CWSpalehoseCWS Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 10, 2016 -> 09:48 AM) I'd say the lineup in Charlotte should be quite good. Pitching though, should be pretty bad, and they are playing in a band box. Lots of high scoring games for the Knights most likely. Lineup should include Anderson, May, Coats, some combo of Ishikawa/Davidson/Hayes/Delmonico/Olt (all of which should mash in AAA) on the corners, and Smith/Brantly at catcher. That's a lineup that should hit AAA pitching pretty effectively, even though many are not solid prospect-wise. That was I think Sahadev maybe, and it goes against what the club has said previously. All the indications I've seen are he's in AA to start the year. I don't see how either Hayes or Delmonico start in Charlotte. They both had pretty lack-luster years not deserving of a promotion.

They both had pretty lack-luster years not deserving of a promotion. It's not necessarily about the stats. And again, context is needed. Delmonico did have a pretty lackluster year in offensive output. But he's also a guy who's talent is much greater than his output - which is the kind of player the Sox will push. And they sent him to the AFL. And Michalczewski & Barnum are going to AA, the club has said this on both. Add it all up, and I think he's in Charlotte. Hayes had a crappy first 5-6 weeks - which makes sense when you consider he went from Low A to AA (the High A to AA jump is usually seen as the biggest, and he added more to that). Look at what he did the rest of the year. Also look at the fact that he walks more than he K's, and that he's a plus defensive 1B. And Barnum is behind him. Again, that says Charlotte to me. These are just guesses of course, but that's my reasoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Olt and Davidson are are both out options, there is the possibility that neither of them could even be in Charlotte. In that case I would fully expect one or both of Delmonico and Hayes to be on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly I don't think the team would care if either of them got picked up on waivers. Davidson is worth giving one more shot to if he sticks around though.

Bob Sacamano Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Ike Davis signed with the Rangers on a minor league deal. Woulda been more interested in him on a minor league deal instead of Ishikawa but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 10, 2016 -> 08:21 AM) Add Olt to that mix. That's a big crowd. Delmonico and Hayes are the most prospecty of the bunch, but that's not saying a lot. Hayes had a really nice year in AA when you consider the full picture. Delmonico really didn't and could maybe stay in AA, except that Michalczewski and Barnum will be there so I'd bet they want to challenge Delmonico to finally translate the tools and send him to AAA. I agree on the Danny Hayes comment. He has progressed nicely thru the system in 3 years after a pretty good college career. He is perfectly set up for a solid year at Charlotte, which means he will have some value in 2017. I don't get the Ishikawa signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 5m5 minutes ago Travis Ishikawa agreed to sign w/ Seattle #Mariners but was confused when deal fell apart.
