July 14, 201411 yr QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 08:00 PM) Then bring him up. I think they're probably waiting for Viciedo/De Aza/both to be traded, and don't want to lose Sierra. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 08:01 PM) He's also 29 years old. Well, 28, but yeah. However, there's an argument to be made that he's had the talent to play in the majors but was blocked at Oakland by a very strong outfield corps and that his good numbers in the minors should supercede his very limited spells in the majors. I guess we'll see, I would expect him in Chicago by August. Edited July 14, 201411 yr by Feeky Magee

I remember the Sox were worried about waiving Dewayne Wise because someone might claim him. they seem to overrate these guys who can't hit. Didn't realize he was 28 - that's close to an org guy. I hope we didn't give anyone too interesting. It was a pitcher, too, of which the Sox are particularly lacking. Edited July 14, 201411 yr by GreenSox
July 14, 201411 yr Taylor has a curious problem - a guy with massive natural power that doesn't take aggressive enough hacks at the plate or look to loft/pull. No reason not to give him a shot if a chance comes up.
