WSoxMatt Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Dayan Viciedo didn't run out a pop and received a special message from general manager Ken Williams during Monday's B game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Viciedo jogged to first base, prompting Williams, who was sitting in the stands, to yell at his Cuban prospect to run to first base. After the out, Williams walked from his seat before home plate to the Sox's dugout to talk to manager Ozzie Guillen about the incident. Matt Thornton threw a scoreless first inning, although he needed an accurate throw from right fielder Stefan Gartrell to home plate to nail Brian Giles to end the inning. Gartrell left the game in the bottom of the second after getting hit on the left knee by a pitch. The Sox lead the Dodgers 3-1 in the bottom of the sixth.

We don’t put up with that stuff here and we don’t like players playing like that ... '' "He promised me it wouldn’t happen again.’’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I hope Viciedo is made to understand this and it doesn't become a big issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a big issue. He's young and comes across as very coachable. I think they're just helping him understand he hasn't earned the slack some of the veterans might get.

Dick Allen Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Andruw Jones wasn't exactly busting it around the bases against the Cubs, although they may have told him to take it easy running the bases. Of course they had him stealing so who knows. They addressed it, he'll loaf again, just about every White Sox loafs down the line on routine plays. I think they just want to send a message to him. He hasn't accomplished anything yet. He can act like a big shot when he becomes one. He looks real pudgy to me. I have the feeling they were hoping he reporting to spring training a little less soft.

If you watched or followed this guy last year you'd know that unless or until he has a major attitude adjustment, he is a longshot at best. Even with that adjustment I have my doubts about his ability to be any kind of an impact player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chisoxfan09 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Even though it was a one time minor infraction against the team´s wotk ethic, you gotta hustle for that kind of money. If this kid is a bust this year then there will be serious calls to cut him. And signing Boras after only one year if true is a terrible move on his part because he has proved nothing yet.

I don't think there's much chance of that happening even if he does have a bad season for B-Ham or Charlotte. As it's been said, the Sox control his rights, so I can't see why they'd just release him. Would be bad management on their part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention he's still only 21 freaking years old and probably gonna start in AAA. Prospects his age are usually still in A ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna not say anything regarding that (usually it seems more younger players get called out, than the vets who do it.. I.E. A.J., Dye when he was here, Castro, etc.. etc.. [Konerko is just naturally slow]) but you just had to make a post like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
