Monterro should retire and Ross should stay

Because D means nothing. Especially at catcher.

For someone who hit .193/.294/.316 in April and .210/.310/.403 in May and then got hurt, Soler has rather quickly turned things around. He's now hitting .248/.341/.459 on the season including a scorching hot .360/.429/.760 in the second half albeit a small sample size.

Soler is a young player without a lot of MLB games under his belt, yet he is a stud.

The perfect set up for a winter trade. He is not a long term answer here

Crew needs to lye down and nap while Nelson tosses batting practice.

Schwarber is not a every day LF. 120 games max.

If Soler stays hot through the off season it gives Theo options. He has Almora ready to play. Fowler gone. Schwarber off injury and I doubt they will abuse him his first year back.

The worst thing to do is limit your options

Some players are trade bait, we just disagree as to whom. If the Yankees got Schwarber from the Cubs he would be a 150 game player

Notice Diehard starting shit up with me? You always seem to ignore the trolls baiting me

Now wait a second....you wondered out loud why people attack you and all I did was answer your inquiry. If you don't want to hear the answer, then don't ask the question.

Next time Monterro throws someone out let me know

He couldn't throw ME out.

But there's a lot more to D than throwing people out. (especially in an era where people don't steal much)

Our pitching has been damn good with Montero. He deserves some of the credit.

So, I am pretty sure the White Sox are just fucking with me. I had the Indians at -1 1/2. Had a great parlay completed just waiting for them to finish off the ninth since the Indians were like 62-0 when going into the 9th. they decided to give up 5 with a grand slam to Adam Eaton. It was quite the feat.

Interesting stats on Contreras

Catcher 97 PA .294. AVG .381 OBP .911 OPS

Left Field 85 PA .243 AVG .341 OBP .679 OPS

Maybe he just more relaxed focus and into it when he catches...

I personally think Szczur is a better MLBer than Almora. I think he has more pop potential in his bat. I'd trade Almora.

I see Almora as a .235 hitter with great defense. But with 4-3 Heyward you can't have two starting outfielders that can't hit
