Jose Abreu

Help me out- try and pick no more than 4 co-players of the game. Quintana and 3 hitters. Eaton/Abreu/Gillaspie? Does Alexei deserve a spot? Flowers?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 09:05 PM) Well, 40 more walks a year is the difference between being Vlad Guerrero and Frank Thomas. Not that I wouldn't be satisfied with Jose Abreu becoming another Vlad Guerrero, but that doesn't mean that we can't hope for him to become another Frank Thomas. I think Jose can put up better HR/RBI numbers than Vlad, whose best HR/RBI season was 42/131

QUOTE (Baron @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 09:05 PM) I just love all the comments on MLB's facebook page when they post a video of Abreu. Half of them atleast are comments on how he needs to be tested for PEDs and the other half are just condemning with no evidence. I've noticed that too

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 09:01 PM) I remember when a couple of people thought he needed a little time in the minors to acclimatise. Imagine Jose Abreu in AAA jesus christ In April: 450 AVG, 22 HR, 58 RBI

"Abreu's good but he doesn't hit for average." He's hitting .299 "He has to walk more" Why should he walk more with a 299/31/83 power line "He sucks at fielding" 7th in baseball for 1st base fld%

31/83 leads baseball. also hitting .299

Now at .327, he is 2 PAs shy of qualifying.

83 RBI leads the majors for Jose

2 on nobody out

gla$$e$

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 08:34 PM) What if someone told you before spring training that by the trade deadline Conor Gillaspie would be hitting .328 in the majors and Matt Davidson .199 in AAA I'd never talk to that person ever again. Until now.

Beckham? Even you?!

Conor .328

Conor with another base hit. This is fun.

abreuuuu

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 08:16 PM) There they are! Reverse jinx! I was wondering why you were saying that. Good plan!

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 28, 2014 -> 12:21 PM) Eh, it's pretty close. Kershaw is basically slightly better on K%, GB% and K/BB ratio, but you can make an argument that facing the weak NL west and the weaker league in general helps in ways that don't get park / league adjusted. Basically IMO there is a clear tier, with: Kershaw Felix Sale ---- every else the differences in quality between Sale, Kershaw and Felix are almost indistinguishable but gun to my head I'd go: Kershaw, Sale, Felix. Chris Sale is really f***ing good however you slice it and we are lucky to watch him pitch every 5 days or so. I think Wainwright deserves inclusion in that list

Did Alou respond?

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 27, 2014 -> 10:02 PM) @philgrogers: John Danks to the Yankees, as reported by @JonHeymanCBS, makes sense but lack of pitching depth makes it tough call for White Sox. Accidentally read that first part as its own sentence..

QUOTE (OilCan @ Jul 27, 2014 -> 05:19 PM) Assuming the Sox don't resign Dunn for next year, which is a fair assumption (sarcasm), you can use that (some of it) for a play at Rusney. Or Shields/Scherzer
