June 18, 201411 yr Dan Hayes @DanHayesCSN Jose Abreu didn't run on a wild pitch/passed ball after a 7th inning K. Robin Ventura said Abreu had been spoken to. Not concerned.

June 18, 201411 yr Abreu has quickly changed from Miguel Cabrera at the plate, to Alfonso Soriano up there. Extremely dangerous in the zone, sprays line drives all over the field, but doesn't have a prayer on low breaking balls and is lazy at times. Edited June 18, 201411 yr by Chilihead90

He's like the Yankees version of Max Scherzer. Yeah well when you strikeout as many guys as he strikes out and generally don't go that much over 100 pitches, he won't have many complete games. It's stupid anyway. Look at how many complete games Justin Verlander has. He has absolutely nothing to show for it other than starting a massive 6 year contract next season and looking like toast.
June 18, 201411 yr Mike Olt 1,000,000,000,000/1 Yeah, there would be pretty long odds on any Cubs player ever winning American League Rookie of the Year.
June 18, 201411 yr QUOTE (glangon @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 03:40 AM) Mike Olt 1,000,000,000,000/1 Probably perfect for the AL rookie of the year. He could always get traded to an AL Club, hit 40 homers in 3 months, and win it, but yeah, a quadrillion to one is probably safe odds. /bets $1 on Mike Olt for AL ROTY

He's like the Yankees version of Max Scherzer. He actually has two complete games already and averages over 7 innings per start.
June 18, 201411 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 09:00 AM) He actually has two complete games already and averages over 7 innings per start. You and your facts.
June 18, 201411 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 03:00 PM) He actually has two complete games already and averages over 7 innings per start. I never checked the stats but whenever I've payed attention to him pitching its usually between 6 and 6.2 innings pitched. It's nice too see he has 2 complete games.

June 18, 201411 yr Dan Hayes @DanHayesCSN 7m Robin Ventura is certain that Jose Abreu knows not running after the strikeout was a mistake. Abreu admitted as much today. #WhiteSox Doug Padilla @ESPNChiSox 13m Abreu owned up to his blunder when he failed to run Tues. "I obviously made a mistake ... It's something I will fix."
June 18, 201411 yr Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 35s Abreu is third-fastest player in MLB history to 20 career homers behind Wally Berger (51) and Mark McGwire (56) South Side Sox @SouthSideSox 45s Jose Abreu just added Tim Hudson to his home run log. Previous victims include Verlander (twice), Kershaw, Price and Archer.
June 18, 201411 yr Christopher Kamka @ckamka 1m #WhiteSox - only franchise in MLB history with 4 different Cuban-born players with a 20+ HR season (Minoso, A.Ramirez, Viciedo, Abreu) Jon Morosi @jonmorosi 3m Jose Abreu's HR off Tim Hudson hit the back wall of home bullpen on a line. One of hardest-hit line-drive homers I've ever seen.
June 18, 201411 yr Doug Padilla @ESPNChiSox 55s Abreu is also the 3rd fastest in any season to the 20 HR mark in Sox history. Thomas and Thome were faster. Chicago White Sox @whitesox 1m Abreu (58 games) is the third-fastest player in MLB history to reach 20 home runs. Wally Berger (51) and Mark McGwire (56). Phil Rogers @philgrogers 1m Cuban oracle Peter Bjarkman predicted Jose Abreu could break Mark McGwire's rookie HR record. He's on pace for 45, 4 shy of McGwire.
June 18, 201411 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 02:00 PM) Is that counting DL stint? It is games played by the individuals.
June 18, 201411 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 18, 2014 -> 02:00 PM) It is games played by the individuals. The "pace" though basically predicts another DL stint for Abreu. So his "pace" for games played is much lower than it might actually be if he stays healthy the rest of the year.
June 24, 201411 yr If he stays on this pace and plays in 140 games (has played in 63 of our 77, and likely will receive 7-10 off days), then he'll go 49/133. Has anyone else ever had those exact HR/RBI numbers? I thought Pujols, but he was 49/137.
