Jose Abreu

When did Cruz jump to 39 home runs? Abreu has almost no chance at that, now.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 12:15 PM) Damn Milwaukee is in May and weekdays I know. I probably would've made it out there on a weekend.

I hate the April schedule. It's almost all AL Central teams.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 12:05 PM) MLB didn't announce when they were going to do this. A couple teams or writers for teams released what they know, so maybe not officially today. We'll see. The Mariners schedule is out, but that's it.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 12:05 PM) Really? You're that concerned over it that you're constantly refreshing Twitter? Yes. I have nothing better to do right now anyway.

Anything?

1 minute... time to constantly refresh our Twitter feeds

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 11:50 AM) OK, it's past noon, anybody see a schedule yet? Release is noon central.

QUOTE (Buehrlesque @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 11:43 AM) Not saying you're wrong, but it's so frustrating that the idea of shrinking the schedule is such a non-starter. You're right, the profit-driven owner would never even consider it. Fact is though, it would be so much better for the sport in numerous, far-reaching ways. It also would greatly affect player stats, both season and career. Perhaps Joey Gallo, in 15 years, hits 400 home runs, but since they took a month off of the seasons, he really could've hit 440. Abreu would've finished this season around .310 with 96 RBIs... etc.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 6, 2014 -> 08:30 PM) Looking very very ragged that inning. Other than eaton and Ramirez, we don't have any average fielders even...maybe Sanchez and flowers Um, Abreu? He's definitely been average, if not, better than average.

Konerko says he's feeling better and may return after Oakland series, Petricka is unavailable for this series because his wife just gave birth to their first kid.

His season average is now .325.

During his 14 game hitting streak, Abreu is 25-47 (.532).

During his 14 game hitting streak, Abreu is 25-47 (.532).

Ok now this is getting good. Abreu .325 after that triple

Abreu .324

I'm still worried about his power outage. His average keeps increasing by the day, but now Cruz, Stanton (NL), and even Carter have surpassed him in home runs. The triple crown idea seems even less possible now, even though it was very unlikely to begin with.

Abreu .322

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 07:31 PM) I think only one Soxtalk regular still thinks he's a plausible starter next year and that's Dick Allen. Well, I'd love to read him make a case for Danks.

That bottle of wine + $10k to his charity. Quite the haul

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Sep 2, 2014 -> 10:47 PM) that would be awful. Not really. I'm a Viciedo believer, especially against LHP

winner

If we can't snag Victor next year, I'd love a Wilkins/Viciedo DH platoon with Andy getting the occasional 1B start and Tank the rare LF/RF start.
