flavum Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 02:35 PM) I'm guess W. Garcia or Engel go back to Charlotte. Engel is in CF tonight. Willy riding with the pine, for what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Even if he's 2B only I'm surprised he was able to make it all the way to the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thad Bosley Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Maybe the "once a top 100 prospect/late bloomer" magic that has enveloped Avi this year will rub off on Hansen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoeless_joe21 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Just the latest step in Hahn's quest to field the most baffling roster in sports. Every lineup card a riddle. Alec/Alan Hansen Geo/Gio Soto The groundbreaking All-Garcia outfield This is some Veeck-ian stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSpalehoseCWS Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 02:33 PM) Yep. Curious to see what the Sox do here. Could always just option Willy Garcia. Or Minaya. Or Infante. There are lots of options. Sox are carrying 13 pitchers ever since Saladino went down. Between Infante, Holmberg, and Pelfrey, the Sox have plenty of guys to DFA to make room for this kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Filler material I guess given his age and lack of accomplishments. And to answer a question earlier in the thread, Sox have the worst win percentage now in the A.L. and the 3rd worst in baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Since no one has posted any highlights....here's a few juicy defensive ones... http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/69972428/v123...y=Alen%2BHanson I'm excited, as there is no risk here, and moderate chance he's useful.

username Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I'm actually really intrigued with this guy. Top 100 prospect every year up until last year. Been young for pretty much every stop. Solid contact skills, a touch of power and a ton of athleticism. I don't like the early release but his swing is pretty compact and smooth. His results in the bigs have been super small samples, and he's been hurt by some bad BABIP luck. He actually has a 27% hard contact rate this year and he's increased his FB%, so there's a good chance he's been super unlucky on both the power and average front. He actually reminds me a lot of both Leury and Yolmer. My only question is...why did the Pirates release him?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rondon just had a similar play...wish they could hit .240, that would be a 2-2.5 war player up the middle. http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?con...83&sid=milb http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?sid=m...itting/2017/ALL He's actually put up a 775 milb ops, so there's some decent potential. If only you could morph Leury, Yolmer, Saladino, this kid...Eddie Alvarez and Rodon into one player. We're cornering the market on utility players at least.

Josh Harrison, Newman, Ngoepe....numbers game. http://www.pittsburghsports.net/search.php http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1403369...one-knows-about Another reason is lacks the arm for SS. But a Top 50-75 milb prospect coming into 2013. We're collecting those guys. Garcia's. Rymer Liriano.
