Rowand44 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Like I said in the other thread, worth a shot, no downside to selecting him. Edited December 12, 2013 by Rowand44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 This has become something Hahn has done far differently than Williams. During Williams' tenure, I can really only remember the Sox taking Jason Grilli with a Rule 5 pick. Hahn attempted to settle the utilitiy infielder role with a Rule 5 pick last year with Angel Sanchez last year, and now they are at least attempting to add to the catcher's competition this year with Nieto. At such minimal cost, there's no point in at least attempting to bring someone in every year unless your 25 man roster is virtually set already. I like this quite a bit.

dayan024 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 1m No. 2. White Sox C Adrian Nieto. Talked to scouts who saw him in Carolina Lg, thought of him as iffy MLBer, but had a good AFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness, it is really hard trying to hide a position player on your roster when you are in win mode. Hahn selected the guy last year and he wasn't the typical rule 5 guy as he was a veteran with some experience. There is nothing to lose here. Hopefully he shows enough to stick, or enough to keep and then they could work something out with the Nationals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: You said eligible, I read it as available.....Further more I'm not even sure how the draft works so ya, I guess just take my comment for what it is lol.

Talk about a guy with virtually no power. He does have a good eye though. His arm is where he makes his living though, great percentage of CS.

I'm the biggest critic of our catching position and even I think that's a big longshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
