[QUOTE="Bailey, post: 1139970, member: 10684"] If a team thought Viciedo could have helped them, he'd be on any other major league roster at this point. If you want to position yourself on the other side of the fence of every GM, analytic, scout etc, by all means zoggle. Calling Dayan Viciedo a minor leaguer isn't ridiculous, it's a categorical fact. I do think he'll catch on as a 4th outfielder somewhere once we're done paying him. The jury is still out on Avi, as has been discussed at length in this thread. If he continues to produce at this rate, however, he'll be in Dayan's shoes sooner than later. Many pages back I posted a fantastic Fangraphs piece about the disparity between fan expectations and analytical expectations for Avi's season. For whatever reason, he passes the ambiguous eye test - but you can't pair a .270 average with below average plate discipline, power and defense and expect to stick as an everyday right fielder. So, what's the ridiculous part again? [/QUOTE]
