NCsoxfan Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Any reason why Yurchak isn't being promoted? Dude is raking. Where do you all think he'll start next season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Probably stay where he's at for the playoffs. Probably kannapolis I'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you all think he'll start next season? Theres no place to promote him to. Burger just got to Kanny and will finish the season there, filling 3B, Remillard moved over to 2B to make room for Burger, Sheets has 1B, and the Sox have four OF's - Rutherford, Call, Adolfo, and Gonzalez that need regular at bats. There just isnt a spot for him there now, and no one from that group is really ready to take the next step up. Burger probably goes to WS to start the year next season and Yurchak starts in Kanny.

Realistically we'll see what a guy like Yurchak can do once he hits full season ball. There is a long line of college guys who destroy rookie ball, only to see that catch up with them once they hit A ball. Though I will say I remember Hoestetler being absolutely thrilled to get the guy in the 12th round. He was one of the guys that he mentioned by name.

NorthSideSox72 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Keep in mind too that Yurchak was a younger college player - he's still 20. So really he's just fine for that league. I like his chances of future success better than say Aaron Schnurbusch not just because of the 2 years age difference, but because Yurchak is showing excellent plate discipline.

Lillian Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 28, 2017 -> 12:57 PM) Kid is a beast. I hope he can pick it at third. To your point; how good is his defense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaDoc Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I noticed in box scores, he is playing first and I think dh ing. I double checked and 11 games at third with 7 errors. 17 games at first 2 errors. 20 games as DH. Young enough to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen a scouting report on his defense? I really wouldn't read much into defensive numbers from rookie ball in a pro debut for a 20-year-old. He's also not played there much yet. No I don't have a scouting report on his defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm tired and originally read this as "20 errors as DH" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
