Speaking of Votto not ever being in the playoffs with the Reds, they made it three times during his tenure there.
Then there was another where Utley cried Chapman hit him with a fastball when he didn't, but the ump gave Utley 1st base anyway cause he's a little bitchThat is why he signed the long term contract, but the front office gutted those good teams. |

You are childs play crotch, better to know some information before you post. Weather is great down here, maybe should should leave your four by eight room and get some sun on that bald head. Everyone here knows that the only reason you made that post was because you wasted time researching Votto just so you may be able to prove me wrong about the Reds not being a playoff team while he was there. to me, it wasn't important enough for me to go check on it.....I didn't remember the Reds making the playoffs while he was there. I am so pleased that you were able to feed your fragile ego.  You are as phony as they come. You are no more in Florida working with All Stars than I am in New York starring in a Broadway production. But, if you want to imagine that you are down there fulfilling one your childish fantasies have a nice time.  Crotch post your email, I will send you pictures. |

I am not interested in receiving pictures that you would forward to me after someone who is actually there sends them to you. i notice that you didn't lie and claim I was wrong about why you made that post about Votto. Good for you. You must be having a rare lucid moment. |

Posted yesterday at MLBTR:
“The Astros have shown interest in White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe. Abreu carries a stronger track record than Houston first baseman Yuli Gurriel and designated hitter Evan Gattis, either of whom could lose playing time to Abreu if the reigning world champs acquire him. However, in 2018, both Gurriel and Gattis have offered superior production to Abreu, a fellow right-handed hitter who has batted a disappointing .260/.316/.451 through 373 plate appearances. The 31-year-old Abreu also carries a high price tag, as he’s on a $13MM salary this season and should land a raise over that figure next winter during his final trip through arbitration. But despite the veteran’s cost and the fact that the White Sox are rebuilding, they have thus far been unwilling to move Abreu, an important mentor to their array of young players.”

Abreu is really heading south with the bat lately. Batting .175 and slugging .289 over his last 30 games....batting .136 and slugging .227 over his last 7 games.
He is said to be a very good mentor for the younger guys on the team, but I don’t know how much the Astros need that after having had the experience of winning the WS last year. He is strictly a first baseman, but we already have Yuli, Marwin and White to cover first base. The only reason I can see for going after him is for his bat...and his bat is not producing right now. He would add no value on defense. He still has a year of arbitration left so if we traded for him we would be looking at taking on his salary for the remainder of this year and all of next season. He is already making $13 million this year so he is going to be expensive next season. Seems like it would make more sense to just keep Gattis around.
If the team wants to add a bat, Wilson Ramos would seem to make more sense than Abreu. Ramos is a good hitter and his bat has been heading north over the last month. He is also a good catcher and would provide the team some quality insurance should McCann not recover well from surgery. He is a FA after this season so the team would not be taking on any salary beyond this season and it is more likely that we could obtain him by trading blocked prospects and/or prospects other than our top 5 or so, I would think.

I think that everything will depend on how Tucker does. If he looks like he can hit 270 with some power and good defense then no trade needs to be made. If it is questionable whether he can then I feel certain that we will make a trade. So I guess this is one of the reasons why Luhnow waits as long as he does before he pulls the trigger on a deal. |

I would be interested to seeing what the White Sox are going to want for a slumping player...keep in mind Abreu is a career: .301 BA/.354 OBP/.552 SLG....He is a 30 HR/100RBI producer....plus loved in the organization.... |

I don't see that we have a need for him. I think Tucker was brought up at this time in hopes he can show that he can provide some power and run production this season. If so, that probably means Kemp could be used......along with White, Reed, or both......in a trade or trades. Since we are not sure when or if McCann returns this season, I wish there was a catcher available. I would like to get Ramos, but, he is probably too expensive. |

I have to agree that adding Abreu if Gattis is going to be used as a backup catcher makes sense. Fed would not be here if McCann was not on the DL. Using Gattis as a part-time catcher and adding Abreu would add a power hitter to the lineup. I know of Abreu's rep in the clubhouse and it is great. I would guess Kemp and a couple of others would go in a deal for him..They didn't bring Tucker up to showcase him for a trade.....they brought hin up to take over left field. I think they are losing patience with Marwin and they should. His attitude has gone south. |

This from MLBTR: “The three weeks leading up to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline will serve as a left field audition for Astros prospect Kyle Tucker, FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal says. If the just-promoted Tucker doesn’t look ready to contribute on a regular basis, the Astros will “likely” look to acquire a veteran stopgap, according to Rosenthal, who points out that left field has not been an area of strength for their offense this season. Tucker, 21, made his Astros debut Saturday and went 1 for 4 with three strikeouts and a walk.” |

Abreu's clutch stats are still pretty good this year:
Runners on base: (48/197) .280 avg 6 HRs, 44 RBIs Scoring Position: (40/143) .293 avg 4 HRs, 35 RBIs Scor Pos w/ 2 outs: (10/23) .435 avg 1 HR, 12 RBIs .552 OB%

ESPN was reporting that the Astros are the frontrunners to trade for Ramos. That would seem to cast doubt on whether McCann can return after the surgery this year.
Ramos is a league-average hitter (OPS+ 102) for his career but is having a great season so far with OPS+ of 124 and 12 HRs so far.
A big positive about Ramos is that he has a .347 BA with RISP this year
His L/R splits are similar to Stassi's insofar as he hits lefties somewhat better than righties.
Ramos has hit the Red Sox well this year but NYY and SEA, not so well. Just thinking about how he would work out in the postseason.

I'm not sure Gattis can take the punishment of regular work at catcher, even as a backup. I think he's strictly an emergency catcher now.
Stubbs is in the pipeline and both Ramos and Realmuto are potential trade candidates.
I really don't see any advantage of trading for average players. We need players who are good NOW or controllable prospects in exchange for the rule 5 eligibles.
