South Side Fireworks Man

Wow Avi!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 09:25 PM) With the glut on the upcoming FA market...? Or play Abreu/Delmonico/Hayes there? Available first basemen include Alonso, Morrison, Hosmer, the resurgent Mitch Moreland, Lucas Duda and Mark Reynolds, all of whom are OPSing at least .824 this season. Bad timing for Carlos Santana to be in the midst of the worst season of his career, with his free agency surely affected by this glut and the prospect of him signing a one-year make-good deal likelier by the week. https://sports.yahoo.com/yu-darvish-free-ag...-014441512.html 2) Brewers have seven potential outfielders, any interest? Who would they want in return from the Sox? Kahnle? Ryan Cordell (who is crushing at Triple-A Colorado Springs and adds to the plethora of Brewers outfielders – him, Brinson, Ryan Braun, Domingo Santana, Hernan Perez, Keon Broxton, Brett Phillips – that will, at some point, warrant a trade.) 3) Finally, the Rangers could be a landing spot for Frazier...they need another bat, Beltre's battled health problems and age, can also DH and play 1B along with Gallo. Profar has struggled this year, as well as Napoli. Adding a good fielding, left handed hitting first baseman like Hosmer and moving Abreu to DH improves the defense, improves the offense, and helps keep Abreu healthy. Improving the defense at 1B also improves the defense of the SS and third baseman, as many of their potential throwing errors are eliminated and even converted to outs.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 19, 2017 -> 11:48 PM) Abreu is our 1bman May God have mercy on our souls.

And there goes the lead.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 01:45 PM) Abreu just can't catch sometimes. Also not sure why Renteria let Swarzak start this inning Sox definitely need to target a first baseman in trade talks. Abreu should be their DH. Not only improve the defense but also keep Abreu healthy.

Anderson's defense is bad.

I loved Jimmy Piersall. RIP Jimmy, you were the best.

Robertson nails it down! Nice win! I love it. Now let's take care of Sale tomorrow!

The Melk Man delivers again!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 29, 2017 -> 02:50 PM) I don't know why they are bunting anyway, but if the first 2 attempts did not show you it wasn' t going to work, it boggles the mind. That's usually something you only see in the NL with a pitcher batting.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 29, 2017 -> 02:49 PM) Why are we bunting with two strikes? I love what Renteria brings to the table overall, but good god his love for bunting sucks. He must have absolutely no confidence in Engel as a hitter.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 29, 2017 -> 02:48 PM) What a joke...go coach softball No bunting in softball.

Ugh Engel.

Sox tie it up!

Love Yolmer!

Nice win.

Nice play by Frazier.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2017 -> 02:37 PM) Moncada is not that bad on defense We'll see. He probably won't be anywhere near as good as Sanchez, however. Regardless, maybe the Sox should have Anderson and L Garcia swap positions.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 28, 2017 -> 02:30 PM) This...totally this. I can't fathom how anyone would automatically assume Anderson would be this poor of a defender going forward. Like you said, he was awesome last year and the metrics agreed. I heard he was pretty bad defensively in the minors. Then when he came up last year I couldn't believe how good he played. The way he's been playing so far this season is more of what I expected of him. The Sox defense is really going to take a hit when Moncada replaces Sanchez at 2B. Yikes.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 28, 2017 -> 02:20 PM) Sooner they move him to CF, the better. He's unplayable out there I was happy last year when it looked like I was wrong about Anderson. Now I'm sorry that it appears I was right.

Sox are gonna shell him.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 23, 2017 -> 06:55 PM) We don't really need any more 1B/DH types anyway. We desperately need a good first baseman that can hit and field well.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 22, 2017 -> 08:56 PM) Leury Garcia currently second in Sox line-up with an 819 OPS. Never saw that one coming. Alex Rios was worth more than Greg thought. AJ told Hawk that Leury had the talent when the Sox traded for him.

Leury!

The first rule of baseball ... catch the ball! :-D
