Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Jake @ Feb 26, 2014 -> 05:26 PM) Of course, Flowers tested positive 8 years ago for god knows what 8 years ago? No wonder I didn't know, he was playing Rookie Ball.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 26, 2014 -> 04:49 PM) So Flowers was but isn't, and Cervelli was and is? Evidence of this? Also remember, Nieto had a PED suspension. Phegley I suppose you can assume is clean, given that with his medical issues, messing with his blood chemistry could be suicidal. Phegley is an exception, and to be honest I had never heard of Flowers being on PEDs before five minutes ago. It's actually true. Forget the Flowers part- I still don't want Cervelli.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 26, 2014 -> 04:39 PM) I didn't think Pablo Ozuna was such a bad guy. It would also mean getting rid of Flowers, but I don't think many would mind that. I just don't care for Cervelli because he's not that good. He apparently started juicing after his White Sox days. And Flowers isn't on PEDs

Don't want PED users on this team. Keep Cervelli as far away as possible.

Elmore and Keppinger for Murphy?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 26, 2014 -> 03:47 PM) i think he was under the impression that you started this thread http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...t=0&start=0 But, it was Lillian Yeah, wasn't even me

QUOTE (scs787 @ Feb 26, 2014 -> 02:18 PM) There goes soxtalks "Jose Abreu" idea that they wanna reunite Eaton and Elmore. As for Cleto...Meh. He's got a big arm 96-99 on the FB....Maybe Coop'll fix em. EDIT.....REALLY need to post first and look things up later. Guys beat me to the punch 5 minutes ago....But wasn't it "Jose Abreu" and not Lillian? Is this directed towards me?

Elmore trade looming.

Can we merge this thread with the other very similar one so that I don't have to keep opening two to remember which one I recently commented on? #TheStruggle

QUOTE (AJUribe @ Feb 24, 2014 -> 04:52 PM) OF: Yoenis Cespedes OF: Carlos Gomez OF: Yasiel Puig 1B:Edwin Encarnacion 2B:Dustin Pedroia SS:Derek Jeter 3B:Evan Longoria C:Buster Posey SP:Matt Moore SP:Stephen Strasburg SP:Felix Hernandez RP:Grant Balfour How can you like Puig?

Carlos Gomez, Curtis Granderson, Brad Ziegler.

Other than the obvious Buehrle, Pierzynski- Rios. Always felt like he got a bad rap and I really enjoyed him here with the exception of the 13/44 year. Still a 5-tool player who is a beast on my fantasy teams.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 19, 2014 -> 07:35 AM) Why did Frank get all prissy on Twitter earlier? What rookie was compared to him? Yes, it was Abreu.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Feb 22, 2014 -> 11:44 PM) Everyone on Soxtalk would hate this, but I'd trade the Mariners Chris Sale for Taijuan Walker, James Paxton, Tyler Pike, Stefan Romero, and DJ Peterson. I'd do that if we also got one of Franklin or Ackley. Maybe switch Romero or Pike out.

That being said, De Aza and Rienzo and Dunn for Franklin and a AAA guy (not enough for them?)

Why would you want Montero? He just put on 40 lbs

QUOTE (Dunt @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 07:04 PM) So who from the outfield is getting traded? Aleyan Vicieaza.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 06:39 PM) He's walking, can't be that hunched over if he's supposedly 4 inches taller and Dayan looks 2-3 inches taller .in the photo. I read Avi made Abreu look small so maybe Abreu isn't as big as we've been led to believe. He looks like he's in that awkward 'just took a step and began to laugh as I took that step which caused me to hunch over but it cannot be determined via a photograph' phase.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 06:04 PM) How come Viciedo listed at 5'11" looks taller than Abreu listed at 6"3" ? Because Abreu's hunched over...

I read this thinking it meant starting pitcher. I was ready to jump in on the whole fight and everything.

"We lay it on thick!" Not bad.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 19, 2014 -> 10:00 PM) sounds like a waste of time to me. Sammy Sosa didn't learn English and look at how many home runs he hit He's doing it to communicate with the media and teammates (but mainly media, don't ask me why)

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 19, 2014 -> 08:14 PM) Do they speak a common language? No, but Abreu is learning English a couple hours per day.

Abreu is like, 2X Sale's weight

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 17, 2014 -> 04:31 PM) Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst 7h And this: Polled 23 execs for spring preview. Their 3 best free-agent signings: 1) McCann, 2) Hudson, 3) Jose Abreu http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/10444000...-preview-survey … No Tanaka. I like it. But Hudson? Really?
