southsider2k5 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 670 The Score @670TheScore 52m52 minutes ago Ventura: Saladino has inside track at SS entering spring training, but Sox excited to see Tim Anderson's progress http://cbsloc.al/1SKz0RT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Anderson, 22, hit .312 with five homers, 46 RBIs and a .779 OPS in 125 games at Triple-A Charlotte last season. I think somebody made a typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I think there is zero chance the Sox sign Desmond, which is fine by me btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I really hope Anderson pans out. He just reminds me of the swagger-heavy athletic baseball players I grew up with, with his batting stance, build and speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalSox Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Just keep in mind that Trayce Thompson was going to get a chance to win the CF job in ST this year, too. Was traded shortly after. Things can change on a dime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconOnAStick Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Are the Sox really open to the idea Anderson opening the season at SS? Because that's what the tone of this thread implies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's what the tone of this thread implies. I dont think they anticipate that at all but I could see them opening with him if he goes on an absolute tear in ST offensively and defensively combined with Saladino having a very poor Spring.

Because that's what the tone of this thread implies. I've read a few different things stating there is an outside chance he could start the year with the team. I'm not too well versed w/ their farm system but from what I've heard, seems like he's still a bit away. Needs time in AAA. We'll see.

I think the Sox really want to see him against AAA pitchers who are known to throw more off speed and out of zone pitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think he could sign a one year deal with maybe an option or something along those lines. How long does he have to wait to sign til so the draft pick isn't attached?

Re: Tim Anderson starting at SS. I've said all offseason, Anderson will get his chance this year if Saladino fails. I'm fine with it and excited to see him.

BlackSox13 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I would imagine Saladino gets April and May to show what he can do. During that time Anderson will be in Charlotte facing AAA and 4A type pitchers so it should be interesting to see how Anderson handles better pitching.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'd be stunned if Anderson doesn't start at AAA. I expect Saladino to start the year at SS. How he does over the course of the beginning of the season and Tim does as AAA will determine the position late in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
