What's the deal with this guy? I remember him being lost in a Rule 5 draft a few years ago, but returned to the SOX for some reason. He seems to have good numbers, but he hasn't been advanced to Charlotte.

Control issues for the most of the year, which he improved on down the stretch.

Thanks for that. That begs the sub-question:

Is he a legit prospect, even for middle relief?

Yep.

He might be a bullpen option for next year at some point.

On the Baseball America handbook he was rated as the #14 prospect in the system. As stated above he has great stuff (52K's in 56) but erratic control (35BB in 56IP). They stated that he throws 90-96 FB with a very good slider.

Does anyone know whether the 3B prospect we got from the Braves for Javy is a real prospect and how did? Thanks

Jon "Happy" Gilmore is a prospect, but he didn't have a great year at Kannapolis: .274/.322/.361 with 40 errors.

Why would size be a factor in playing first base? Any fat ass can play first base.

Doesn't Viciedo have an above average arm that would be wasted at 1st base though?
