Dick Allen Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 03:57 PM) It's his sixth professional game. Do they play differently in Cuba? If he cannot catch now why would he be able to next year? That is at least 2 drops in 6 games. You don't see that with 8 year old first base men.

Dick Allen Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Melty calling him Sales on the postgame. Shields is now Shield. I love Melty. He just called Chen Chinn. There has to be a drinking game here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I think they'll coach Abreu a bit and he'll be a little better with the whole leaning off first to get a ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about catching throws as a first baseman. At 27, if he needs to work on that, I doubt very much that DH isn't in his future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 03:57 PM) It's his sixth professional MLB game. I agree with you. I think he needs some time to adjust to life here, his team, the expectations, etc. I'm not going to judge until next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just worth pondering whether he's ever actually had a coach tell him the right way to handle that play, and then follow it up with practice and video of what the mistake was.

I bet he has. Other Cubans have known how to play defense. He is a bad first baseman. They didn't pay him for his glove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin on track to be a manager of the year candidate if he can keep the team at .500. QUOTE (Marty34 @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 10:22 PM) We're talking about catching throws as a first baseman. At 27, if he needs to work on that, I doubt very much that DH isn't in his future. My gosh I wish we'd some how just cut Dunn so Abreu could start his DH career. Let Paulie play first the rest of his farewell season and get on with it. There's absolutely no reason to not have Abreu DH right now. He's a hitter, not a fielder. That said, tip of the cap to A. Garcia for playing better in right field today. Maybe he can improve and become a grade of C defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if you want to argue that Dunn should be let go so that De Aza and Viciedo can play every day, I won't argue with you, but stop with the Konerko nonsense.
