AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!

Chris Sale. Wow. If he can stay healthy he's an All-Star every single year. Abreu returns and Sox score 9 runs. Drawing six walks as a team is huge. Beckham continues to look like a big-leaguer this year. Flowers has that game he has once in a while where he rakes. Makes you wonder if he'll ever figure out how to have nights like tonight more often.

 

The White Sox continue to try to decide whether they are a .500 team or not. I won't complain when they win. It was the good White Sox tonight.

I'm dangerously close to wanting to figure out a way to want Beckham in the lineup every night.

I'm past that stage. I want him as everyday second baseman. I'm assuming Gillaspie can hit as well as he did last year. 2B is a black hole in the order unless Beckham is in that hole.

Sanchez will produce, just give him time. He had a nice hit with the bases loaded.

I'd rather bench Gillaspie than Sanchez at this point. LaRoche/Sanchez/Ramirez/Beckham is actually a good defensive infield.

Don't worry, he'll back to DHing everyday in no time.

 

TBH, I'm willing to accept a dropoff in defense in exchange for not relegating Abreu to the DH role so early in his career

I'm not sure how valuable that really is. Playing first base would help his WAR, sure, but I don't think it's helping the team, because the fact is that he's a bad defender that isn't likely to get noticeably better. I think we have a better chance to win this year with LaRoche in the field, and I don't see much reason to believe that won't hold true in the future too with whoever else we get after LaRoche.

Dont worry, Avi will be assuming that role as soon as LaRoche leaves

Sometimes, especially when he's hitting well, Avi looks really good in RF. But usually, he looks like the fans they used to have trying to catch balls shot out of a little canon for Comiskey Cash and United tickets on Friday nights.

LaRoche is better than Abreu at first base?

 

I've seen more of Abreu so maybe its not fair but I've seen Abreu make a bunch of great throws and great plays on bullets.

 

I remember one or two bullets at LaRoche and they have went right through him.

 

 

Not sure on the conclusion that LaRoche is better at first.

I'm guessing this is a case of not seeing a representative sample, because Jose Abreu has made at least 4 terrible errors this year that I can think of off the top of my head.

Bases loaded double play after review in Houston is all you need to see.

 

That ball gets by Abreu 2 runs score and John Danks does not pitch his first complete game shutout since the Bush administration.

Bush wasn't President in 2010.
