That's insane. Since the ASB, Semien has an OPS of 1.600.

 

Comment From John

Marcus Semien has been the best player in the Southern League. He’s 22 and seems to do everything above average offensively, exceptional plate discipline. Any reason this guy gets no love? What’s your take?

12:01

: Partly he gets overlooked because he’s in the White Sox system which is generally considered to be fairly poor (although there are some intriguing guys in there). I’m not sold on him being an everyday guy… but he could be a solid backup and possibly a second division starter.

 

I don't buy this back up talk at all. If he was in a system like the red sox or cubs he would be getting so much love and the majority of these "prospect experts" would be gushing over him.

 

Keep it up Marcus, no one gushed over Paul Goldschmidt or Matt Carpenter either and look where they are.

 

I hope the sox take a page out of the marlins book and promote him from AA.

Me too. Especially if alexei gets traded. Maybe that's not best for his development but I'd love to watch our Mike Trout, but better, hit in the majors.

I did. Back in 2010 I was talking this dude up and said the Sox need to trade for him after that monster 35 HR season. Less than 3 years later, the dude is an MVP candidate.

Fair enough but "prospect experts" were incredibly skeptical.

The Sox tried trading Paul Konerko for him that year.
