August 1, 201510 yr There's our bat once he gets called up. Good work. Clearly the one we needed. Edited August 1, 201510 yr by Baron
August 1, 201510 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 04:12 PM) and where did that come from??? If Williams and Hahn think this is what the White Sox need, they need to be shipped out.
August 1, 201510 yr Author QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 04:19 PM) If Williams and Hahn think this is what the White Sox need, they need to be shipped out. Every team makes mundane transactions all the time. They traded for Justin Sellers the other day. They signed Viciedo today. Nobody should care about this other than it happened and it's noteworthy.

August 1, 201510 yr Author QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 04:30 PM) If he's on the 40 man, it's a disaster. He's not, and it wouldn't matter if he was.
August 1, 201510 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 04:31 PM) He's not, and it wouldn't matter if he was. I hope you're right. I sure would like the Sox to be in it in September. We'll see I guess.
August 1, 201510 yr He really hurt himself by holding out for a MLB deal. After well over a month of no action, he went to AAA and struggled a lot.
August 1, 201510 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 05:21 PM) Well, we needed a power hitting right fielder... We still need a power hitting right fielder.
August 1, 201510 yr QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 06:48 PM) We still need a power hitting right fielder. Supposedly they really wanted DeAza but the Red Sox would not trade him.
August 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 11:21 PM) Well, we needed a power hitting right fielder... you know, you got me thinking. thompson was promoted to the majors, leaving a void in the team he is leaving. could it be a simple replacement for thompson??

August 2, 201510 yr Tank will primarily DH and play 1B for Charlotte. Tonight Tank is 2 for 3 so far playing DH
August 2, 201510 yr One thing about Tank is that he never bought into trying to make the adjustments that the White Sox wanted him to make. Maybe he will be more amenable to making those adjustments now that he has a second chance.

Maybe he will be more amenable to making those adjustments now that he has a second chance. You'd think this would humble him as Beckham was humbled going to the Angels last year. However, Gordon's performance with the Sox shows again, it's not all mental. Beckham just doesn't have what it takes to hit in the bigs. Dayan may get one more chance to actually have a clue at the plate. Certainly he's been humbled. If he's not, he's hopeless upstairs. I mean he's moved around a bit since Sox let him go. He's actually a more valuable hitter than Avi as it turns out. Viciedo is good for 20 homers a year at least, to go with all the Ks. Avi appears to be a .260ish hitter with no home run pop and not a whole lot of ribbies.
August 2, 201510 yr at least Tank can hit home runs... Avi is better on defense but offers zero punch at the plate.

August 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 08:48 PM) at least Tank can hit home runs... Avi is better on defense but offers zero punch at the plate. And that's kind of relative. Avi's better than Hanley Ramirez or 2013/14 Viciedo but not 2012 Viciedo IMO.
August 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 2, 2015 -> 02:48 AM) at least Tank can hit home runs... Avi is better on defense but offers zero punch at the plate. well with another 0 fer tonite, maybe he will be willing to take over as DH.
August 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 09:48 PM) at least Tank can hit home runs... Avi is better on defense but offers zero punch at the plate. Give me Avi. Dude hits for average at least. Viciedo isn't a major league baseball player.
August 2, 201510 yr Here is my text to Eminor3rd: "The White Sox bring back Viciedo. Of course they do. Can't they ever move on?" At the end of the day, it's a busted talented prospect who's young and has MLB experience who could be something but....naaaaahhhh.
August 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 1, 2015 -> 02:52 PM) He really hurt himself by holding out for a MLB deal. After well over a month of no action, he went to AAA and struggled a lot. Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
