Well I dont want beckham on this team so anything is better then him at this point
Semien, Sanchez, and Saladino's corpse are probably better options at this point.

Hawk mentioned Adam Ricks was out in the bullpen. He stopped playing after 2011. Is he some sort of bullpen coach/general instructor now?
He's the pre game instructor

Pablo Ozuna and Timo Perez lead off 36 times for a team that won a title.
Ozuna is twice the player Garcia is. Perez was horrific, but still better than Garcia at the plate.
General thoughts right now.
Too high:
Spencer Adams- Top 5 is a stretch for me for a high schooler in front of guys putting up some gaudy minor league stats.
Francellis Montas- We only have ten starts to go by when it comes to being impressed.
Matt Davidson- With so many guys having great seasons I wouldn't have been surprised to see him at ten or lower
Micker Adolfo- Maybe not too high, maybe not too low but right now he's a crap shoot prospect who hasn't done anything in limited time.
Cleulius Rondon- He will never make the majors with his current bat. He makes way too many errors as well for supposedly being a plus glove. I know MiL errors don't matter much but when it's you're one tool you better be Rey Ordonez.
Too low:
Tyler Danish- the second best pitching prospect in my mind with how he's dominated every level at his age aside from a 10 inning adjustment.
Carlos Sanchez- Seems like a very high floor player. Hope we see him again soon.
Trey Michalczewski- . I think he's a top 10 prospect now
Kevin Smith- A catcher destroying the ball and can be up by next year? Sign me up.
Nice to see Jace Fry in there as well. Really think he's going to be a good one for us.
With 100 million left the Phillies should consider dumping him. They wont, especially with Amaro, but would hate to see the Cubs backdoor their way to finding an ace.

I've thought he has looked pretty good defensively at a few positions. I think you think they know this. I'm not too sure that they think it yet. We'll know this off season.
He's he because we have a mascot on the bench, no more no less. He is just an awful major league player.
QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 6, 2014 -> 03:53 PM)
This is a rebuilding/retooling year. The Sox want to see if he could handle it for next year or further in the future. That's really what they are doing with most everyone on the team.
He can't. The Sox know this.

Versatile defensive player. Saves a spot when you don't need a backup INF and OF.
Why do we have to have him save a spot, again?
