caulfield12 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2014 -> 05:55 PM) Hawkins starting to strike out a ton again. 0-8 with 6K this week 45K/142 AB's Another RBI double. Despite everything, his elevated double and walk totals have kept his OPS in the high 800's. Mitchell with another K. This is becoming something of a comedy with what starting out as a promising career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Señor Ding-Dong Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Barnum went a total of 3-6 during the double-header today after going 2-3 yesterday with only one K during those three games. He must have read my post in the 5/20 thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't take much to be excited about a White Sox prospect these days. We would be downright giddy about Joe Borchard if he was doing what he was doing his first go around in AA. Personally, even though it is too early, I think the guys with the ridiculous k rates, namely Hawkins and Davidson, aren't going to amount to much.but they still are 2 of our better hopes.

Everyone is individual. It certainly didn't impact Quentin in 2008, or Eaton coming out of the gate this season with the Sox. Gillaspie has proven he belongs at the big league level too...it's not like Brandon McCarthy "deserved" to be the odd man out in 2006, but that's also what happened.

Conor's emergence is creating a nice little dilemma. Sell high on Conor? Package Davidson for a piece? Somehow keep both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 3B defense, while improved, has never been called anything better than average at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Viciedo's terrible OF defense, I would imagine one of Viciedo/Davidson/Gillaspie would have to go for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Viciedo's terrible OF defense, I would imagine one of Viciedo/Davidson/Gillaspie would have to go for next year. Again I stress, Viciedo isn't going to be great in the OF, but if you put him in RF and give him time to adapt to the position I still think he can be adequate. He had to switch positions again a month ago. So far in the Sox org his path has been 3b-1b-3b-1b-RF-LF-LF-RF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make a big deal out of 3B vs OF. RF vs LF isn't that big of a difference. That excuse is dated now, especially when you see someone like Gordon make the transition flawlessly from 3B to OF.

RF vs LF isn't that big of a difference. That excuse is dated now, especially when you see someone like Gordon make the transition flawlessly from 3B to OF. When one of his issues is "how good of a read does he get on a fly ball off the bat" I'd say it's a bigger issue than you let on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After three years of playing the OF, he should be getting it. Having played OF a lot in my life, the only difference is the angle of the slice.

bjm676 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 There will be an opening at DH next season. I can see them try to put Viciedo there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Changing from CF to LF hasn't really helped DeAza's defense either, he actually seems to be worse in left than he was in CF last year, if that's possible. No matter where you put him, he can't read the ball off the bat and tends to start off going in the wrong direction and usually struggles to recover from that point onward. Viciedo played well in LF for most of 2012. He's shown that he's capable of doing it, at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevo880 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Is there even the smallest chance the Sox decide to resign Beckham if he keeps it up and decide to have Micah spend the offseason getting adjusted to the outfield and put him in LF, with Viciedo at DH? That would insert a much needed LH bat into the lineup. But, between Johnson, Eaton, and Garcia that's not a very powerful outfield. FWIW, I don't see this happening. More curious to see other peoples opinion as to if this would even be thought about by the higher ups in the organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
