Awesome. Can't wait to watch every ball between 1st and 2nd roll into RF next year and fuck all our young pitchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if he's not on the team next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I also think that Abreu will be back next year. I believe they always wanted Jose here for when Robert comes up so he is as comfortable as possible. But as a side question: Is there any chance that Sheets would be ready to join the big club to begin 2020? I know that Vaughan is the future at 1B but I am intrigued if Sheets could be a Left Handed hitting power option for DH/1B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who on that roster would you say was clutch in Aug? I really can't see a player thinking, "20 games back", now I will do my best. I do wonder in his case if his age is accurate. There were doubts about Jose Contreras age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love u Jose Abreu!! Keep it rolling with the Sox. There's a silent majority on here that loves you. Nice game so far. (Does anybody have any suggestions how I can calm down when people bag on Abreu? It really bothers me; thanx in advance). p.s. some of you really do act like that fan in Major League who is always complaining. You realize that, don't you? Your act can be as laughable as the Quaid character. GO SOX GO BEARS GO HAWKS Edited August 7, 2019 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me thinks If I blasted Jose like several others on here do, I'd be shipped away. It's very repetitive from the same people. The mods really should consider whether criticism of a guy who is actually having an all star season is acceptable. It borderlines player harassment. At least that's my opinion. If he's at .190 with 7 homers and 42 RBI that's one thing; this guy produces and has to put up with unrelenting criticism sans me and 2-3 others who sometimes join me in defending him. It's kind of silly, really. Rather than back me, I'm the one invited to leave. That is hilarious. Peace out. I gotta run; hopefully Sox have this one wrapped up.

Considering the teams he has played for, you can say the same for anyone who has done well. One thing you should keep in mind, just because Ron posts it doesn't mean it's true. He's not the internet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Vaughan is the future at 1B but I am intrigued if Sheets could be a Left Handed hitting power option for DH/1B? There is always that challenge of bringing a player up too soon. I do wonder if the coaching is better in the minors than what the Sox have. Robert's numbers no doubt say bring him up. If he played infield I bet he would be up. One thing the Sox are reluctant to do is send a player down unless they truly suck at baseball like Covey. One has to wonder would Eloy benefit from a week in Charlotte? I could see it as a confidence booster. Odd that he didn't do a rehab. With this organization I'm reluctant to crown guys like Vaughan as a star.

Capital G Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I think I would be OK with Goins replacing Yolmer as our sub. Him and L. Garcia give us some flexibility. I'd also take Abreu back if we cant/don't sign someone better to DH. I just want him off 1st base and he needs to be OK with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
