What's your take on Viciedo? Here is a guy that looked like he had finally figured it out last year and this year is garbage at the plate in my opinion

 

I think he needs a change of scenery, but if you're in a rebuilding season next year, there's no harm in holding on to him another year unless you get great value for him.

My take is what Fathom said and what I just said. He needs to be reborn/remade. He's a very very bad baseball hitter right now.

Miggy just took Mariano deep to tie it.

He's incredible, and one of the biggest reasons 2014 make sense for rebuilding is that it's not realistic to think you can compete with this Tigers team next year.

Here's that Hahn interview...

Thanks!

 

Surprised to hear Hahn refer to a particular type of fan as a "meatball" fan

That was a bad at bat by Tank. Hope he learns how to hit the next 6 weeks and starts out strong next year. Can't somebody teach Tank how to hit?? If not Manto bring in somebody else to work with Tank on developing an approach up there that doesn't require him trying to hit everything 600 feet.

Perfect example of the frustration felt by Manto and Baines. Five hittable balls,and he overswung on everyone of them. The guy is regressing big time.

That's two in a row, he should lose his closer job. (His ERA has ballooned up to 2.08!)

Yes sir...we are of one mind lately

Who is Detroit's hitting coach? We could use a disciple to work with Little Miggy and Viciedo. Pls. fire Manto.

He is horrible at adjusting his hands depending on where the pitch is.

That's what frustrated me there so much. Those pitches were all hittable like u said.

For those that didn't listen to the Hahn interview, he flat out said the Sox are rebuilding.

Yeah, said he doesn't care what people want to call it.

 

Thank you.

According to Heyman, Miggy fouled two balls off his leg, was in obvious pain, then hit the 2-run homer. Best hitter since Bonds.

I thought it was interesting that he made no mention of trying to field a significantly better team in 2014.

Bonds doesn't deserve credit like this. Who would be at least a possibly clean player ?

Phegley walk off coming.

How do you know Miggy is clean?

I don't, I just don't like giving credit to past hitters who were consensus cheaters.

Woulda been nice to get the leadoff man on base, instead a weak fly ball.

As much as I hate Bernstein, he is by far the most qualified member of the Chicago media to interview Hahn.

How often do you think guys in the Sox org read this site?

Josh's on base percentage isn't very good. Hope he's learning.

I thought it was a fantastic interview, especially the first 10 minutes or so.

Axelrod..here we go
