JDsDirtySox Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I hereby nickname him "The Salesman" With the type of numbers he has put up... he must be/have been a real jag for the Angels to tell him to take a hike. Lets hope he has grown up... like that Jenks guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Ah, baseball america has alittle article on him. Very interesting. Nice kid, but isn't very coachable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighurt4life Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hmm, obviously lots of talent but to make it to the majors you have to be coachable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Sounds good, our farm system needs all it can get. A nice year for rebuilding the system and (hopefully just) retooling of the already contending team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice year for rebuilding the system and (hopefully just) retooling of the already contending team. Exactly my thinking. And this might just be my opinion, but give me a talented guy who's deemed "uncoachable" (and I think there's always two sides to the story in cases like these) over the not so talented guy that coaches rave about.

NorthSideSox72 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 With that much hitting talent, worth a shot. He may have sort of figured things out, and can be coached. If not, I'm sure it was a very low money deal, no big loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have known that, but in high school I think i started a bonfire and got drunk with my friends the night of the school play. I had so much direction in my life.

JPN366 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) I think he's likely to be wearing a purple weenie on his chest come April. W-S needs a power hitting 1B type for 2009. Otherwise, Christian Marrero will be starting at 1B. I would guess that Brandon Allen will start out in B'ham (YAY!) and move up to Charlotte mid-season. Then, Loman comes up to B'ham.
