QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 09:39 PM) People keep bringing up trading Abreu. If they trade him, you have to ask for a top 10 prospect and then some. He’s great Top 10 in all of baseball or organizational top 10? Top 10 in baseball I doubt, maybe top 50. But I’m asking for multiple top 10 from a single team no doubt.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 09:26 PM) You're probably the same guy that gets butt hurt over a TD dance in football. How about you just sit Donaldson's ass on the bench instead of putting him on base. Nope, td celebrations are great. But if you choose to celebrate in an outwardly disrespectful way you better keep yourself head on a swivel because a safety or linebacker is going to try and take your head off. Fastball in the ribs is the equivalent. I miss the days of when a pitcher could actually be an intimidator in baseball. You’re probably the same guy that’s wants less contact in sports and more participation trophies. Back on topic: Jose is still great

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 09:17 PM) Meh. Sox homered right after him and got the last laugh. I just don't mind some trash talk. Ya let's hit the f***ing guy because he blew a whistle? Get over yourself. Hitting a guy in the ribs is a part of baseball. Get over yourself

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 2, 2018 -> 09:10 PM) Daryl Boston and some guys laughed at Donaldson. Sometimes people in baseball are too uptight. The look on Donaldson's face wasn't a joke...it was him being a d bag. Just because a few guys laughed doesn't mean it wasn't a deliberate attempt of disrespect by Donaldson. I'll be surprised if he doesn't end up with a baseball in the ribs at some point in the season

Good job Yolmer

Overall a nice job by Lopez...national championship starts now but I'm tempted to leave the Sox on in the hopes some one in the pen takes Donaldson's head off

Yolmer accidentally made that play trying not to die...just kidding, nice play ...only sorta kidding tho

What the....

Jose is flat out 1 of the best pure hitters in baseball...don't care what anyone says

Ok...sorry Tim Anderson.

Dont love the call of a low slider on 3-2 to Grichick.

Do him a favor and call it an error...even tho it really was

Tim Anderson demonstrating exactly to never field a ground ball...keep doing that and it will be an error sooner rather than later

Yolmer! Dummy

Don’t care what his velocity is...throw some damn fastballs Yikes...another walk. He might not make it out of this inning

According to Yahoo Avi is out of the lineup tonight? Just took him out of my fantasy lineup because it says he's scratched. Leury and Delmonico in. I saw the twitter post with Avi in the lineup...is yahoo just wrong?

My guess is that he’ll be bouncing between AAA and the majors...no idea why so many are high on Delmonico. Just not enough of a track record consistently hitting well to think that he’s a major league player in my opinion, and not sure his D is good enough to keep him as a bench player...hopefully he can prove me wrong and he sticks with the team but I’ll be surprised if he’s ever more than the 25th man on the roster.

I'm going to say Ian Clarkin emerges as a true #3 starter candidate with a an era under 3.5 in AA

Very good deal. We needed bullpen pieces and got them for virtually nothing. When was Jake Peter ever going to beat out Sally and Yolmer?

Looks good and trim, sweet beard too. Not claiming to be an expert... but shouldn't those hands still be moving a little less? I was always taught to keep the hands back and load up sooner. Just seems like he'd be easy to get off balance with all of those moving parts in his swing.

Avi, Rodon, Robert, Cease, Rutherford, Collins, Burdi

I don't feel like reading through 100 pages...is there an actual idea of what a package would be? With only 1 year left its really hard to judge. Wonder if Fulmer would be a good headliner with maybe a Spencer Adams and Micker? Something like even close? Maybe throw in Yolmer...

With the state of our bullpen and being in full rebuild I see no reason to not draft an arm and hope they can stick in the pen. There are always big arms with potential, just a matter of picking the right 1...easier said than done of course.

What if the Brewers were interested in Fulmer? Which 1, if any, of their OF'ers would you trade Fulmer for?

Santana, Broxton, Brinson, and Brett Philips all could be available. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/12/gian...go-santana.html Personally I’d throw feelers out and see what Brett Phillips would cost. Although Santana is also very intriguing with 4 years of control. Not sure what kind of starting pitching they are looking for though...
