Jose Abreu

September 1st is literally the worst possible time to call him up with this CBA. Either do it now or next April. I do not understand why so many are hoping for September.

Such an ugly inning

Do our coaches read scouting reports? You don't run on an 80 grade arm from shallow center field.

I really like watching Nicky bat. One of our few guys with legit OBP skills. Great at working counts

Should be a ground rule double

Vizquel is even worse than Renteria. I'd rather see Jirschele from Kanny

Davidson is so bad

Moncada has been very inconsistent since early July- a really good game followed by a really bad game. I guess I can see why some are so low on him, if they only happen to be watching the bad ones

I'm sorry, as much as I want that to be the case, I have a hard time thinking that a .310 batting average could be a "conservative" projection for any prospect, even one who maximizes balls on play as much as Madrigal should.

I don't see the rush in moving him to third base. Maybe if Madrigal were really flying up the chart, but as of now, Nick projects in MLB as a 2B who may offer good defense but doesn't hit for power nor get on base enough to justify moving guys over for his arrival. If he tweaks his approach to start taking walks, then it's a different discussion, but at the moment, I see a guy whose offensive game is solely reliant on singles and batting average, which could result in a deceptively ok but actually ugly .290/.315/.340 type of line.

I bet you he didn't walk to Winston-Salem

There are so many contradictions in that post I don't even know how to dissect it

That's a welcome change from all the "he's literally awful, already just a DH" that I keep hearing here

A. Garcia

From how he's talked to reporters this season (ex: "see you in Chicago soon" a month or two ago), I don't think he cares about that, and I'd guess that the "I don't really know" was legitimate

It was a good article. If he can go through a Davidson-esque patience revolution in the offseason then maybe he could be a good DH. You can't teach that exit velocity.

Luckily the defensive part is an easy fix, and the stuff he does well is stuff you can't really teach. And he has looked infinitely better against lefties as the season has gone on

Moncada was consensus top 3 when we got him as Tatis is now.

Chicago is a great city, and [insert FA here] gets to play with Moncada/Jimenez/Robert/Madrigal etc... I don't get it. We have top prospects too.

Lol, Moncada gets walked and stays in the box for a couple seconds because he's so used to garbage pitches being called strikes

Eric Hosmer signed with the Padres in December because they offered him the most money. The Padres haven't made the playoffs since 2006. It's all about the money for most of these guys

Seriously, I'm so tired of every thread getting bogged down by the same 3-4 posters, "old man yells at cloud" nonsense. We get it, you guys hate the White Sox front office and every decision they make, but you don't need to derail every. single. conversation. to make your opinion heard.

Yeah I'm not as mad about that one, although it is quite annoying that a skill (zone recognition) is being robbed unfairly so often this year

Dead ball since he got hit by the pitch. But since he swung at the HBP ball it's an automatic out with no drop third strike

I seriously don't know what game you're watching tonight pal. It's as if you're watching some game from June that you recorded and posting here like it's live
