Dick Allen Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2014 -> 05:43 PM) Semien is a Charlotte Knight. Gillaspie can't return soon enough. Fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 3, 2014 -> 05:41 PM) I guess that makes sense, Marcus has a good record of making contact this year and has very low strikeout numbers. Plus the guy on 1b plays a speed position. Are you joking low strikeout numbers Semien K rate may be worst in baseball on 220 K pace?

BigHurt3515 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2014 -> 05:45 PM) It's beginning to feel a lot like last year, minus Abreu. Yeah, Tigers and Indians were the last two teams I would want to face at the end of the month/beginning of the month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 3, 2014 -> 10:45 PM) Fixed. To me, Semien's just another guy right now that came up from the Sox system that is incredibly overmatched at the plate. We've seen that way too often the last 15 years or so. Semien might end up being a solid player, but he's been a big disappointment so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Flowers also clearly isn't fast. Ergo how much sense did that hit and run make. It was a gift to Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen that way too often the last 15 years or so. Semien might end up being a solid player, but he's been a big disappointment so far. I think he can be good. He needs more time. Although he has been at the major league level, he hasn't been the strikeout machines all the other prospects the Sox have seem to be on the minor league level. I think there is hope , but nothing is guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semien got better as time went on at AA, but the jump from AA to the bigs with almost 0 time at AAA is huge. We shouldn't be surprised by him struggling, that's what we should ahve expected. At AAA a hitter is going to see better offspeed stuff than he sees at AA and better control than at AA. Semien is getting beat because he should be at AAA right now. IF no one had been hurt then he might have been a candidate for a callup in August/Sept. Instead he's here now. This is what happens when you rush guys through a level. We did it because of injury, so I get it. But this is what you should expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
