I've posted this before, but I'll iterate it again... Jose's protection for his time in Chicago. Adam Dunn Conor Gillaspie Melky Cabrera Adam Laroche Matt Davidson Daniel Palka Avasail Garcia Todd Frazier Yonder Alonso Throw him in that Boston lineup and he'll be a monster. Throw him in a great lineup, and he'll be a monster. Today he had the best hitter on the team behind him, and look how he produced. Don't sleep on his bat in a great lineup. Boston would absolutely love someone like Abreu to plug in at first/DH

You just want him to be ranked #1 for prospects next year... Seriously though, I don't care what they do. Both ways has there pros and cons.

Maybe Mercedes? That guy has been pretty good offensively in his minor career, specifically this year. With shaky defense there are questions there, however, the guy has proven to me that he should be called up at least on the offensive end...but with no call up he must be brutal at catcher...however they keep throwing him there so, so I dunno. Any other pitchers shown any reason to be called up besides some of the dredge we've seen?

Robert keeps proving he's playing a childs game in the minors...

Adam Dunn Conor Gillaspie Melky Cabrera Adam Laroche Matt Davidson Daniel Palka Avasail Garcia Todd Frazier Yonder Alonso That has been Jose Abreus protection for his time in the Majors...The fact that he has put up some semi respectable numbers with that shit filth that ownership has given this team is fucking comendable. Re-sign that man and give him a fucking team to play for....

Reeds life of being a Major League Baseball player hangs on the balance of him not looking as bad as he did that at bat. He has to know this right?...I mean at least try, he looked lost on that last pitch and missed it by a foot.

Back to back Kansas City specials lol

Must've hit it 150 mph or the CF was playing too far in...

Add in Vaughn and Anderson...Madrigal as the cherry on top.

This team can afford to give Collins plenty of time to show he can be an MLB player this year. That's why he's here... and not in AAA. Hopefully he gets some consistent at bats to build on something. I'm surprised some of the fans made it this far through the rebuild if they're throwing Collins away that fast...some people.

It's better to have them and never need their use, than it is to not have them, and have someone suffer unnecessarily I think.

Yeah, and he won a World Series getting traded lol. I'm pretty sure Jose would be fine with a trade if he goes on to win a World Series...And I'm also sure he would jump at the chance to re-sign with the Whitesox in the offseason.

How is Vaughn at first? If he's just adequate, maybe they can throw Vaughn in left to learn that position as well, then you have a better triangle of Eloy/Abreu/Vaughn. When Abreu leaves, you can plug in Collins/Burger/whoever

I agree. He's worth so much to this team...you'll have to give us an insane deal to take him from the Sox.

Gotta give the kid a chance to work out of his mess. That's part of learning and gaining experience at the MLB level. I'm pretty sure Cease knows he has ample time to work out his kinks on the club, now he has Cooper to help him everyday.

Maybe he didn't know what happened he just thought the worst. Don't want to risk messing it up more by walking off the field. Precautionary

I'm thinking High ankle sprain, hopefully

Escobar, Mendick, and Palka should be up. DFA Alonso, send Rondon down, IL Anderson. What do we do with the relievers pitchers though?

Hopefully we get something after the game. I hope for the best, prepared for the worst already, being a Sox fan and all...

Lopez and Jimenez get more leeway...however, Alonso, Nova, Banuelos, Cordell, Herrera(unfortunate surprise), Rondon, Ruiz, and Despaigne can all be replaced.

Yep, they're putting up negative WAR....doesn't that mean they need to be replaced?

They also played that game in 2004/5 with AJ, Iguchi, and Dye and won big time. You can go the big $30mil route and lose big time as well.

He's filler(fodder). Only excuse is for him to patch a hole while Cease and co. climb up the ladder. I agree though, it's insulting that he was the one chosen to be the patch...certainly there were other options...

a non strikeout out...yea!
