danman31 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jul 8, 2010 -> 12:26 AM) But will he be kind of a Mark Reynolds all or nothing player? Can he hit maybe .250? He definitely won't walk. He makes enough contact to hit well above .250. Don't think you can compare him to Reynolds at all. Viciedo will probably have less power, they're opposite with walks and Viciedo doesn't strike out even close to as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 10:09 PM) not to me, he looks fat and out of shape, especially for someone so young He's definitely a big kid but don't think he's fat. Can't really tell with the Sox wearing black but I think he's fit. Just massive legs and upper body strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 10:40 PM) Who is running the pool for his first base on balls? I'm thinking September. That would be a fun thing to do. The Viciedo Walk pool. You should start a thread and give away $1,000,000 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Tank with a huge bomb today about 4 rows short of the concourse in LF . Estimated distance about 435-450 feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I know people don't like the fact that he doesnt walk, but he's only struck out 4 times in his first 40 major league at bats. As a 21 year old. So just keep that in mind.

Estimated distance about 435-450 feet. Â It looked like he struck it well off the bat, maybe enough to get into the first 3-4 rows. When I actually saw it fly that far up, I was amazed.

When I actually saw it fly that far up, I was amazed. Â Â Amazingly, I do not think he even hit it with everything he had...the wind did help,but I think he will put one on the pavilion before he is done with the Sox. Â I love what I see so far from this young man. Better fitness than advertised,soft hands, cannon arm, makes contact,and when he stripes it...like that line drive in the gap...the ball comes off his bat in a special way. He could end up being a complete stud for a decade on the south side...please do not trade him,kenny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what if Viciedo turns out to be able to hit like Miguel Cabrera, or even 80% of Cabrera? He won't have been worth trading for Fielder. Sox need some cheap stars, like TCQ, to keep the payroll from going off the charts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I think trading Viciedo would be extremely dumb as would not giving him the 3B job. Just say no to Teahen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
