Hanson has played there just three times in his entire professional career. But Leury's been a revelation so far.

Thomas_Ventura_Roberts Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 It is interesting to go back and read a good scouting report on Garcia when he was even younger. The ones that I read thought he had a floor as a utility player because of his speed and defense, but they held thought his ceiling was high as they thought he might be able to hit really well. Of course, they thought it way to early to tell exactly how good of a hitter he might or might not be. I know Darren Jackson knew him when he first came to the White Sox; and at that time, he really thought that Leury would be a player who needed time, but that he would turn out to be a real good player. Interesting stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting stuff. Frankly I always thought Leury's ceiling was utility guy. He looked like he was going to get the bat knocked out of his hand early in his Sox career. But much like Sanchez he has improved his hit tool to the point his floor now looks like utility guy. I agree his early scouting reports don't seem so far off now.

winninguglyin83 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 What about Engel? Wasn't he 6 for 20 with four steals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree his early scouting reports don't seem so far off now. I still think he is most valuable in that utility role the way Zobrist was used in Tampa, except able to handle SS and CF better and with less power. If he can become a super utility guy when the Sox find a CF, that is extremely valuable in being able to get guys regular rest without sacrificing production. And with his versatility, its possible to keep his bat in the lineup nearly everyday. With Tilson *maybe* back in the next couple of weeks, it will be interesting to see what they do with the two.
