Cali Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Glad Tyler is getting moved up. I personally think Saladino >>>>>>> Sanchez as far as infield prospects go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot of people really love Sanchez here. I've never seen it. At least Tyler has show flashes of power in the past (16 last year -- only 4 this year). Sanchez has hit a whopping 3 HR's in 865 AB's. That power ain't coming. I don't care if he is 20. Unless he starts taking PED's he's just gonna be a singles hitter with a high average in the Minors. No different than Jeremy Reed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, I think most people feel Sanchez is the superior prospect. Given the differences in age, I'd go with Sanchez too, although they are both quality prospects IMO. I actually think Saladino is very underrated, as his on-base ability has been incredible this year and he's got more power than he's shown this year.

Saladino had big power last year in a hitters' park, but his 2010 power numbers are similar to Reed's right after he was drafted and his 2012 is below what Reed showed in Birmingham power wise. Sanchez is getting some buzz nationally because he's 20 and in AA, but Saladino's power has gone away this year and for some reason so has the average. Neither are elite prospects. I'd be surprised if either one turns in an above average everyday player anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 On a side note I know Sanchez was the Sox Futures All Star this year, but besides Tank a few years ago, my memory is that the Sox FAS since it's inception have been some pretty laughable "prospects". I seem to remember Borchard going TWICE and Chris Getz going to NYC haha. Possibly even an Edwin Almonte sighting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like KW is following the theme this year and trading no one of value to make the team better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Fautino De Los Santos went and that was pretty cool, but yeah usually it's not a big deal name from the Sox.

He completely disappeared off the Barons' roster, but why would Greene have any value? Maybe he's the PTBNL that people were fearful of for some reason.

Great foot speed, great bat speed, good defender. He could fetch something low level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if either one turns in an above average everyday player anyway. Adding to this, Saladino's defense isn't nearly at the level that Sanchez's is, according to reports I've read. Sanchez is producing better at similar levels, at a younger age, and has better defensive skills relative to position. IMO Sanchez is a much more valuable prospect.

I had completely forgotten about his run-in with the law trying to sell those prescription drugs. This kid was always a hot-head and I didn't like him very much in his college days, but he seems to have figured it out a bit. I'm definitely pulling for him. Honestly, he should have never left Arkansas. If he had stayed and Petrino became his head coach, Mustain would likely be in the NFL right now.
