ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 It's funny, when I saw this on Twitter I went "Oh hell yes!", and then I realized he's 28 now and it's not 2010 when he was a top 20 prospect in baseball. Man, he was great with Philly, and then really became mediocre when Oakland acquired him. I see he is being assigned to AAA, but he's got to be better than Sierra right? At least, offensively.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Kind of sucks losing Jake Sanchez. Although he was dominating a league he was too old for, I wanted to see how he did in AA. Maybe the Sox felt it would be better to trade him now before he gets exposed in AA, and let the A's find out for themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd_city_saint787 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 He's been pretty solid in the minors sans this year. Never really showed anything in the majors. Maybe he's a Steverson guy. Jake Sanchez, who the Sox gave up, was an interesting prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting timing considering they just picked up Tuiasosopo, and still have Danks, Tekotte, and Mitchell on the Charlotte roster....and they want to give Semien some playing time in the OF.

Mitchell has got to be released any day now. And maybe we will see Danks or Taylor called up if the Sox dump Sierra or trade De Aza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I've always liked Taylor. Hopefully he earns a shot with the Sox. Sanchez is a small price to pay. I still am absolutely love everything Rick Hahn has done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying it was wrong because I think De Aza is going to get hot and at come at least close to his norm before it is over, but his being on the roster is Hahn. If you love everything Hahn has done great. But even Hahn hasn't loved everything Hahn has done. Chances Michael Taylor ever helps the White Sox win games is close to zero. This was to help Charlotte win some games. Their record is brutal. Sometimes. You have to throw them a bone.

If you love everything Hahn has done great. But even Hahn hasn't loved everything Hahn has done. No, you're right, they aren't all hits in retrospect. I'd definitely mulligan 10-20% of them. But I don't think there's anything that he's done that I haven't liked at the time he did it. Each one is a gamble, so they won't ever all work out.

caulfield12 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 What's to lose? Charlotte has a brand-new stadium and a terrible record, so any little bit of excitement helps. God knows, Erik Johnson hasn't been providing it. If you want to pick on Hahn, it's easier to choose Keppinger and Downs, for example, although Scott had a great track record of consistent performance coming into 2014. Paulino didn't cost that much, and picking up Noesi more than erased that bad move. DeAza is still better than anyone we have at the moment for that position, although they might as well give Taylor a shot at some point to see if he can catch fire. Better than the 8th rendition of Jordan Danks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
