bmags Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 He'll absolutely be here in September. His extended ST look ought to have sold us on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 The thread. I have to think the Sox are going to trade one or two infielders at some point, and then he comes up. So yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I should have added - it is also possible the Sox trade Johnson. Not likely, but not impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ May 14, 2014 -> 10:55 AM) Probably for next to nothing. Crap prospects/cash considerations. Are we talking Beckham? Then yeah. Ramirez? Then a lot more than that. Gillaspie? More than Beckham, a lot less than Ramirez. All depends on who gets traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely, but not impossible. Also possible that after letting him get acclimated and if he's hitting good a move to OF is a very real possibilty.

IMO, if I were going to do this, I'd have already started it in BHam. The fact that he hasn't played an inning at any position other than 2b his entire journey through the minors is telling.

I think it's more telling that it's way cheaper to fill your holes from within the organization. With his speed and the crowded infield it's a solution worth considering but only once his development is to the point where his bat will play in the majors . The more time that passes some of these problems will resolve themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to move a guy, start moving him early so that he has time to learn the position. He's still learning 2B and there's nobody really blocking him there, at least not yet. You're lowering the player's value by moving him to OF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Learning to play the OF isn't all that complicated. Let him play 2B. If they need him in the OF he could pick it up pretty quickly. If he were an OF you were thinking of moving to the infield, that would be a different story, but even then, the Indians make Carlos Santana a 3B this past offseason...it's not like you are learning how to operate on brains.

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 We need to find a place for him at a corner. Sox need a singles hitter playing a power position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
