Jose Abreu

Throw guys like Tanner Banks and Colton Turner into the "organizational filler" category. Non-prospect.

His BABIP at Winston-Salem is .281, which isn't that low and could be a good indicator of what his career BABIP would be if he continues to just chop pitches into the ground all the time. I agree with the rest though.

I don't think this is the first time he's vanished for a bit- I think/hope he's ok and will come back eventually.

Yeah, I definitely agree there. Singer would've been a mistake. And I'm also not concerned about Madrigal, at least not this early. I just hope he goes into next season with refined mechanics and a more open mind when it comes to taking walks.

While it's nice to get the recognition, I don't like that he exclusively uses W/L record and ERA for the relievers. Those are probably the two last stats that should be used to judge a reliever, really

I know it doesn't matter, but despite a .197 batting average, Jon India has a higher on base percentage than Madrigal right now. I'm not too high on the pick but not because of his power- rather because he's an on base guy who doesn't want to take walks.

For Eloy and the MLBPA, it’s good because it brings more attention to the service time rules and the fact that a player who’s MLB ready is still in AAA

As has been theorized earlier, that might have been the point- to bring more nationwide attention/anger over Eloy still being in AAA

Just shut him down and hope for offseason improvements

Most of them are 11-14 years old. There’s this really weird segment of 11-14 year old girls on Twitter that obsess over certain actresses and singers. This was their doing

Nothing too bad, relative to Hader and Allen and whomever. He used a gay slur a few times when he was in college and since deleted them

Yeah he was the main guy. Fry was the other, who has also since been exposed on a smaller scale. There aren't any more major ones to my knowledge

These tweets have been well known among Sox fans on Twitter since December of 2016, for what it's worth

They wouldn't have him sit around at home for 3 weeks only to call him up and throw him in cold against MLB pitching in mid-late September.

No, I based it on his profile, track record, repertoire, etc.

Not as much as the Twins organization loves him. I can see them signing him back. Also, that would really be waving the white flag on elite FAs given that 3B is the most logical spot we'd have to fill. I don't see us needing a FA outfielder or reliever.

Burr looks solid. I think he can have a long career as an average-slightly above average reliever. A Shawn Kelley kind of career.

Interesting, didn't know that. I guess I can't put myself in his shoes but I feel like he could still be a quality starter for a few seasons

Why would he retire at 35 coming off a career year?

Jose Rondon is intriguing. That kind of power from a shortstop is rare

The opposite actually, in a lot of cases

Pretty cool that we got this guy for money we couldn't use, and now he might even be a major bullpen piece when we're good

Buur and Vieira are pretty rested. Maybe we won't need Vieira though.
