  1. Anything is better than Diekman and Joe Kelly
  2. How could a guy who practiced every day the same muscle movements be so awful. His pitches to some batters missed by 18 inches off the plate. There has got to be a single A player who would get better results.
  3. But it does demonstrate his versatility to be below average at so many positions.
  4. I like it. He will be good in the clubhouse also. He will be better than Harrison was
  5. Surprised the sox didnt bring in a guy from AAA to save some cash.
  6. My offseason plan was for the Sox to sign 1 marginal SP and a borderline minor leaguer while letting Abreu walk . I wanted to watch every other decent team shell out expensive contracts on actual good players that will allow them to compete for championships. I was hoping Hahn and JR would make the team worse (as if that was possible) in order to alienate fans like my wife and myself who travel from NC every other year for a couple games. Congrats Sox for carrying out my offseason plan perfectly. I no longer have to waste money to come to Chicago and I can stop watching games sooner rather than later in the year because we will be out of contention much earlier. Go Sox!!!
  7. I have no faith in Yoan, now prove me wrong
  8. Sheets has had some big hits this year. Not his best there but got on base.
  9. If you can trade grandal for a bucket of balls you consider that a win. The balls are more valuable right now.
  10. Just turned the game on the mlb app. Here comes the comeback
  11. Royals winner. Nice day for us. 2 twins losses and a guardians loss
  12. If Jose Abreu regressing is a .300 average, 20 HRs and 80-90 rbis that is still the best on the team. You have to keep him for another year. Jose is rarely injured and a good clubhouse guy. Sheets is the one guy who is really improving. It is obvious he knew he had to learn to go the opposite way and he right now is one of our most complete hitters. If he keeps it up the rest of the year I think you have to get him at bats against LHP to see what he can do. Maybe he becomes a good trade chip but right now he is possibly our best hitter and he is not injury prone. He is learning the OF, maybe he can get better in RF. This all goes back to poor drafting and putting the team together with so many of the same type of guys. Eloy, Vaughn, Sheets, Burger, Abreu are all DH/1B types. Get rid of Moncada would be my advice.
  13. They may play them but they are clear liabilities out there. Eloy and Vaughn are horrible outfielders that cost you runs and ultimately games. Grandal is not even close to being worth the 15 or so million we pay him, Seby is a more productive catcher at this point. Grandal has thrown out 17% of guys attempting to steal this year, down from 19% last year. He is not good, his defensive WAR is -.1 over his 3 years with the Sox. Sheets is a decent 1B and Abreu is OK. But those other 3 have no business being in the OF and catching.
  14. Brilliant move skipping your best pitcher for a guy who couldnt get an out. But of course that guy was Geared up! Another player made of brittle glass.
