Uh......a top 10-20 hitter in MLB? If that ends up being true, then Rick Hahn won the offseason.

Think about it. The top 10-20 hitters in MLB are very good, but Abreu can easily get there.

What time is the 30/30?

 

 

Is the 30 for 30 available online or on demand?

Here are your top 30 hitters last year by wOBA: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=...0&sort=16,d

 

Bautista was 20th at .259/.358/.498/.856. If Abreu puts up that over a full season, while being either a neutral or good defensive 1B (say 0-10 defensive runs value), we are probably talking about a 4-5 WAR player.

 

McCutchen was 10th at .317/.404/.508/.912. If Abreu puts up that over a full season, while doing the same defensively, he's a 5-6 WAR player, and perhaps more.

http://m.mlb.com/video/v31442799/bosstl-do...eld-call-stands Scroll down from there . There will be 4 video's dated 03/06/2014 from 30/30 , Prediction, Ventura/Beckham talking about Abreu, Konerko with Plesac and Eaton on drag bunting.

 

There was another part about Sox lineup questions but I can't find that part since 30/30 is broken up into sections during the MLB Tonight broadcast.

Abreu is going to be the man. Top 10 MVP this year. Even better in 2015.

http://m.mlb.com/video/v31385513/sanchez-c...uery=Jose+Abreu Many of you may not have seen this interview with Abreu from 2/25 . It's in Spanish but has English subtitles and is over 11 minutes long.

I'm having trouble viewing it, any interesting tidbits?

Where the f*** is Bellisario. This is starting to get weird.

It isn't weird with him, because this exact same thing has happened to him at least two previous seasons. He's also had other off-field issues. Apparently he's yet to get his act together.

 

The Sox were saying last week it wasn't a problem, YET. But I am thinking pretty soon he'll find himself out of a bullpen job. There is probably a clause in his contract about having to actually show up for work.

 

Belisario is en route, apparently.

RHP Daniel Webb back today. Was gone for week because of death in family.

It was Webb's mom. Very sad.

Wow. Sad indeed.

Daniel Webb threw a bullpen today and Don Cooper was very happy with it. Said Webb will get a day off and then throw in a game Sunday

Both Nate Jones and Scott Downs make their Cactus League debut Saturday against the Diamondbacks

Seems there is some buzz picking up nationally for your Chicago White Sox,

 

Eaton, Abreu, Garcia and a healthy Danks seem to have piqued interest.

ESPN radio was talking briefly about it and MLB home plate on Sirius said they could surprise.

Projected bullpen pieces coming together it would appear this weekend. Enough time left that the early absences shouldn't matter a whole lot.

 

Lindy is the one to worry about, I suppose. Those obliques need time.
