CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 08:58 AM) I'm not sure why Saladino is so slept on around here. Dude was an above-average bat the final two months of the season when he got more consistent playing time. Even with some regression offensively, he can still provide plenty of value with his plus defense at 2B or 3B & smart base-running. Ultimately I think he can be a 2 to 3 WAR player with regular playing time, which would be attractive to many teams. To me, the biggest concern with him is health. He's had his share of problems staying on the field. Once a player gets pegged into a certain role or mindset it literally takes something drastic to change someones mind. If you take into consideration his minor league career ,age, and his performance on the major league level you have the not that young anymore quality utility man. It's much easier to keep him as that than to use a little imaginary and project him as more. It took Quintana years around here to stop hearing things like "smoke and mirrors" or "4th starter ceiling:" when discussing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
