White Sox Sweep Pirates, Dayan Viciedo Promoted For Some Reason
by The Cheat on Jun 17, 2010 10:33 PM CDT
in White Sox Game Recaps
Email
PrintAs seems to happen every year around this time, the struggling White Sox surge towards respectability has coincided with the annual trip through the National League, and specifically the lowly Pittsburgh Pirates, now losers of eleven straight. I might compliment the Sox on their recent streak, winning 7 of their last 8 if it wasn't for the competition. It's sad to say, but this weekend's series with the Washington Nationals is a better barometer than games against the Cubs at Pirates.
While the Sox appear to be a team headed back in the right direction -- the starting pitching has been especially good over the last 10 games -- they're still a flawed team making questionable decisions. Jake Peavy was scratched from Thursday's game with fluid in/on his shoulder, but swears he'll be fine with rest and is scheduled to start Saturday. But the most obvious problem with the Sox, the one that was plainly obvious from the day the roster was constructed, lies in their lack of competent major league bats. The Sox finally did something to remedy that following Thursday's game by calling up Dayan Viciedo.
Wait, what?
Sure, Viciedo has hit .300 in each of the last two months at AAA, and has demonstrated some of the pop that was promised upon his $10M signing, but his woeful 52-to-8 K/BB ratio speaks volumes about his MLB readiness. I'm actually much more bullish on Viciedo than Larry and other prospect gurus, but it's clear that Viciedo needs to refine his approach with considerable more minor league time.
Yet the White Sox seem to think that rushing a kid who has no position and no defensive upside is the answer to their offensive troubles. I'm sure Greg Walker can help him ease right into a Major League approach at the plate.

like most things white sox
it defines reason.
i wonder if newton’s laws of motion actually apply in the front office.
I expect Viciedo to fool plenty with an Andruw Jones-like start
but in reality, he’s a less selective Jones without the defensive value

if you want someone up for offensive worth,
which can be the only skewed logic behind this, then surely flowers is who you bring-up.
i don’t see this going well for viciedo, but i’d like to be wrong.

Jones with a much faster swing, i bet he starts off fast then cools off once they start throwing him breaking balls

Viciedo did improve his walk rate around the time he started hitting
yeah thats all I got

I read that he was promoted and was really confused
Also, will he play 3rd? I thought he was moved to first, but with Nix released – who plays 3rd? Only Vizquel now or will we see Viciedo there?
The Cuban Tank joins the Cuban Missle, the White Sox will now have the most explosive offense in baseball. I’ll go back to my friends Jack Daniels and Johnny Walker now.

Viciedo in his short time
has already outperformed the expected production at AAA. He probably DH’s more but if the team is not going to make a deal yet why not take a shot? Is he likely to be successful? Maybe not but I don’t think he’s somehow “ruined”. Nix provided squat.
And if his “fool plenty” start helps the White Sox into contention (the point) initially, I will take it. This team up to this point has not been beating pretty much any team so I don’t see the point in dogging it when they do actually win.

I'd add that I was pretty much dead set against this
especially with his initial start, but I definitely have come around somewhat as he really displayed the power. Again maybe he fails right now but I like the chance. As for the timing, I like that also. Why not bring him up in middle of a somewhat hot street? Less pressure I think. This doesn’t satisfy my call for radical behavior but its a start.

Not really
I’m realistic on what to expect. I just don’t get all this “omg Dayan is up for Jason freaking Nix!” As I said I don’t think he will be ruined. You are not starting any clock on him and sometimes these players provide lifts before the league figures them out.

This does start his clock.
The deal he signed doesn’t affect his arbitration status, those rules still apply.
I dont understand coffee
What are you saying? My impression is Alexei and Dayan have 4 year deals, with 2 years of arbitration. Has does this change anything? What rule am I confusing.
Buggin' Out: "Yo, Sal, we're gonna boycott your fat pasta ass."
Sal: "You're gonna boycott me? You haven't got the *balls* to boycott me. Here, here's your boycott, up your ass, you've got a boycott."
the 4 year deals are for four real years
not 4 of the 6 team control years. For Alexei his deal lines up the four real years with the four control years because he spent no time in the minors.
but Viciedo burned his first contract year in the minors (2009) which left 3 years on his contract and 6 years of team control. you only burn team control years if you are on the 25 man roster.
make sense?
ahhh got you.
thanks.

I'm guessing in these NL games, he'll only see time at 3b
And he will probably sit against tough righties. I’m interleague games at home, I’d guess he will Dh or play 1b, with him and Paulie switching it up between those two spots. And after interleague, if he’s playing well enough, he’ll prob just be playing either DH or 1B. They might give him a shot at 3b tho. From what I’ve heard, he’s got a cannon. Fielding isn’t good tho. Then again, I don’t see him being worse than Nix, and even before Nix, Teahen isn’t exactly Brooks Robinson either.

Perfect time to call up Viciedo. This is definitely a head-scratcher……is KW feeling some pressure and hoping that a “called up and never stops hitting ala Pujols Viciedo” is what he needs to show Jerry he’s worth keeping around as GM. I don’t get this…..
He was called up to hopefully provide additional offensive help
And KW is not in trouble with Reinsdorf.

I guess it could also be that KW is now operating as if the Sox are back in it and he knows
he needs a 3B option that is not Vizquel. So before he explores the secondary market (Lowell, etc) he figures why not just see if the kid can do anything over the next 40 days?

it probably helps the timing a little bit that he’s riding a hot streak in AAA. With higher confidence, the transition will be a bit easier than if had been struggling some
-Jeeves Life in the Cell
I agree
To me it looks like a somewhat panicky move by KW to justify pumping a lot of money into a player who looks like he’ll be a washout. Hope he proves me wrong, but $10mil for a guy who can’t field a position with zero plate discipline looks like a a big waste of money.
Add in the Teahen and Kotsay contracts, and there’s $25mil swirling down the toilet with zero rate of return. And let’s not talk about Peavy just yet.

He's only 21, and should be able to hit lefties.
Could/should be an upgrade over Nix currently, and with a higher upside.
Could also be an admission that Jones ain’t working.

Pete wtf are you talking about?
So now Dayan, in his 1 1/3 years of professional ball looks like a washout???? You do realize he is 21 years old right?
And what does Teahan and Kotsay have to do with anything? Is this some type of Oliver Stone line connection that I’m missing that has Peavy in the grassy knoll?
It’s one thing to think Dayan is not ready. It’s another to imply the kid is a buster. Forget the 10 million. It’s actually cheap in light of the international scene and his cuban free agency.
Im sorry I totally disagree about it being a panicky move. Its a more a “lets see what the kid can do?” The White Sox have decisions to make in the next few weeks. I expect to see Hudson soon too.

Sal: "You're gonna boycott me? You haven't got the *balls* to boycott me. Here, here's your boycott, up your ass, you've got a boycott."
He's only under control until 2012
He might be major league ready in a couple years, but he doesn’t look like it now. As far as the CWS are concerned, he needs to start producing pretty damn quick to justify a sizable investment.

wrong
The Sox have him for 6 years. Second any decent minor leaguer that was a free agent instead of drafted would make coin. The White Sox are not Oakland. 2.5 million a year is not crippling. Gimme a break.

If he puts up any kind of numbers in the next couple years good luck re-signing him.

But to me DV seems a mistake. No discipline at neither the home nor dinner plate. Too fat to be of use at 3B, which is ridiculous for a 21yr old. And he’s making so much money you can’t tell him anything.
Not exactly the guy I’d like to see rewarded with a callup.

He closes his eyes and swings for the fences each AB, sounds just like Uribe – but a younger, fatter one wo any defense and a big FU contract.

"and I haven’t even seen him play"
Yeah that pretty much sums it up. No one is arguing that he doesn’t need a better eye. But he has 28 xbh in 69 hits. Your argument that its a big fat contract is just silly. How do you know what kind of shape he’s in now? Seems to me a lot of his performance shows improvement and he has had some success in AAA so far when almost no one thought it would happen this year. This reeks of pointless overreacting and using a kk/bb ratio to run with it.

For those not ready to jump off the dead end
Jim’s perspective.
This move makes sense, although Viciedo will probably be used sparingly due to his present inability to hit righties:
* vs. LHP: .365/.426/.800, four walks over 55 ABs.
* vs. RHP: .268/.298/.443, four walks over 183 ABs.
But really, hitting lefties is all they need Viciedo to do, and even if he’s not ready, he’d be hard-pressed to hit them worse than Nix did. The Shetland Pony was just 2-for-28 against southpaws, which made him useless. He hadn’t played well at third, so if "versatility" was the only thing he offered, Omar Vizquel and Brent Lillibridge can easily handle his duties.

in summary (and unfortunately wu-ish): GTFOTS!
erm.
you’re not going to learn that much from 300 PA, let alone if you split them in half. his scouting report is all bat speed, so if he can’t hit righties it’s because he can’t touch a slider.
