flavum Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Sox acquire utility guy Cody Puckett from the Reds for cash. Mostly a 2B. Edited March 24, 2013 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 •Infielder/outfielder Cody Puckett has been traded from the Reds, with whom he has spent his entire career, to the White Sox, Puckett himself tweeted. In return, the Reds will receive a player to be named later, tweets John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Splitting last season between Double-A and Triple-A, Puckett saw time in the infield (mostly at second) and corner outfield, and hit .233/.306/.390 with 16 home runs over 488 plate appearances. More depth for the AAA roster. Seems like he's got some pop. Not sure how good his IF defense is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I actually really like these sorts of acquisitions, trading for guys who have fallen behind or out of favor with their current organization. He's not going to hit for average - a career .257 minor league average tells that story - but he does have power and his strikeout rates aren't terrible. Best case scenario you have a guy like Bill Hall (probably not the .900 OPS season), and otherwise it doesn't affect anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
