Jose Abreu

He certainly doesn't deserve death threats for pitching poorly, but there's also this: https://deadspin.com/trevor-bauer-has-been-harassing-a-woman-for-more-than-a-1831545503

Delmonico

Santana is the only real answer there, and even if he remains at this pace, Abreu would be the backup

Self-explanatory question. I've seen it discussed in various game threads and figured I'd make a poll. My guess is Abreu as a starter (the AL 1B crop is awful) and Anderson as a bench guy. I think Moncada will be deserving but gets snubbed.

Fathom? Joyful?!

That, and also the weird start time

Excellent turn on the double play

Robert in RF today. Gonzalez in CF

Joe Borchard

He crushed that ball. I wish he'd bat somewhere 1-5 every day

No, this was for Frare and Engel. Jones was already shelved

Also, the Sox are #1 in attendance among AL Central teams

The Sox outdrew the Cubs today

Doesn't Matt Kemp have a broken rib or something?

It was an aberration in the sense that Anderson isn't gonna be a .375 hitter. He's already well below that. But even in this "slump" of sorts, he's still making pretty good contact.

Moncada has a 127 wRC+ and you're trying to use him as a cautionary tale?

That one was a rocket too

Happiest day for the White Sox rebuild since the fateful day he was called up in 2017.

I don't think Vieira can come back so soon since he was just optioned and there's no injury. I'll go Burr and Frare/Foster

His contact hasn't really regressed, but his BABIP is starting to drop a little, as expected. Just the luck evening out. So it's definitely encouraging to see him walk in the meantime. I think our all-stars will be Abreu and one of Anderson/Moncada, with the other getting snubbed. I guess Colome or Herrera could be in that conversation too.

I could see the argument for Foster, but a healthy Hamilton and Johnson are about as exciting as you can get when it comes to relief prospects

yoan moncada

https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=foster002mat Johnson has not pitched in AA yet, but at 23 and having dominated A+, he could be here in September if he returns soon Hamilton has been awful but he also isn't totally healthy

I had never heard of him prior to last week. Such a random guy to be Hank Aaron down in A ball
