Jose has been complete and utter trash lately. The dude has slowed down significantly. His fat lip with half a tin in it is less tolerable when he can't hit a damn thing. He killed his trade value.

J-Rod 3 for 5 today

Suck may be a strong word, but people around here have an overly irrational love for Abreu. That's for sure.

I remember him saying his goal was to make AA this year and the major next year. Lofty goals but it seems like he may be able to do it.

I've long been a big time LuGo fan. I have him ahead Basabe and behind Robert and Eloy. The guy seems like a competitor who does everything the right way. If we have to stick him or Robert in a corner OF spot, we probably have a damn good defensive OF.

Didn't Avi sleep with a teammates wife? (prince fielder)

Can avi raise his value enough to be a decent trade piece?

@ptatc I'm not sure if you chimed in on this at all. Do you think an achilles tear to a 6'11, 270 pound player in basketball will hinder him permanently?

Man those were rough times. His love for awful players that played like himself was absurd. What a dolt of a manager he could be.

LuGo is going to be a stud.

Don't think he was ever good enough to warrant a documentary. Below average player and below average manager

He should sit Abreu's sorry ass with the way he has been playing.

As long as he doesn't get sent to any of the Sputniks or similarly named satellites, he should be ok with it

Gavdog Millionaire seems to have heard the criticism from soxtalk a few days ago and proceeded to raise his OPS by about 70 points in 3 games. Yeah buddy.

Bite your tongue unless you want to forever be labeled a Jose Abreu hater. The dude has been a mediocre player this season when you factor in his pathetic defense. Gavin Sheets can't come quickly enough.

2 homer night for him ?

Also Sam Abbott sporting a cool .423 obp in the beginning of the AZL season. Guy seems to have a great eye. Interesting prospect.

Hey got 6 reputation points out of those. Gotta give him that

There's been a lot of doom and gloom lately around here. Sadly I think it is a select few usual suspects, so I know the majority isn't as pessimistic. What have you been happy with/pleasantly surprised with/optimistic about? Lenyn Sosa dominating great falls as as infielder has been an awesome surprise, dating to his success last year. Lambert adding velocity and holding his own at every level has been a great surprise. I'm also excited about the fireball relief prospects we have down there. The future is bright ?

Fact. Nobody is dumb enough to trade 3 prospects when their values are at low point. Just bringing the discussion into the gutter on purpose.

Matthei O'Davidson will be an inning burner in blowouts from here on out. Book it. Valuable roll to have honestly.

The minor league systems are looking very promising. I don't get how people can't be slightly optimistic about what they have you going down there. Big time outfield and infield depth, ace potential starters + solid back and starters, and some big time relief prospects.
