Hey J.........
This isn't good news for your boy Edwin Yan.
Q: Richard Wambach from St. Charles, IL asks:
Edwin Yan had a fairly decent year at Winston-Salem and I believe that he led the organization in stolen bases. Since the Sox could use additional speed, is Yan a possibility for the middle of the infield in the next 2-3 years?
A: Phil Rogers: Edwin Yan has speed and defensive range but not a lot else. He's still a project at the plate. He's going to go to the Southern League in 2003 but won't get above it unless he hits the ball more solidly. His average at Winston-Salem was built largely on bunts and infield hits.
