Jose Abreu

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 (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 16, 2014 -> 08:49 PM) Smart move. No hurry given his service time, make him prove that he is legit. I think he's already proven himself, but I agree that it's smart.

Is 3B not considered a position battle? Or LF?

Hey guys!!! Talk about a pain in the ass!!! Am I right? :

Our defense can only get better but it will still be below average.

John Danks says ball coming out of his hand this year vs last year is like "night and day". Adam Eaton has grown one inch. Flowers and Konerko refer to each other as "Kid (Flowers)" and "Dad (Konerko)".

I say Abreu vs Tanaka vs The Field

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 08:14 PM) Also I should point out that Ervin Santana on a 3-year deal during the age of 31-33 somehow is too old whereas 34-year-old Dunn needs to play so we can maybe save a few pennies. Ha. At least pick one or the other. Shut up about Ervin Santana.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 07:30 PM) DeAza has been a 2.0, 2.9, 1.7 oWAR player the last 3 years and his defense outside of last season has at least been passable. He's only making a little over $4M and is under control for 2 years, and is a lefty bat. He actually has *trade value* which is a good thing, not a bad thing. The Sox actually chose to tender him a contract when they didn't have to, and could get out of his contract in a heartbeat if they wanted to and still pick up a prospect, even if it's not an exciting one. And none of that is true for Dunn. De Aza is one of the worst baserunners I've ever seen and his defense is absolutely atrocious. You're telling me those aren't problems?

Dunn and De Aza are both problems.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 10:20 PM) Can we add Ervin and Santana to the language filter? But what if I want to talk about Carlos or Johan?

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 08:37 PM) So basically what your saying is that your initial statement about Santana was bulls***. Good. Nothing personal Mr. Abreu, I'm very happy about your addition to the lineup, but I find it necessary to make sure people get the story straight on Santana. He's a quality pitcher overall. My initial statement was a joke, but I proved that Santana only kills us because our offense sucks.
