Sam Antonacci Appreciation Thread

Featured Replies

The Chairman of the Board has been a beast since getting called up. Me and Ray Ray have long been on the Antonacci train. I'm glad he's playing so well. Let's look at some of his stats.

wRC+ - 128

xwOBA - .399

OBP - .381

They've thrown him into a position his never normally played (outfield). Would be nice if he could play his natural position, but I'm not sure if that will happen.

All hail Antonacci!

This song does not apply to the Ant-Man.

I thought appreciation threads came after a player departs. Like we need a Lenny Sosa appreciation thread.

Nice job, Antonacci. You have many years ahead of you until retirement, unlike Ron’s horrible nickname for you that should have been retired by now.

I love how many different nicknames he has. I prefer to call him the second half of his last name "Notchie" with an exaggerated Chicago accent

i never would've thought that Antonacci would end up being a better version of Meidroth, all while playing a new position that he had very little prior experience

was Meidroth a higher ranked prospect by all the major sites than antonacci? after he was drafted and during his minor career

About the same...

Maybe Antonacci was actually lower until this last calendar year, comparatively.

Neither were surefire Top 100 types because of perceived limitations.

Meidroth was around 8 I think on the Boston Top 10 at the time of the trade

Poor man's Dustin Pedroia.

That’s what I thought, I said s%*#, they traded Sam.

How many years will it take Caufield to accept his L on Antonacci. His hatred fuels my fanhood more.
