Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 02:11 PM) Doesn't change the fact that he isn't a good baserunner. What? Why would they make it inaccurate on purpose? I'm saying someone who's primarily a hitter should have a weighted batting WAR, the Gordon Beckhams of the world should have a weighted fielding WAR, the Adam Eatons a weighted baserunning WAR.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 03:56 PM) I haven't looked through this whole thread so forgive me if this was posted already: It has been 3 times lol. Don't worry, I'm one of the three.

Seager should've been the only winner. He outperformed Abreu.

Should be no rain until 10

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 11:21 AM) No, it tells me that he plays 1B. He's tied for 27th at 0.9 WAR. He's been phenomenal offensively, but his defense has been poor, he's a mediocre base runner (in other words, he's slow), he's hitting .260, and his OBP is .330. WAR is an incredibly reliable statistic and he's still currently on pace for a 5.5-6 WAR season, which is very, very good. We signed him to hit, not to be a good baserunner. His batting war should be somewhat weighted because that's what he's here to do.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 11:06 AM) Abreu also on top of the CBS stock watch http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-he...-a-steal-so-far I also found this one pretty funny. Jordan Danks is on there twice?

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 11:03 AM) I'd vote for Abreu now, but I'm a Sox fan. WAR isn't my thing, but Abreu is 10th right now for just offense. I'll look on June 1st. That should tell you that WAR isn't the most reliable stat.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 10:58 AM) Early for that, but if Abreu ends up 50/150, probably have to screw Trout for the third year in a row. Just by looking at the numbers, who else even comes close to Abreu now? Just Pujols and Colabello, and Abreu has better numbers.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Apr 28, 2014 -> 09:49 AM) Can't wait for those 49 and 79 All Star Jerseys. And at this rate, 10 and maybe even 1 ASG jerseys.

It's early, but right now, Jose Abreu is AL MVP. No doubt.

Chris Colabello does not qualify as a rookie.

Tanaka pitched well tonight. He'll get ROTM because of East Coast bias.

The bad news is that we will see a lot of intentional walks this year. Well, I guess that can be good news.

MIIIILLLLLER MIIIIILLLLLEER

Ventura on Carroll: "He's gonna get another opportunity."

Sox win!

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 03:58 PM) That was 2000 Hawk. "02 or 03" haha

Swinging at ball 4 again...

Do it for Abreu, Marcus!

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 03:53 PM) Yesterday was my least favorite game of the season. Today was favorite game of the season. Baseball rules. What about one of our 16-2(ish) wins or the walk-off GS?

Someone get a hit so Abreu can bat!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 03:48 PM) Webb ruins his 0 ER Even though he already allowed runs, didn't the run get charged to Scott?

I don't want Keppinger back- I was just wondering what he's doing.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 03:48 PM) You can't do that. QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 03:48 PM) I don't think picks can be traded in MLB. I know, that's the point. We're not getting Rodon.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 27, 2014 -> 03:42 PM) Stony also hyping up Rodon. Missed that, no chance we get Rodon unless we trade picks. I know you can't trade picks, that's the point.
