Jose Abreu Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 His AB vs. Sale tonight with the bases loaded was incredible. He kept fighting and fighting until he got his pitch. Probably my favorite AB of his ever, aside from the walk-off grand slam against Tampa in 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 His numbers are certainly ASG worthy at this point. Could be a reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron883 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Seems like he is only good when there is no pressure on. He always blows the first half before the sox are essentially out of it. His resurgence came in a rebuilding year where there is no pressure. Lets see how he does when the sox are contending. Or maybe we'll trade him when his value is high to a contender.

SoxAce Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 17, 2017 -> 04:34 PM) Not only will you not admit to being wrong (twice with these threads) but you completely shifted your original argument. "Facts" presented by ron: -The Sox shouldn't play Abreu until June (That would be dumb) -He's been "figured out" (That was also dumb) -Last year, the same thread was started ON THE EXACT SAME DATE (Dumb, but funny) -Claimed Abreu has "no pop" left in his bat (Ha, dumb) -Criticized him for being fat?!? (Super, extra dumb) -Now is on the "well he is good but only when the pressure is off." (Still dumb, but we're making progress!) Good work, ron.

ron883 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Glad Jose took notice of my criticism and improved. I've been saying for ages that if he loses weight his production will improve. Wah-lah, turns out I was correct. Keep it up Jose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 f***ing hell this thread has been hilarious to read! Please continue. Oh, as for Abreu, I think he's had a nice season but more importantly he is becoming the leader of the club. Considering the amount of Latin American talent the Sox have, that's huge.

I know the Sox want to keep Jose around for Moncada, but I would definitely explore moving him this offseason. IF they can get a nice offer, I'd move him in a heartbeat. But I think the Sox will try to put a halfways decent team on the field next year, which means Jose stays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 30, 2017 -> 03:44 PM) One more, for old times sake The main positive for Jose this year, aside from that he's still a 300/350/530 hitter, has been his health. I believe he's either missed one game or played all of them. He's a nice 3-4 WAR 1B. Not quite the star I hoped for, but certainly a good player and a great leader.
