MLB is a fundamentally flawed league without revenue sharing AND a salary cap. All teams need to adhere to the same rules. Instead we have fans wanting billionaires with the deepest pockets to buy the local franchise and then spend like drunken sailors.

Eloy has a knack for delivering when the Sox need it. Not every time, but many times. I hope he rakes against the cubs. Eloy and Burger are the heart and soul of this team - joyful players that show their emotions on the field and are easy to root for.

Big Frank is a Hall of Famer, no one -to one comparison intended...buy Eloy is a very large man who nonetheless has a good eye at the plate... .276 batting average over five years.....276 is not good for the big man? I think it is and further that Andrew Vaughn's .252. BA is acceptable unless the Sox have an alternative....and it isn't Sheets. So I want to keep Eloy, Robert, Burger, and Vaughn, but not many others. Unlike some other fans, I do not fall in love with certain players or hold grudges against them. Trade any or all of them, but be careful what you wish for. Things could get worse next season....a lot worse.

Do you count the latest one day absence and the appendectomy this year against Eloy....or the injury celebrating a home run...or the injury and surgery because he reached over the fence to catch a home run? Give the kid a break. Al major league players sustain injuries. Eloy has been switched to DH and it appears that he is in better physical condition now. We need his bat in the line-up or we don't have a chance, this year or next year. You don't deal away superstar players or those who have that upside because they are not easy to replace.

Eloy is the type of bat we have not seen since Big Frank. He has a great eye at the plate and immense power to all fields.

If only we had a reliable bullpen and a legit Closer the Sox could be competitive the rest of the way.

Thankfully X Rays are negative on AV's foot for any fracture. We cannot afford to lose his bat if we are going to make a bit of a run. And my bad, I thought he did not start against Verlander because of the tough match-up. Maybe AV needs an even more substantial guard for his foot when he is at the plate.

Apparently obviously referring to his "Hi mom" routine. Parsing like that is such BS. Give it a break already man.

Eloy raking again. He has been great pretty much since recovering from an appendectomy. He's a great kid, apparently a good son, and a fan favorite. Love to see him put up numbers like he did in the second half last season and as always, torch the cubs.

Why sit AVaughn against Verlander ? He has to learn how to hit tough right handers and given where the Sox are in the standings this would have been good practice against one of the best.

I hate when our Sox get blown out early. Not fun to watch, that's for sure.

I'd like to see Stone retire now. Give someone else a chance at the job.

I guess you have to watch the games to fully evaluate players rather than just immersing in stats.

Eloy is a tall man with a large frame, at least by mlb standards. DHing doesn't help him to stay warm between at bats so he has to get on a stationary bike and stretch his hamstrings out in the clubhouse between at-bats. He also has to watch his weight and avoid doing things that have caused issues with his legs, like stretching on his last step to 1B to beat a throw. You can banter on about him being "injury prone" and that therefore, he should be traded, but you won't soon replace his value to the team and the excitement he brings to Sox fans with every at-bat. I hope he returns in time for the crosstown series. He seems to like hitting cub pitching very much.

You only go to one game a year so Hahn doesn't care what you think.

Sox are not going to trade Eloy, Vaughn Robert or Cease. So sorry.

Atlanta (and other teams) have the scouting report on AV. Unfortunately it does not look like he is adjusting his approach.

Yea get rid of Eloy...one of the most talented hitters on the team. WTF kind of stupid is that?

Let's go Sox. Another win at Atlanta would be unexpected but I would love to see it. Need a few home runs with men on and a great start by Cease.

If they are hitting into 4 double plays, maybe try elevating the ball, bunting, or try to coax a few walks.

I appreciate the man's humility at a tough time for him. Let's give him a chance to return to form. He was a great player, never forget that.

Vaughn and Moncada will not be traded because no team wants them.

Frequent posters should realize that after a while, those who read this forum kinda of get an idea what their opinions are.

Try to mind your own business folks. Meanwhile, I hope Gio and Cease return to the Sox as our 1 and 2 pitchers with the big contracts they deserve. They are both going to good for several more years.
