Jose Abreu

Eh, it was a tough play with the slick infield. Sucks because he was having such a great day defensively prior.

Collins left the game defensively in the middle of an inning

No Yolbert?

Nothing really. I just want to maximize TA's PAs

I would take that, but I'd prefer Anderson Moncada Abreu Jimenez Whatever 5-9 Every single game, regardless of the handedness of the pitcher

I don't get the impression at all that he's referring to the Sox there. And if he were, I think he would've said top 5 instead of top 10.

Yonder Alonso

Moncada

I can see this. They're both really good but when they mesh, they do spend a little too much time talking about random fans for my liking. And I get it, it's hard to talk about other things when the team is losing 14-1, but they do it during good games/wins too. Sometimes I want to hear Stone's analysis about a relatively big moment but they're talking about someone dressed like a banana

Yeah I've been saying this to those expecting major regression. James McCann and his ~.450 BABIP will regress, for example, but Moncada's contact profile indicates that he can maintain an elite, .340-.350 BABIP like Judge/Trout/Baez do. .290/.345/.515, Moncada's current line, is probably not far off from where he'll end the year assuming he doesn't endure an extremely prolonged slump or hot streak.

Can neither confirm nor deny

Love it.

I just googled 'Ron883 Steverson' and it was the first link. I was trying to see if he was one of the "Fire Steverson" thread starters I just find it funny is all, it's not meant to critique you. It's cool to witness the birth of a new annual Ron thread

Definitely a great question.

No. But he's pretty fun right now

he's 28

I know they used to. Not Hahn/KW types but FO employees for sure. However they might not anymore.

He certainly doesn't deserve death threats for pitching poorly, but there's also this: https://deadspin.com/trevor-bauer-has-been-harassing-a-woman-for-more-than-a-1831545503

Santana is the only real answer there, and even if he remains at this pace, Abreu would be the backup

Self-explanatory question. I've seen it discussed in various game threads and figured I'd make a poll. My guess is Abreu as a starter (the AL 1B crop is awful) and Anderson as a bench guy. I think Moncada will be deserving but gets snubbed.

Fathom? Joyful?!

That, and also the weird start time
