    You're betting that he's gonna be a gold glove second baseman? Or that he won't move from shortstop?
  2. Jose Abreu
    Yeah, but he's probably gonna move to 2B eventually
  3. Jose Abreu
    Ever since a rough defensive April, he's been tremendous all-around.
  4. Jose Abreu
    I hope he reaches his defensive ceiling but I really don't buy into this gold glove second baseman that everyone's trying to sell. Obviously this error has nothing to do with that opinion. I think Moncada will be a better fielding 2B long term
  5. Jose Abreu
    Agreed. I still believe he's just playing there to increase potential value.
  6. Jose Abreu
    I think he thinks we're getting Machado.

    That was a 3 up, 3 down inning if I've ever seen one
  9. Jose Abreu
    I don't know if I've ever seen a pitcher squeezed this bad.

    Interesting. I'm glad as I didn't think his stuff would transfer for us. Maybe he's pulling a Miles Mikolas but he's older so I doubt it.

    Very good point. I also think our "crisis" is overstated. It has been a very good developmental year for many of our prospects. The only negatives have been Giolito and some injuries. There are some who you could argue for as negatives (Kopech, Moncada, Hansen) but they're all easy to refute (a product of 2-3 bad starts, on a 2+ WAR pace and improving lately, small sample size/injured)

    7 IP, 1 ER, 10 K, 1 BB, one (permanent) call-up beginning with a start against STL next week

    Here's Ricky's brilliant lineup.
  14. Jose Abreu
    What's the difference between Arenado and Machado (3B) fitting in? They would fill the same role
  15. Jose Abreu
    Lol, per that tweet, we signed him to a $6.4 trillion bonus...
  16. Jose Abreu
    Moncada

    In your defense, Masset ended up being a pretty good reliever until his injury

    The average fan would see Jeter make a diving play on a ball and assume that he's good. In reality, most shortstops would get to said ball routinely, without having to dive. Diehards like you or I can see that Jeter was no good out there, I'm just arguing that the average, casual fan may not be able to identify that. I agree with your last point though.
  19. Jose Abreu
    I feel like he's definitely hated at times for his defense, which has been really good this past month and pretty solid overall this year. The "move him to center field" crowd is still there. He's easily our best/most valuable player, though.
  20. Jose Abreu
    While you're correct, I just don't see that happening because of the sheer amount of good shortstops in the AL
  21. Jose Abreu
    I don't take them as gospel but it's really hard for the common fan to recognize range and the ability to get to balls that the average fielder doesn't get to. They're good at showing that. The eye test is what led people to believe that Derek Jeter was a good defender.

    How do Hansen/Rutherford "completely suck"? Anyway, I also would say Viciedo. I wanted him brought back as a full time DH in 2015 rather than LaRoche. LaRoche might have done better than Viciedo would have, really.
  23. Jose Abreu
    Yes, and there's a rumor that Miguel Cabrera aggravated an injury trying to break up the ensuing clubhouse scuffle between Avi and Fielder.

    Explanation I got from Fangraphs for Moncada sliding from 5 to 17 for defense:

    Tejada Jr still unsigned
