They're not moving Michalczewski to make room for Alvarez. Probably not Rondon either. Nor likely Jake Peter. He's got nowhere to go in Winston-Salem. Birmingham lacks a real 3B though. Could be Michalczewski or Peter moves up to that spot, which opens something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge fan of leaving a guy in a level that he is dominating. Give him another week and if he is still playing well I think you need to make room for him somewhere at a higher level even if it is AA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play him at 3rd and 2nd this week to get him ready for 3B in Bham.Only kinda joking. He may have the maturity to handle the double promo, then again, that may be crazy. Don't promote Trey yet, though, just starting tother get it at WS. Maybe promoting Peter to make room makes the most sense.

Catching? It takes years of play at that position to get any good at it. You're also, I think, wasting his speed and athleticism at that position. I'd imagine that is the last possible option for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think unless a prospect is pushing the door on the majors, you shouldn't get too crazy about learning different positions. In Alvarez's case, he was away from baseball so long, I am sure he is doing his best to learn shortstop. It seems like that position is incredibly valuable right now with Addison Russell, Franklin Barreto, and Marcus Semien being young shortstops that were centerpieces to big trades recently.

NorthSideSox72 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 QUOTE (raBBit @ May 11, 2015 -> 04:07 PM) There is no way I move Michalczewski. He's a work in progress. The traditional trajectory other orgs employ seems perfect for him: age 20 at W-S, 21 at Bham and 22 at Charlotte seems perfect for a guy like Michalczewski. He still needs to to make strides at 3B and show game power. SS's are always valuable because they're athletes currently playing a premium positon, I don't think any recent or future trend is going to change that. Regardless, Alvarez isn't going to become some uber-valuable trade piece. His value is best in this organization so I think you do whatever makes sense for his progress and expand his opportunities. We just happen to have a top 50 prospect at SS and a defensive wizard at the two levels ahead of him. Playing 2B wouldn't hurt Alvarez. Personally, I would just bump Alvarez to W-S at the end of May and keep it systemic instead of ending a hot streak. Everyone around here loves Jake Peter for some reason but I'm nowhere near as enamored with him as the ST masses. Peter does have a plus arm though so being removed from the situation, I would say they should consider cutting bait on Basto and throw Peter in LF, with Alvarez taking over at 2B for W-S. I am a big fan of Alvarez. I generally don't put weight into Kanny stats, and his stats are grotesque, but there's still a lot to like. Yes, he's older than Kanny's whole team which helps for leadership but he's a great makeup guy either way. I think most know he's an Olympic speed skater converting to baseball. I don't know what most people feel about ice skaters but the way skaters (and wrestlers for that matter) are brought up as kids just indoctrinates them into a lifestyle of hard work, structure and dedication. Everyone who's a fan of Alvarez should check out Matt's (NorthSideSox72) article from last August: http://www.chicagonow.com/future-sox/2014/...r-eddy-alvarez/. Surely one of the best FutureSox piece's in my time there. Agreed on all the above, and thanks on the Q&A - Eddy was easy to interview in a fun way. And I do think Peter is likely a utility guy in the future, so certainly no harm in moving him to OF for a little while. Engel probably reaches BHAM in the next couple months anyway, so just move Peter there, because none of the Kanny OF's are screaming for that slot.

GreenSox Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 2 good outings in a row for Drabek, each with good K numbers. May be getting close to coming back up and taking some starts. Can't be any worse than most of these guys. Jordan Guerro- wow. Must be near time for the Dash, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
