    Sox scored the 4th most runs in MLB. The trouble was their pitching...
  2. mvp 78
    Carnival trick
  3. mvp 78
    Need a solid midrotation guy for sure.
  4. mvp 78
    Yes, it means you should be able to find younger and cheaper options than a declining Paplebum.
  5. mvp 78
    They were hoping ERod became a #2 and that they could fast track Espinoza in a few years.
  6. mvp 78
    Jung, will you ignore this opinion as well?
  7. mvp 78
    For me, the cutoff point is Memorial Day. Sink or Swim.

    I'm rooting for him, but he hasn't shown any improvement in ST. If he plays like last year in 2016, just stick a fork in his career.
  9. mvp 78
    If his contract was for two more years, he'd be dealt. ChiSox have him through 2019!!!! They aren't moving him unless Betts/Xander are involved.
  10. mvp 78
    This is all hypothetical. ChiSox aren't moving him.
  11. mvp 78
    I'd trade Sam Travis, Espinoza and two others for Sale. It'd be dumb not to.
  12. mvp 78
    Nobody is reporting anything, but you wouldn't believe them anyway.

    @peteabe Vazquez back-picked a runner off first. Hanley snuck behind John Hicks to make the tag. High throw but the tag was made. BUT HE CAN ONLY GET GROUNDERS!!!!!
  14. mvp 78
    Roenis Elias throws a knuckler???
  15. mvp 78
    I think people have also decided that Hanley was going to suck at 1b before giving him a chance.
  16. mvp 78
    They aren't saying "he gets ground balls." They are saying that he is picking balls in the dirt and isshowing good footwork around the bag.
  17. mvp 78
    Reporters are still saying today that Ramirez has played better at 1b than they imagined and that he really turned the corner about 5 days ago. He is enjoying the comradery in the infield and that he want to earn everyone's trust that he'll get whatever is thrown to him. They also say he's been having great at bats recently. Jung, your response?
  18. mvp 78
    Easier to turn on a BP fastball than an MLB fastball? Idk.
  19. mvp 78
    I believe Hanley was injured and tried to play through it. I can't fault him for that. Farrell could have benched him at any point. I bet Farrell knew the issues Hanley was having.
  20. mvp 78
    It's yours to change. Waiting on you...
  21. mvp 78
    Too bad it's a proven point that Hanley's shoulder injury has NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM SUCKING AT THE PLATE LAST YEAR. HE JUST WASN"T TYRING!!!
  22. mvp 78
    Do not invoke the beast!
  23. mvp 78
    How was it overrated exactly? He was lights out in the post season and they won a WS. This post was simply comparing the postseason performance of Foulke, Paps and Koji. I don't think anyone was nominating him for the HOF.
  24. mvp 78
    No, it seems really easy for some people to say he isn't trying no matter the amount of evidence showing that he is trying. He wanted to play 1b in winter ball. Sox said no. "Why isn't Hanley trying???" He is actively getting better at 1b (as noted by posters on this board who are at ST). Many people that are watching him day in and day out are saying this. "Why isn't Hanley trying???" Yes, he began ST using Napoli's old glove, the same glove he practiced with all last year. You want to know why this isn't a story any more? Because he has been using multiple gloves now! Just google images of Hanley playing 1b and you'll see a few different gloves. "Why isn't Hanley trying???"
  25. mvp 78
    I believe Chris Young was brought in to do more than just platoon with JBJ. He's the fail safe for Castillo. I agree that at this point we can no longer say "he's been out of baseball for too long and is just getting his legs under him." It's time to take the training wheels off. I don't believe it will work out for Castillo here. Maybe he's moved midseason? Idk. I hope he proves me wrong though.
