GGajewski18 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 He just got DFA'd by the Astros. Sox have the 2nd priority in the waiver wire. If Oakland does not claim him, if I'm Hahn, I would be all over this just for depth purposes and create more competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 At this point, he'd be worth a try over Gillaspie. They still have Beckham, and the season is pretty much over. DFA Gillaspie and pick up this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And depending on the players option status, there is a good chance at the 25 man roster as well, without exposing him to waivers again.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) He doesn't strike out as much as I would have thought he would. 20% k-rate last year, 16% the year before. He also doesn't walk much either, or hit for a very good average. I don't know what his defense is like, but if he's an above average fielder, I'd give him a flier for sure. EDIT: Apparently he was known as a defensive wizard in the minors, Goldstein at one point calling him the best defensive 3B in all the minors. Apparently that sentiment has not translated in to glowing advanced metrics so far, but he seems to pass the smell test. One reason for the metrics not loving him are that the Astros shift a TON and shifts aren't accounted for in fielding metrics, so that could skew his numbers poorly.

Dick Allen Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Can't hit or field. Sign him up. .660 OPS in the PCL is a bit discouraging. The guy from fangraphs who used to love this guy, now works for the Astros and they DFA'd him. That's pretty much all you need to know.

Yeah he was supposed to be glove-first when he was coming up with the Marlins. I'd certainly give him a flyer but maybe I'm just falling for the name, as I remember when he was a legit prospect.

Quin Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I think I'd honestly rather give Davidson a shot than continue watching Conor out there, so I'm good with making a claim here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Matt Davidson is a better hitter and I'm dead serious in saying that. I've found Dominguez overrated for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he was one of the two players who turned down long-term extensions like the ones Springer and Singleton (wisely) signed. The other was Robbie Grossman.

Jake Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Yeah, I think it would make more sense to take a flyer on the internal candidate than Dominguez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Hoefully Davidsoin can get it figured out. He is leading Charlotte in HR's ad RBI's and of course in K's. Needs to make more contact or be more patient at the plate. I don't know what is the main reason for so many K's. Batting average is low and has been since we got him from AZ. Is his defense better than Gillaspie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
