He is a big guy, fluid, etc...it all looks like it should work. I dont even blame the Sox for taking the flyer on him right now, but thats doesnt preclude me from taking potshots at the Cubs garbage....as usually, when you take such a flyer, you send him down, maybe work with him "a little" try and do something different? The Sox let him start right away.... |

Go to grad school when you are 30 with $1 mill in the bank! Its why I would advise any kid to take the money when offered. You can attend class with a torn ACL! |

Multiple chances sounds like more than he's had. Half season with Cubs and three weeks with rangers. If he can hit 230 hell stay in majors |

I would have a different opinion if he was taking time from someone I would want to see at that position in the future. At least you don't lose something at defense with him there. The Sox have been at their best this year when they turtled up by sticking to defense and pitching as their path to success. |
