Chicago White Sox Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:53 PM) He's had an amazing amount of blunders so far this year. Far surpassing anything Pierre or Pods ever did. Cecchini has to be the centerpiece in any potential Peavy deal with Boston. Not only does he fit a big positional need, but he also addresses several major weaknesses in our lineup and organization (lack of left-handed hitters, low AVG/OBP). I wouldn't accept a deal frok them for anything less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunt Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:26 PM) Given how 2013 has gone, I'm scared for his start tomorrow. I think a lot of grown men would cry tomorrow if something happened to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautox Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I dont want middlebrooks at all he has no idea how to take a walk . In this sox rebuild sox should focus on people who can control the zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) No thanks on Cecchini, at least as the centerpiece. This team lacks power, I don't want a guy who has 14 HRs total in 242 minor league games to play a power position like 3rd. I'd rather have Middlebrooks. Chicks don't dig walks.

Buehrle>Wood Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Just got a text from my source to expect huge news in the next hour or so. Said to expect multiple White Sox players moved for an intriguing package that would shock everyone around the league. Oh yeah and I made that all up.

Chicago White Sox Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:28 PM) I'd be shocked if he didn't. He's only thrown to major league hitters once since his return from the DL. Plus a bunch of scouts will be in attendance tomorrow. I think this start will be the big final showcase and a move will happen by the weekend, assuming all goes well tomorrow.

Cecchini is a high-IQ player with a good feel for hitting but no plus tools who just missed my preseason top 100 and now looks like he clearly should have made it, hitting .365/.475/.615 and translating that ability to hit into above-average power production. There's absolutely some randomness/sample-size stuff at work here, but the early reports from scouts are glowing No power? He's OPSed .898, .827, 1.016 in three minor league seasons. Couple that with good defense, a discerning batting eye, a good hit tool, and you have a top 30 prospect in baseball. I can't understand why anyone would turn their nose up at Cecchini.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Peavy's not only scheduled to pitch tomorrow but appear at the Wild Pitches charity event after the game.

Couple that with good defense, a discerning batting eye, a good hit tool, and you have a top 30 prospect in baseball. I can't understand why anyone would turn their nose up at Cecchini. I think his OPS is inflated by his walk totals. He very well could turn into an above average power hitter but so far, to me anyway, he doesn't look like the power hitter I'd be looking for. I'm not saying he's a bad player at all I just think this team needs more power in the lineup. I'd gladly take him in a deal with a different headliner though.

I dont care what kind of power he has, that is a guy I want in my organization. Assuming we have Lexi and Beckham next year that would be an awfully weak hitting infield sans Dunn/1B/DH brought in next year. Maybe all the years of the Sox being in the top 5 in HRs has spoiled me into wanting more power. Edit- Hadn't seen the stolen base numbers he's put up, wouldn't mind him as a leadoff hitter...I would have liked to have seen Peavy bring back a middle of the lineup hitter though.
