Not really. Assuming they bring in a 3B from outside the organization, Sanchez stays in the minors at Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanchez is not only an option at third, but also at second with Beckham not having established himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanchez is not only an option at third, but also at second with Beckham not having established himself. I tend to agree. It largely depends on the attitude of the front office. If they don't like the Sox's outlook, throw the young guys into the fire and see what happens. If they think they can contend, a vet comes in to make sure they get production out of that spot. I'm leaning towards giving Sanchez a shot in the hope that he succeeds and frees up money for elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Good chance the Salt River team with the Sox players will be on MLB Network on Saturday at 2 if they hold on to their division lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Salt River clinched their spot in the championship game. MLB Network--Saturday at 2 central I would assume Sanchez will start. Not sure about Wilkins or Thompson. And Rienzo left, as was mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offtopic but relavant, MLBTR speculates Becks may earn up to 3.1 million as a first time arb eligible. I doubt it goes that high but who knows.

flavum Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 AFL Championship-- Peoria beat Salt River 4-3 . Brian Goodwin called out for leaving 3rd too early on a tag up, otherwise it would have been 4-4. Sanchez had a couple hits, stolen base, and a couple runs. Good base running, going 1st to 3rd on a single to LF. Santos Rodriguez looked pretty good. Struck out Mike Zunino, who had 3 hits. Billy Hamilton crashed into the wall and hurt his back, but he looked ok after the game ended. Smiling at least. Can't be too serious.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 10:52 AM) So Trayce Thompson had a good AFL, right? It was alright. Far from spectacular. .208/.424/.333/.758 (2 HR) Encouraging to see a 17 BB : 17 SO ratio. And his K% was 26%, which is down from the 30% he's had recently. So some encouraging contact numbers but not great results. It's AFL though so everything should be taken with a grain of salt, but it would have been nice to see some better power numbers out of him. Doesn't temper my excitement about him heading in to 2013 however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't temper my excitement about him heading in to 2013 however. The walks are better because we know the power is there. We weren't (aren't) sure about his ability to draw walks. Hopefully this is a sign of improvement. It's not like he was awful in that aspect, but if he's going to hit for a low average it needs to be a part of his game.

maggsmaggs Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Regarding Sanchez leading the AFL in SBs. What's most impressive besides the sheer number is that he was playing in the same league as Billy Hamilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
