hi8is Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 QUOTE (jphat007 @ Mar 10, 2015 -> 01:54 PM) I really like Micah Johnson I also like the tools... My concern is his ability to combat the inevitable big league struggles. If you watch him closely - any play on defense or at the plate that doesn't go his way leads to a very visible display of irritation. Normally, that's fine... It shows fire. With Micah thou, he reminds me of a toddler throwing a tantrum. My baseball sixth sense sees weakness and room for growth here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Trayce Thompson threw a guy out at 2nd. He's having a nice spring on both sides of the ball. Not going to make the OD roster, but would be nice for him to have a big year in AAA. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 10, 2015 -> 04:05 PM) Any analysis on Danish today above-and-beyond the box score? His 4S was around 88-90 according to Gameday, FWIW. He's got tons of movement but that's been a fear with him, at least for me, all along. Then again it is ST and he may be getting stretched out.

Hopefully Ventura talks to him about showing up umpires. Not what you want to do right out of the gate. Same thing with Rodon being a perfectionist. Part of his pitching growth will be to understand that not every pitch will be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would feel much better with Rickie Weeks or Chris Denorfia on the roster. I think most of us hate the signing.

caulfield12 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Micah Johnson has dominated this game offensively and defensively... Would have been the best play of the spring had he held onto it according to Royals' radio guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 With Johnson apparently running (lol) away with the 2B job, Beckham is really only considered for the UTIL INF job. And he'd be fine for that, hitting against LHP a lot. It's him or Carlos Sanchez in that role (theoretically could be both but not likely). I think they're both fine for that.

The season is too long to let things bother you. Vow to do better then let it roll off your back. I listened to a pretty good interview with Logan Morrison on 710 ESPN here in Seattle the other morning where he talked about learning to control his emotions (both negative and positive) and how for most guys it only comes with experience. Personally I'd rather have Micah build up his confidence in AA or AAA for a couple months and then re-evaluate the situation at 2B. MLB is not the place to learn this stuff. There isn't much upside in having him the starter and Sanchez only seeing action once or twice a week and say for instance (and it could very well happen, a hot spring means little to nothing when the real games start) he struggles out of the gate and is hitting 180/220/300 in late May -- then what do you do? It makes so much more sense to start with Sanchez and have Micah in AAA knocking down (hopefully) the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Someone show Micah the video footage of Quentin braking his wrist. Maybe that will help Micah to chill a bit. Seriously though, I think or am hoping its just Micah pressing because he knows he has a serious shot at the second base opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sox think he's earned it fine, but all this talk is just confirmation bias after 20 PA. I mean seriously, PUMP THE f***ING BREAKS. Every single year it seems someone is anointed the next big thing in camp this year Rodon and Micah get to split the honors. I can only hope the Sox are a little more savvy then some of the fans and media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of the last time someone was annointed next big thing since like Ryan Sweeney was referred to as a baseball god. For a lot of people, there was wonder on just why the org tended to view micah with so much preference. This is the first time people can see that. Honestly, I think you can chill, you read 4 posts in a game thread and then go off the deepend. Heads up, every small action is a career indictment in game threads.
