bmags Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 09:37 AM) We'll see. Hopefully, they are confident he's ready to learn in the MLB. It doesn't mean he needs to be an All-Star right away. He just needs to show the ability and hoefully the progress. Let's hope the media doesn't "shields" him and create too much hype around it. But they aren't showing confidence that they have patience for players learning in the MLB considering they've DFA'd like 14 players.

RockRaines Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Honestly, he looked pretty ready to me in ST so I think his offensive improvements make him even closer to being there. He better be put in the lineup immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we have to keep that in mind though and hope to see adjustments in september. Let's just keep special attention to teh times where his fast hands adjust mid pitch to make contact with the ball.

flavum Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 He's pretty "loud" at the plate. Lots of bat movement getting ready to hit. We'll see how that plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just keep special attention to teh times where his fast hands adjust mid pitch to make contact with the ball. Also, it seems he struggles for a month or so at each level and then starts to adjust. It may be longer at the top level, so let's hope his confidence stays with him.

shipps Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 One of things that worries me is I really hope this isnt another move of urgency from the FO. Rushing a guy up who you arent totally sold into being ready just because you think he may bring some offense to the team is so dangerous. This kid cannot be thought to be the savior here. He might be wanting to be the savior knowing that the team is struggling which is overwhelming for a young kid....even for the best of the best prospects in the league.

If it plays well, it will be awesome, because not only does he look like an awesome movie casting of a baseball player, but also swings like gary Sheffield which is how every kid my age tried to swing growing up.

I dunno guys. I have the same feeling. There hasn't been many hitting prospects to really be excited about. Even Trayce was pretty much whatever. I think Beckham may have been the last one that made people excited and while he was great that year, initially he struggled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Bringing up top prospect Tim Anderson is a real consideration now for chisox. BA up to. 304. Rollins is struggling. https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/741288043504668673 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that it was like Josh Fields, I think. Difference is, everyone thought Fields was ready and he was worse than Beckham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condor13 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 If this is true I'm thrilled at the recent moves from the FO. In the past they would have never made some of them. DFA Danks, Sands, Rollins, Latos and bringing in Shields, Anderson, and Morneau. Then they draft Collins, Burdi, and the OK pitcher. On Anderson, I think they are in WIN NOW mode and saw that Tyler is not an everyday player. Since he has been playing everyday lately his defense has dipped and his offense is still way below average. At least this move should bring a lot more energy to the ballpark, in the dugout and in the stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Anderson will join the White Sox today as first reported by @barstoolWSD. He figures to be part of the starting lineup against the Royals https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/741291024836927488 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
