April 16, 20196 yr Nick hitting .351 but I'm sure the critics will continue to Harp on something in regards to his start.

Still laughing bout that weeks later. Everybody remember when Hawk forced Big Bertha and El Canon in the same weak. That was cringeworthy
April 16, 20196 yr Robert single. 2-4, BB, RBI, R, SB Madrigal just got HBP. Edited April 16, 20196 yr by SoxAce

April 16, 20196 yr I wonder how aggressive the Sox are going to be with Madrigal. Birmingham might pose less of a challenge to him then other prospects.

April 16, 20196 yr I think they need to consider promoting Robert soon. A+ ball isn't providing a challenge.

I'm saying give it another month and if he still has a sub 400 OPS you gotta send him back down. Moral of the story is never trade with Brian Cashman if your name is Rick Hahn.

Were they all seeing eye singles, or dribblers that found a way through? Per Fangraphs his LD% prior to tonight's game was 22.6%, which was above the MLB average from 2002-14. After tonight (2 more line drives) it would be at 25.71%. Isn't that good?

There was a reason everyone hated it Blake Rutherford was a top 100 prospect a the time of the trade I suppose. He is nowhere near the top 200 right now and is trending downward with a bullet.

There was a reason everyone hated it They salary dumped Frazier (2 month rental) & Robertson off of a team that finished 67-95, and added in Tommy Kahnle who was having a career year and hasn't done anything since for a guy who was a 2016 1st Round Pick & Top 50 prospect (#37 MLB Pipeline, #45 Baseball America, #49 Baseball Prospectus) prior to the 2017 season. If the Sox traded a fairly good free agent to be player, a high priced closer (2 years $25 mill) with 2 years of control, and Jace Fry for Jarred Kelenic and a couple of meh prospects this year would you be upset? Kelenic was ranked #68, 56, and 63 prior to this season. Luis Robert was ranked #76, 40, and 45 prior to this season. Edited April 16, 20196 yr by Sox Fan In Husker Land
