December 11, 201312 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 07:47 PM) Why does everyone think Seager sucks and can be had so easily. He is a nice player and Seattle isn't moving him. Don't we pick 3rd like the amateur draft? Or am I missing something. Nope. Wite: "I don' think anyone has said ADA sucks." Me: "JoshPR only posts to say ADA sucks." Marlins 40 man is full so we pick second unless.they decide to clear a spot by draft time.

December 11, 201312 yr Dave Cameron makes an excellent point about LoMo. David Cameron @DCameronFG 16m The Mariners like Justin Smoak so much they just acquired his twin.
December 11, 201312 yr Dan Hayes @DanHayesCSN 2m Has two 3-team trades so why not another? Rick Hahn said #WhiteSox still considering direct and 3-team deals. Lot of ideas floating around. Expand https://twitter.com/DanHayesCSN Yes please
December 11, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jillian Michaels' Abs @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 01:27 PM) Santos Rodriguez... Charlie Leesman... Leyson Septimo... David Purcey... Donnie Veal... I think we are in good shape in regards to terrible lefthanded pitchers. Septimo's gone. Not that anyone would miss him.

December 11, 201312 yr Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo 3m Hearing #WhiteSox looking at catcher Adrian Nieto for the Rule 5 draft. Would possibly trade up to get him. Phegley, Flowers in jeopardy. https://twitter.com/ChrisCotillo
December 11, 201312 yr If the Sox add a young catcher, then I believe this off-season is a huge win. Grabbing Abreu, Eaton, and (insert name of possible young catcher here, Grandal?) would be successful. Shedding Danks' contract would be icing on the cake.

He's a 24 (just turned) year old who just played in High-A last year. And he has nice stats, but IDK if I would want them to carry him on the 25-man all year.

If he's not very good, they'll give him back or work out a trade to demote him to AAA. It's not a big deal.
December 11, 201312 yr Another Scouting Report 23. Adrian Nieto - A former Aflac All-American and long-time teammate of Eric Hosmer, Nieto has an impressive skillset for a catcher. When the Nationals selected him in the 5th round of the ’08 Draft, many considered Nieto to be the premier switch-hitting catcher in the nation. And though he’s flown under the radar thus far in to his pro career, he’s steadily improved with every promotion and appears poised for a breakout season. Because he’s a catcher, Nieto has been forced to focus on developing his fielding, while many other prospects are able to go almost full speed ahead on their work in the cage. As a result, he’s still a little bit raw for a guy that just turned 23. But, he’s come along steadily over the past few seasons. After hitting .302/.397/.462 in the New York Penn League in 2010, he’s held his own in the South Atlantic League over the past couple of years, totaling a .256 batting average and .739 OPS. Nieto’s two best tools are his power and arm strength. He hits well from both sides of the plate, and he has the juice to drive the ball out to all fields. In batting practice, while batting left-handed, he shows plus homerun power to right field, but he’s also learning to drive outside pitches the other way. His aggressive approach is the only thing standing in the way of bringing more power in to games, and he’s done a nice job of exercising a more disciplined approach recently. Defensively, Nieto has a strong, accurate arm and hes posted pop times in the 1.8-1.9 second range throughout last season. His receiving is improving to a solid level, and while he still has trouble handling hard breaking pitches to his arm side, he looks like he’ll be able to stick at catcher moving forward. If he can make good on his promise, he could be a solid catcher in the Greg Zaun/Johnny Estrada mold.
December 11, 201312 yr QUOTE (dayan024 @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 05:04 PM) Nieto Scouting Report That was written almost 5 years ago so I don't really know if that is relevant anymore. Rather pass on him or try to trade a small piece from the minors for him to be given a shot to start the year in AA. Rule 5 material though? No thanks.
December 11, 201312 yr I'd still like to see them deal for Grandal if at all possible. I know the Padres are high on Austin Hedges and probably wouldn't mind going with Hundley/Baker until he is ready.

December 11, 201312 yr QUOTE (dayan024 @ Dec 11, 2013 -> 05:17 PM) here is a new one Nieto Still think I'd rather bring him on in a minor league trade. go with Perez or a relief pitcher with our pick. With Hahn being determined to leave with a catcher, I wouldn't be surprised to see it be Perez if he doesn't work out a deal by the draft. Edited December 11, 201312 yr by chisoxfan310
December 11, 201312 yr I have a hunch that we're working on a three team trade with the blue jays involving a swap involving Beckham and Larwrie. Both the Jays and Sox beat writers are reporting teams to be exploring three team trades again... With Anthopoulos being quoted as thinking it gets done. Again... Beckham and Lawrie are just speculation on my part.
