That is nice. I wasn't making fun of Baez though.

I’m getting a chubby over it. His swing is sooooooo good. Short, quick and strong as all hell.

Jesus Christ, are you channeling Hawk?

I'm expecting an August 1 call-up after the big league club unloads somebody at the trade deadline, the way Frank Thomas was called up in 1990. Can Eloy come close to Frank's first couple of months: .330/.454/.529 ? I'd think that even .280/.335/.450 would be a high-end goal, as Frank was just insane when he came up.

Eloy’s playing his first game of winter ball tonight and he hit a grand slam. Dude’s a mother fucking beast.

This is going to make me fucking ill to see him succeed. And then to watch Captain Contract every 5th day.

I can’t post the tweet where I am but when I do you probably shouldn’t watch it. My god that swing.

There it is. With the pimp walk. Dayum!!!

He got all of that one

It's looking like a lopsided trade, and the Cubs were basically robbed.

It is nice to see him dominate some more, but why is he playing winter ball?

because he loves dominating baseball games.

Probably because he loves to play baseball and wants to get better?

WTF does he need to get better at, playing against inferior talent? It is like he is playing against little leaguers.

I doubt it. And a player can always try to get better at something. It is sure better than sitting on his ass in the off season telling himself how good he is.

Lets see him dominate MLB for a couple years before we declare this.

If he doesn't break camp on the big league club the Sox are going to find themselves in a bad situation with him over some stupid year of control in the mid-2020's. Every team that does this is playing an increasingly dangerous game of Russian roulette where inevitably a player is going to get really pissed off and make a massive stink about it. Why they are playing these games with a player they view as a foundation piece is beyond me.

As for Eloy, he gets hurt a lot. That's a big problem that people love to gloss over. After watching Kopech die off and Luis Robert arrive to the Sox system as a $30m stillborn I cant believe how blasé Sox fans are about Eloy's risk-factor.

That service time loophole is going to be fixed anyway in the next CBA. Fucking him late last year and early this year will be for naught. Sox will NOT be getting that 6th year.

Blasé = Quiet panic!

.407/,467/.630 winter slash through 7 games

He still needs to check off the .425 BA box.

As Keyser said in an earlier post that swing . . . My buddy who's a scout said he thinks his ceiling is Manny Ramirez and there are plenty of scouts who share that opinion. We shall see.
