Correct, and he was viewed as a top prospect. After he hit 25 homers in 2012, that positive outlook continued. Hence your statement, "The White Sox seemed to pretty much be the only ones who thought Viciedo was going to be something" is untrue.

Edit: and once again, that's from mid-season 2011. He wasn't in the league. He had only played in the majors September 2010, which is what this is based on. That is not relevant to the statement I made. |

He had an OPS of what, like .740? He was below average at the plate, even without considering his lack of all other baseball skills. Josh Fields hit homers too. Let's bring him back. I wonder what LTP is doing. |

The new batting coach seems to value patience at the plate, maybe he'll be able to get through to him. |

You are off base in your assessment of how Viciedo was viewed in 2012. |

Look at the market for Trumbo who hit 34 HR with a .747 OPS last year, and an OBP under .300. Whether you like it or not there is some value there. |

Fields and Viciedo are somewhat similar, but Borchard does not compare.

And yes, I believe that after 2012 there were scouts that thought he would be a useful piece....not a great/superstar player, but a useful power bat that was young and had potential to get better. |

Saying "he hit homers" isn't disproving anything. It's reinforcing that they don't know what they're talking about.
