Around SBN: NHL Trade Rumors: Do You Make A Move For Rick Nash?

Follow the Herd to White Sox Minor League Update


With September approaching, that means it's time to consider roster expansion. Any player on a team's 40 man roster can be brought up to the majors without needing to send a player down. September call-ups are used to take a look at promising young players who may be in consideration for next season's team or simply to reward players on a good minor league season. The White Sox 40 man roster currently sits at 39, so there's the possibility of another player being added (*cough* Daniel Hudson *cough*) but, of the players on it already who have not made their MLB debuts, who do you think is most deserving?

Poll
Which of these players most deserves a call-up in September?
Lucas Harrell

Jon Link
46 votes
Dayan Viciedo

Jeffrey Marquez

Clevelan Santeliz

wow. slim pickens, larry.

last year i would have said to give link a look, but he’s been pretty shitty this year. with the exception of viciedo, we know that the rest of those guys suck at the game of baseball.

i suppose i’d bring up viciedo. not to play, mind you, but just to get to spend a month with a couple of fellow cubans as well as several other spanish-speakers. this has to have been a difficult year for him and i think he’s handled it pretty well. throw the kid a bone. they’ve already invested the money. i think it’d be good for him.

I was initially going to refrain from voting due to the awfulness of the non cubans on that list

But I like your idea MM. I don’t know if that’s the type of thing the Sox would do, but it would be nice for Dayan to get to hang and learn from Count and Che

I'd like to see Viciedo get called up, just to get used to the drag of the regular season

Alexei is a punching bag for so many Sox fans, I don’t know how much it affects him, but there is a lot of pressure for him to succeed given the contract and Che’s successful rookie season.

Theft, no respect for team mates, the ladies, property etc. Claiming things of his were stolen so his agent would buy him more. Basically everyone in B’ham wants to see the back of him.

That was just from one source but it does back up the line from Rogers in the BA handbook about him “getting by on cockiness more than ability”, I think that was the line Rogers used.

It seems a strange decision on his part

especially if the reported above slot offer from the Sox is true. Law does note that Morgado has “first-round stuff”, but even still, if he has a bad year he’ll plummet down draft boards.

The risk seems much greater than the reward.

kinda sucks that he can't seek the services of an agent

or someone that could do that kind of math for him. this is confirmation bias is playing out here, i guess. it would be an interesting study to see how well players do in choosing when to go pro. i assume they do badly as i’d guess players as a rule overrate their talent and chances of success. that would lead to them going back to school more than they should, right?

Just the fact they are farther from free agency alone should be enough of a reason to go pro. In baseball where so many guys don’t make it, it just doesn’t seem like a good idea to pass up gauranteed money.

Even if he does make a bit more over the next 5 years by going back in the draft, he’s missing an entire year of getting anything. It would take a substantial raise to make that worth it.

BA on hudson and link
Hudson, 22, showed three pitches that scouts who have seen him this year have said all at least flash as major league average or better. Hudson’s fastball ranged from 90-93 mph, mostly coming in at 91-92. He didn’t have great command, however, as he had to leave after throwing 91 pitches (53 strikes) and too often started behind in the count.

..

Hudson’s changeup elicited more than a handful of swings and misses, showing good sink and fade at 81-83 mph. His 81-86 slider was a solid pitch at times (scouts who have seen him this year have said it’s flashed average tilt), though it flattened out occassionally when he dropped his arm slot. Hudson also flashed a couple of slow but big-breaking 70-71 curveballs as a show-me pitch.
Charlotte closer Jon Link is already 25, but the righthander has a solid three-pitch mix and is averaging 10.4 strikeouts per nine innings. On the flip side, he also has walked 4.2 per nine with a 4.56 ERA in 49 1/3 innings for the Knights.

While pitching a scoreless ninth inning yesterday, Link showed a 93-94 mph fastball, an 85 mph slider and an 82 mph changeup.

slump of pride

that must be it…unlike speed, pride can slump

viciedo isn't in lineup repeatedly. reasonable options include:

option 1: called up.
option 2: injury

he’s not playing well, so why call him up? hence, i said injury is more likely. ffs.

Maybe he's - I don't know - tired.

Would be reasonable since he’s perhaps not played as much/hard as this ever. And it’s scorching hot in B’ham. Maybe?

hotter than havana?

I think you have a point with him playing longer/harder than ever, but I wouldn’t think it is a heat issue

by soxshenanigans on Aug 22, 2009 1:47 PM CDT up reply actions  

As someone who has trained for marathons in Orlando in July-Nov for 8 years,

heat is heat, and it’s tough to get used to it. If he is playing longer in it it’ll still tire him. But maybe it has nothing to do with his stamina. He’s 21.
