I don't ever think he'll be a starter here, but if he can put a couple good years together in the upper minors he'll have a big league future somewhere. I'd be willing to take a chance that the kid can improve with reps, and he's only 22 so he's got some time. In terms of darkhorse potential, Chiang is one of our bigger ones right now -- not by any means an established top prospect, but with more than enough tools and talent to become one with the right coaching and a bit of luck.
Nava got exposed with more playing time. He is not a major league regular
I think it's too early to make that conclusion. He does need some work, though.Quote:

EDIT: at the age of 19, he's still very raw but he's got game changing speed, great contact skills and hits the ball to all parts of the field. his .273/.332/.384 batting line at greenville this year won't jump out at anyone but that's pretty respectable considering he's one of the youngest players in the league. he also stole 41 bases in 46 attempts, hit 15 doubles, 3 triples and 5 home runs. he's got plenty of potential to develop more power as he fills out
if he can improve his pitch selection, he could become the elite prospect that the red sox were hoping they'd get with their first round draft pick last year
We should probably update the thread to make it official who has what prospect and that we can all start our own prospect threads.
Somehow the concept of this thread never took hold. Too bad. Lots of interesting developments in the Sox minor leagues.
Edit: Hats off to Dojji.
He made a good call.
Good sleeper pick. He's holding his own as a 19yr old in the long season leagues. When he fills out, he should start hitting for a bit more power.Quote:

Your post exceeded your signature by exactly two words.
What happened to Lars was simple. In the words of the immortal Montgomery Scott, she dinnae have the power. Lars never developed the ability to drive the ball in higher levels that people (myself included) were sure he would do, and he's likely too one-dimensional defensively to make a big league bench, at least in the American League where so much emphasis is placed on versatility among the pineriders.
He does still have some time to turn it around. He's only 23, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that he gets himself up to at least the Lyle Overbay range of offense as he rounds into his mid 20's. But the odds are now stacked against him, since any power surge will be regarded with skepticism both on a PED and on a sustainability front.
Can I adopt Jackie Bradley Jr?
