Trust me. Since this thread was made Covey went down and dunning blew out his elbow. OP is bad luck.

This may go down as the worst thread in soxtalk history

Lenny Sosa left the game after 2 at bats. Hope he is ok.

Take a look at his clutch stats on fangraphs and get back to me.

Jose is the poster boy for performing better when the team is out and no pressure is on. He loves playing for a team with no expectations.

Really hope eloy stays down until next year. Keep him and kopech down until the next super 2 deadline

Whichever team can offer ozzie Guillen on a lifetime managing contract and an authentic Alex Rios voodoo doll would get Jose Abreu and the sox top 3 prospects

Whatever seems reasonable to greg

You can count on Southsider to micro analyze everything and be smug/miserable while doing so

You've quoted me on Abreu about 10 times this past week. I get you're obsessed but you're going to have to wine and dine me first sir. Also, since we have just way too much pitching, we better target positional players amirite?

Do you really think Greg has any idea who those players are? Not to be rude but his understanding of the game is very limited and has reached its ceiling.

Agreed. People here overrate the hell out of him. I'd like to wait for the right package, but his value is limited.

The Astros are notoriously stingy with their prospects. Hope they have what it takes.

The rebuild has only begun. I hope they pawn off Abreu and more players for prospects. Get em out of here! Rick Hahn is god!

You must not be very educated on advanced defensive metrics. Save me some time and go do some research on fangraphs. Alexei was an above average defender at the hardest fielding position to play outside of catcher. It seems it is more you being blinded by his occasional blunders, not me being blinded by his dazzling plays.

Gunnar Troutwine with a dinger in his 1st at bat. Yeah baby.

Lenyn Sosa at 3b again. Really hope he can still play SS in the organization's eyes

Alexei was a GG caliber shortstop and a very good player in his prime. Care to elaborate on the dumb dumb comment? Has anybody ever though that maybe SS is a freaking hard position to play, and there will just be more errors/mental lapses due to the difficulty of the position? Also, not sure about the Viciedo comment. Didn't strike me as a dumb guy. He just stunk.

I wasn't aware that sarcasm was a foreign language here. I meant to imply that WBSFBSB's comment was idiotic.

If he was a good GM he would have been honest and deemed them busts at the seminar. What a joke of a GM.

I hope sosa is still slated as a SS. Worries me seeing him at 3rd. I'm sure it's nothing though

LOL

Considering we have WAYYYY too much starting pitching, we could dump Abreu for prospects and then trade our PLETHORA of starting pitching for a truly elite 1B/DH

Want some cheese with your whine bro?

Good catch man. I can't help but think of all the success the cubs have had with international prospects. Obviously this guy isn't a big signing like some of their guys, but he's balling. Those international signings are a crapshoot. Maybe we got the lucky side of the crapshoot
