Avi had 5 years, Seby has had 5 ABs.

He hurt it near the end of February last year, so about 15 months ago, give or take. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mlb.com/amp/news/oregon-state-s-nick-madrigal-fractures-hand-c267188408.html

No.

Dallas Keuchel or Craig Kimbrel aren't bringing fans out to the park like Harper does. Not even close.

Yeah man, you should chill out a bit.

Andy Masur will fill in if one of them is off, but it's predominantly Ed & DJ. I think DJ is fine, I think Ed leaves a lot to be desired and would love for the team to bring on some new blood in the PBP department.

Top 5 of Adley, Witt, Vaughn, Abrams, and Greene remained the same.

Some Hostetler quotes from today:

For anyone interested.

I am also intrigued to see how this plays out.

Maybe a separate topic on the Future Sox board would be the proper place?

What does this have to do with the games played today my man?

Here's the $.

In response to one of the many letters they write to JR?

2020 ST position battle here we come!

Yoan to Catcher, heard it here first.

It'll be great for positional versatility to have the two of them rotate between SS & C to make sure they don't get worn out.

Eloy should take Nicky's spot.

I understand this, but I wasn't making an argument, I was putting out a hypothetical question based on previous history of his here. Hypothetically had he been brought back, he may have very well come into the season fully healthy and posted the same numbers. Or he may not have. It's something we'll never know. And like I said in my original post, I'm glad he's doing well and it sucks he couldn't do it here more often, but it seemed to be time to move on for both parties. You don't need to agree with that view, it's just how I see the situation. Everything on a message board isn't about winning arguments per se, it can be about posing questions for discussion purposes.

The times they are a changin.

How is that a unfair or a poor take? Because he's hitting how he is in TB now does not mean he'd doing the exact same thing here had he stayed. Avi ALWAYS got hurt here. How is it unfair to put into question the players injury history when it's as poor as it was here? To me, it seems fair to bring up but I'd love an actual explanation as to why it's a poor and bad take and not just fanboi ramblings about a player who's no longer here.

He was also playing as like 3+ years younger or so than EVERYONE ELSE he went up against at like every damn level. Imagine what he'll be able to do once he matures. Dude seems to be a freak.

Yeah this could be very possible as well. Could've given him the kick in the ass that he needed to get going.

I just think it goes to show us how insanely competent other ORGs are run OR how incredibly incompetent the Sox are.
