Jose Abreu

Per sources, he was joined in this activity by Michael Kopech.

Any additional thoughts/observations on Eloy?

I like Sanchez but he shouldn't be playing every single day. Re: Moncada, he was good today so I don't get the timing of that one

Not really. The bullpen prospects are actually likely the best of our whole system, collectively. One bad game, in which only one of the relievers who pitched will be here next year, doesn't change that.

Seems like he fixed his walk issues this year

Anderson

He's a defense-first catcher.

It's not alarming to me because it's something he has improved on as the season progressed. Month by month, his strikeout rate has gone down, with one exception. His rate this month is down to 24%. In my opinion, a player who walks often (which he has been doing lately) and strikes out often (say < or equal to 25%. which I think Moncada can get to long-term) is still more valuable than someone who doesn't strike out and doesn't walk (such as Madrigal's projection).

I don't see what's so wrong with a 2-3 WAR season from a raw 23 year old 2B. Not directed at you specifically but I don't know why people think he's having such a bad year. He isn't.

It was real fun. Players seemed to feed off of it. Leury was loving it

Adam Engel has a higher batting average than Bryce Harper

John Axford is starting tonight for Toronto. They're doing a bullpen game

CHECK. THOSE. BOXES.

There's a joke in here somewhere

@Chicago White Sox please never title a game thread in this format ever again.

It's Stroman! Gotta give him a chance to go deep against his rival

But can he check the boxes on the road? (yes I know they're on the road)

While I disagree that they should be promoted due to boredom (they should be promtoed because they are ready and it’s likely best for their development), posts like this are gonna look pretty foolish when the new CBA completely changes the service time rules.
