Jose Abreu

QUOTE (AJUribe @ Feb 24, 2014 -> 04:52 PM) OF: Yoenis Cespedes OF: Carlos Gomez OF: Yasiel Puig 1B:Edwin Encarnacion 2B:Dustin Pedroia SS:Derek Jeter 3B:Evan Longoria C:Buster Posey SP:Matt Moore SP:Stephen Strasburg SP:Felix Hernandez RP:Grant Balfour How can you like Puig?

Carlos Gomez, Curtis Granderson, Brad Ziegler.

Other than the obvious Buehrle, Pierzynski- Rios. Always felt like he got a bad rap and I really enjoyed him here with the exception of the 13/44 year. Still a 5-tool player who is a beast on my fantasy teams.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 19, 2014 -> 07:35 AM) Why did Frank get all prissy on Twitter earlier? What rookie was compared to him? Yes, it was Abreu.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Feb 22, 2014 -> 11:44 PM) Everyone on Soxtalk would hate this, but I'd trade the Mariners Chris Sale for Taijuan Walker, James Paxton, Tyler Pike, Stefan Romero, and DJ Peterson. I'd do that if we also got one of Franklin or Ackley. Maybe switch Romero or Pike out.

That being said, De Aza and Rienzo and Dunn for Franklin and a AAA guy (not enough for them?)

Why would you want Montero? He just put on 40 lbs

QUOTE (Dunt @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 07:04 PM) So who from the outfield is getting traded? Aleyan Vicieaza.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 06:39 PM) He's walking, can't be that hunched over if he's supposedly 4 inches taller and Dayan looks 2-3 inches taller .in the photo. I read Avi made Abreu look small so maybe Abreu isn't as big as we've been led to believe. He looks like he's in that awkward 'just took a step and began to laugh as I took that step which caused me to hunch over but it cannot be determined via a photograph' phase.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Feb 20, 2014 -> 06:04 PM) How come Viciedo listed at 5'11" looks taller than Abreu listed at 6"3" ? Because Abreu's hunched over...

I read this thinking it meant starting pitcher. I was ready to jump in on the whole fight and everything.

"We lay it on thick!" Not bad.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 19, 2014 -> 10:00 PM) sounds like a waste of time to me. Sammy Sosa didn't learn English and look at how many home runs he hit He's doing it to communicate with the media and teammates (but mainly media, don't ask me why)

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 19, 2014 -> 08:14 PM) Do they speak a common language? No, but Abreu is learning English a couple hours per day.

Abreu is like, 2X Sale's weight

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 17, 2014 -> 04:31 PM) Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst 7h And this: Polled 23 execs for spring preview. Their 3 best free-agent signings: 1) McCann, 2) Hudson, 3) Jose Abreu http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/10444000...-preview-survey … No Tanaka. I like it. But Hudson? Really?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 16, 2014 -> 08:49 PM) Smart move. No hurry given his service time, make him prove that he is legit. I think he's already proven himself, but I agree that it's smart.

Is 3B not considered a position battle? Or LF?

Hey guys!!! Talk about a pain in the ass!!! Am I right? :

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Feb 15, 2014 -> 04:03 PM) Alexei Ramirez. He now weighs -10 pounds :

Our defense can only get better but it will still be below average.

Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 38m Reliever Ronald Belisario has visa issues and wasn't able to report to camp today. #WhiteSox

John Danks says ball coming out of his hand this year vs last year is like "night and day". Adam Eaton has grown one inch. Flowers and Konerko refer to each other as "Kid (Flowers)" and "Dad (Konerko)".
