I would've never bet against Anderson. He's a bad dude with a world of confidence. Regardless MM would look great at 3B still

What a god damn play

Riiiight

Robert singles in his third AB

I still hate you Alonso you f***

Once again maybe he didn't want to play for the Sox. Maybe he wanted to play for a playoff caliber team.

I was wanting this year to be fun and competitive with growth from the young guys with one last top 10 pick for the rebuild. It's looking like it could be that way. Anderson is playing really well, Jimenez is probably worse than we all thought but the homers he's hit have been impressive + his eye is improving, Moncada's ops is over .800 and Giolito looks really good. The Giants finished 2018 with 73 wins and have the 10th pick in the draft in 2019. The Sox are going to end up winning 77-78 games, imo, and that will net them a top 15 pick, which wasn't what I hoped for but with the 4 players I mentioned playing/pitching well, I'll gladly substitute their performances for the higher pick. Hopefully when Cease comes up, he also impresses and they can get to 82 wins.

Madrigal has been fine lately

Madrigal Robert Moncada Jimenez Vaughn f*** me that looks really good

Yeah, keeping Narvaez over signing McCann + not getting Colome in return would have been genius on Hahn's behalf

Random- do HBP's count when calculating WHIP?

I would, but I don't think the FO will unfortunately. At this point I'm trying to think like them

Robert made an out. f***ing awful

His OPS is over .900 in that park. I'd say that's pretty close to demolishing because Eloy's was right around there, too. Either way, I agree. Send him to AAA to finish the year on 7/1 and then have him start 2020 in Chicago in CF. Get another top 12 pick and let's do the damn thing.

Burton had hernia surgery recently and is out indefinitely. Any clue on a true timeline here, @ptatc?

Bump because at least he doesn't say dumb shit like Joe Maddon did last night regarding the Astros

Andrew McCutchen circa 2011-2014

Isn't McCann's avg higher than Anderson's?

starting pitcher*

Actually that is what I'd do but I've accepted that they're likely going to wait until April 2020 to call him up to the bigs

An .870+ ops in Birmingham is impressive. I'd send him to AAA on 7/1 and have him finish the year there

Yeah, I have a bad feeling about this one

Man that Gore guy is a waste of a roster spot
