I think we'll end up trading him for a dime on the dollar, at best for someone who can use a pinch runner. I wouldn't expect more than a D+ prospect. Viciedo might actually excite the fans around here.

I really do think they should call up Dayan. Just some fresh blood could give the offense the spark it badly needs.
After the Twins sweep, I was so pissed with Juan that I agreed. But, the SOX are probably better off keeping him around as a late inning pinch runner than trading him for some prospect that will never make it.

Jared Mitchell goes 0-5, 5 K today.
Down to .205/.250/.385 K rate at 39.3% which is absolutely awful. Yuck. |

Nice to see there is an upside going on somewhere in the organization!

I saw him playing in the AFL on MLB Network and he had one of the longest swings I have ever seen. He and the organization might have been better off if he stayed with football because I just can't see him making much progress at all.

Not to overreact, but I just don't think this kid is ever going to pan out. He's like Cory Patterson, athletically, but without the skills.

With Mitchell, I still hold out a modicum of hope. I suppose that this is only for the fact that the "braintrust" probably has Mitchell at a higher level than he should be.
Granted, WS isn't all that high of a level, but WS is still at the highest level Mitchell has ever played. Moreover, given him coming off an injury, and having somewhat raw skills, I'm not all that surprised that he's not doing well. So, I preach patience with Mitchell. [For now.] |

I personally like that the Sox are challenging him with tougher High-A pitching. |

Where do you draw the line between challenging a player and just plain throwing him in over his head?

AA would have been throwing him in over his head. Mitchell has played 34 games at low-A so it's not unreasonable to think he could handle the added difficulty of high-A, especially if he looked good in extended spring training this year. |

The White Sox approach to how they develop high draft picks simply baffles me, and it doesn't surprise me that so many of them fail, since they set every one of them up to do just that. |
