Timmy just shut me up haha...only took like 4 hanging sliders for him to finally hammer one but at least he got it!!

 

That's one more than he usually hits.

Leury has earned himself a starting spot in '18.

Still have a month and a half left this year but as of now, absolutely.

Lol that dropped popup hit by Engel got him a double...i guess no one touched it so you can't really give out an error, but not sure it warrants a double either.

 

That's baseball and scoring

f*** that, should be Tilson's spot to lose if healthy!

Next spring training is going to be very very interesting. Not just for starting spots on the roster, but I doubt there will be a game where there won't be a player playing that is projected to be impacting the future competitive Sox team.

Who

While I was 100% joking about Tilson, it's going to be an interesting camp. There should be a ton of competition for spots and most of those will be fringe guys who may be playing for the best major league opportunity they'll ever get. And yes, most of these guys won't be on the next good Sox team, but if we can hit on even one diomand in the rough it will help.

Honestly, the positional players that are on the team now is probably the one you see starting 2018. Engel Anderson Abreu Avi Moncada Delmonico (DH) Davidson, Narvaez/Smith, Leury. Bench is Yolmer, Saly, Omar/Smith, outfielder (Tilson, Willy?) Not sure about yall, but I like that lineup for a team in its second rebuilding year (development phase).

 

That lineup is at least predictable...

 

Pitching is a whole other story and I expect to be horrendous.

 

I see Eloy forcing his way to the majors before Sept.

if he rakes at AA and AAA like he is at WS.

Who

 

Star-Tilson man, you know, legendary outfielder?

 

In other news, Jason is right on about Melky's love of the game.

Moncada's walks are so satisfying for a young player.

I realize the tank is on and the bullpen has yet to enter tonight's game...but it feels extra nice to string some decent play together against Houston. Would love to hang a series loss on them.

Nicky is all of a sudden my favorite player haha

Just please teach the man how to field.

Delmonico looks sensational. This lineup could easily be next year's main lineup

Wow go Timmy

Yessir!!! There ya go Timmy! Taking the ball the other way. I love it

I could get in on that too! Just has the look of a gamer...love the intensity he plays with and his aggressive short, compact swing. That grinder approach is contagious too.

It really is good to see. Nice to see young players coming together. Hope therecarw more youngsters ready to perform in a Sox uni

 

Apparently Jay Bruce from the Mets going to Cleveland...

Boy is this fun to watch

Just watched the TA double. That has to be one of his best swings of the year . f*** YEA. Show some signs kid.

This series is so baseball, of course we would be dominating the Astros.

Their reddit is a "fun" place right now.

 

If we can get some great hitting from Nicky and Yoan, and Tim/Avi/Jose can be .270-.290 hitters, our rebuild will be a glorious one. Yoan's OBP now at .357 with a .182 average. That is absurd.
