Panerista Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 04:12 PM) and where did that come from??? If Williams and Hahn think this is what the White Sox need, they need to be shipped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 04:19 PM) If Williams and Hahn think this is what the White Sox need, they need to be shipped out. Every team makes mundane transactions all the time. They traded for Justin Sellers the other day. They signed Viciedo today. Nobody should care about this other than it happened and it's noteworthy.

I sure would like the Sox to be in it in September. We'll see I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 He really hurt himself by holding out for a MLB deal. After well over a month of no action, he went to AAA and struggled a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCCWS Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 06:48 PM) We still need a power hitting right fielder. Supposedly they really wanted DeAza but the Red Sox would not trade him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas_Ventura_Roberts Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 One thing about Tank is that he never bought into trying to make the adjustments that the White Sox wanted him to make. Maybe he will be more amenable to making those adjustments now that he has a second chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 QUOTE (ventura_abreu @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 02:58 AM) One thing about Tank is that he never bought into trying to make the adjustments that the White Sox wanted him to make. Maybe he will be more amenable to making those adjustments now that he has a second chance. You'd think this would humble him as Beckham was humbled going to the Angels last year. However, Gordon's performance with the Sox shows again, it's not all mental. Beckham just doesn't have what it takes to hit in the bigs. Dayan may get one more chance to actually have a clue at the plate. Certainly he's been humbled. If he's not, he's hopeless upstairs. I mean he's moved around a bit since Sox let him go. He's actually a more valuable hitter than Avi as it turns out. Viciedo is good for 20 homers a year at least, to go with all the Ks. Avi appears to be a .260ish hitter with no home run pop and not a whole lot of ribbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkness99 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 at least Tank can hit home runs... Avi is better on defense but offers zero punch at the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avi is better on defense but offers zero punch at the plate. And that's kind of relative. Avi's better than Hanley Ramirez or 2013/14 Viciedo but not 2012 Viciedo IMO.

witesoxfan Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Here is my text to Eminor3rd: "The White Sox bring back Viciedo. Of course they do. Can't they ever move on?" At the end of the day, it's a busted talented prospect who's young and has MLB experience who could be something but....naaaaahhhh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
