. The announcing is still dry and annoying.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 12:06 AM) He's going to go down as one of the most hated Sox acquisitions... With that said, can we take him off the banner? Even if it's just the current banner with his face sloppily whited out, I wouldn't care. An addition of Quintana and/or Abreu would be nice, though.

No love for Leury? Anyway, no idea. Maybe he pitched a bit in Cuba?
