DBAHO Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Tough break for him, but then hopefully that thumb will heal up fine, no need to rush him back or anything. Get him those AB's at Charlotte until he's ready to produce again probably as a utility guy for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Mar 11, 2011 -> 12:10 AM) Actually might be a blessing in disguise. This way, he can't start the year in the Majors and will go down to AAA and play everyday like he should. This. I'm saddened, but not really worried. He'll be fine.

Agreed, I don't see a silver lining here, other than the fact it's only 2 months max he'll be out and he's not tagged as one of our starters. But this basically ensures we won't see him till June at the earliest, and when Morel is hitting .150 at 3B a lot of people are going to want to see Dayan over there if he can play average defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going fulltime in the outfield. And despite his spring batting average, Morel is probably better than what he's doing now. He hit .320 last year--he's probably not going to hit under .200 in the bigs. Edited March 11, 2011 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like BA, he's got the job basically locked in ST (we have no other real everyday options), he's a rookie batting ninth and Ozzie will tell the press he doesn't need to do anything but play good defense and not worry about his bat...sound familiar?

I mean there is no need in the world to let Dayan sit on the bench in Chicago, it's not in the best interest of the Sox and him. For him to develop appropriately, he needs to be in AAA playing everyday in the outfield. QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 11, 2011 -> 09:14 AM) It's spring training His career numbers as a professional hitter are above .300 He's probably only had like - what - 30 ABs... MAYBE??? He can't. Exactly. He has had 21 at-bats, that's about six games. He will be fine. Morel is what you call a professional hitter and will get everything on track in due time. He plays top-of-the-line defense always and his hitting will come around. It's all about sample size, you can't read too much into these first at-bats.

greg775 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 How did he fracture his thumb? Did he foul a pitch off it? I'm surprised more guys don't do that. This really sucks.

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 11, 2011 -> 03:14 PM) Brent Morel has hit much better than Brian Anderson did in the minors and has a much better work ethic. I can eat an orange, and it may remind me of an apple, but it's still an orange. Each stop in Morel's monir league career, he scuffled upon arrival in his first 50 ABs or so, then tore it up thereafter. Even if he isn't hitting for a high average, he'll do things to help the team with his bat. We've already seen a few instances in ST of his ABs ending with productive outs.

chisoxfan09 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 It's spring training His career numbers as a professional hitter are above .300 He's probably only had like - what - 30 ABs... MAYBE??? He can't. What indications do we have he can´t play a lick of defense in the outfield? Is it his path or trajectory he taks on outfield routes to the ball? Is it his jump? But more importantly as we have noted just in this thread about Morel´s MLB hitting prospects isn´t this a relatively small sample size to judge Viciedo´s outfield defense?

He was talking about his 3B play not outfield. Anyways I was day dreaming at how nice it would be to have Dayan at 3B if he could play average D, our offense would be pretty tough top to bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news...ce=MLBHeadlines X-rays show progress for Dayan Viciedo By Doug Padilla ESPNChicago.com Archive GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The fractured right thumb suffered by Chicago White Sox outfielder Dayan Viciedo earlier in spring training appears to be healing right on schedule. Recent X-rays confirmed the progress in his recovery. ESPNChicago.com White Sox blog Baseball blog The latest news and notes on the White Sox. Blog "The bone is still in place, so nothing's changed," Viciedo said through an interpreter. "It's doing well." Viciedo took swings in the batting cage Monday and will get in some work in the outfield later this week. He played catch Sunday. The Cuba native already had resumed cardio workouts after the injury, which occurred March 10 in a game against the Texas Rangers when he was hit by a pitch. Viciedo will remain in Arizona for extended spring training when the club breaks camp Tuesday evening. He is expected to join the Triple-A Charlotte roster when he returns to game shape. "It is a bit tough [not playing], especially since I worked so hard and was doing so well," Viciedo said. "I wasn't expecting this to happen. But since it did happen, what can I do except work through it and do what I need to do to get back to where I was." The highly-regarded 22-year-old will make $1.25 million this season plus a portion of his $4 million signing bonus, but his salary isn't expected to influence the White Sox into rushing him to the major leagues this season. If a starting spot isn't available at the major league level, indications are that the club will be content with Viciedo getting 400-plus at-bats at the minor league level in order to keep his development on track. Before he was injured, Viciedo proved to be adept at playing right field, where he is expected to play this season at Charlotte. He had previously been a third baseman and a first baseman.
