danman31 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Ozzie Ball wrote an excellent article reviewing Dayan's first half of the season with some sweet statistical analysis. It's a great read. Dayan Viciedo: A First Half Review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) Fantastic writeup. I've always felt good about Viciedo all season even when others have been pointing out his low OPS, etc, and it's nice to see a very solid article backing a stance I agree with - that he's doing just fine for his 1st season in the U.S. Edited July 16, 2009 by dasox24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 That's a really nice write up. The only thing that worries me are rumors about work ethic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Very good writeup. Like I said earlier, DV gets a free pass this year. But I expect significant improvements across the board next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxfan09 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 JPN, do you think the friendly hitters park in Charlotte will benefit Viciedo more than BHam? I tend to think so but there is no graphical tool in MILB.COM that shows to what fields he is hitting the ball to. With Beckham I got a chart that showed he was spraying the ball all over the place once he got to the bigs and especially at the Cell which is a hitter's park but not so sure with Viciedo. Do you think AAA will be a good promotion for him next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think AAA will be a good promotion for him next year? I know you asked JPN, but I'll give my opinion also. I think B-ham is a better park for him right now. While it could deflate his numbers, it won't get him into bad habits of lofting flyballs just to get them out of Charlotte's stadium. I think if he proves he can hit AA pitching consistently, his time in AAA will be short, if he goes there at all. However, his numbers to date don't indicate he's ready for a promotion, IMO.

chisoxfan09 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) Guess what? Viciedo picked up another error (23 for the season). He is butchering 3rd base and is definitely not the answer there long term. Outfield, 1st base, or DH maybe?
