Dayan Viciedo at 3B?

Someone posted here in June that Dayan Viciedo had defected from Cuba. He was playing on the Cuban National team since he was 14 and Alexi Ramirez says he is going to be a major league talent. They played together in Cuba so I trust Ramirez is right. He is now a FREE AGENT and teams are sending scouts to watch him work out in the Dominican Republic. His Agent wants to get him signed within the next week.

I think the Angels should sign him, Move Figgins to LF, and put Brandon Wood at SS. Keep Tex as well and DH/RF Morales.

LF Figgins

1B Teixeira

RF Vladdy

CF Hunter

DH Morales

C Napoli

2B Howizle

3B Viciedo

SS Wood

This would be a sick lineup IMO. Morales and Naps back to back kicked ass last season so why fug with it. Then if rumors are true about Ordonez and we cant get Tex, Trade Aybar, Mathis, and Justin for Ordonez and put him where Tex is batting.

What do you guys think?

What's the point!!!!

Angels wouldn’t give him a chance to play!!! My opinion(hell rot in the minor leagues)

Yup.......Look at Morales

What do they want him to do in AAA? Hit .500? He has already hit .340somthin in two seasons in AAA and he still cant find a Job on the Angels. 5 buck says if we re-sign Tex, Morales is back in AAA next season, or on the bench ala Juan Rivera this year.

Put Kendry Morales at 1B, and move Sean Rodriguez to 3B......NOW LETS GO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why not take a chance

we did with Morales and that will be pretty good for us… And its not like your going to be giving him a huge contract. Take a shot if it doesnt work out you obviously have some trade bait to package with our other youngsters

Terrorist plot to blow up Fenway? I'm okay with that

Im gonna say NO

pointless. its like handing over free agent money to a high school player. you have no idea how its gonna work out and i guarantee the angels regret giving morales such a big bonus

My stepmom used to live next door to her

she would come out in her bathrobe to pick up her paper in the morning. Only a couple of years ago. Dammmmmnnn.

10 years ago, sure, probably better. No hesitation today, either.

I am with you on this one.

Teixeira............Everything else can wait.

While I agree that I wouldn't make THIS move

If the Angels have anyone to blame for their regret on the money given Morales, it’s themselves. He’s proven his capability in the minor leagues time and time again, and has rarely been given a fair chance at the Major League level. He’s only being paid a total of 7.5 million over 6 years, so there’s hardly any reason for real regret at this point, as he could easily make up the worth of that contract in the remaining two years. Either way, the ‘lost’ money on that contract is due to the misuse of Morales, not his failure to contribute.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Nov 13, 2008 1:07 PM PST up reply actions  

agree

i don’t think he was mis-used. i thiink the Angels just didn’t want to rush him up. like you said he’s proven it at every level he has been put at. it’s his time to be given his chance to play everyday. i hope they don’t just sit him on the bench.

by HALO_86 on Nov 13, 2008 1:26 PM PST up reply actions  

Agree 100%

I like Halo_86 will be pissed if he is on the bench next year or back at AAA. He better get his 150+ games or they might as well trade him.

So the BABE RUTH of Cuba is not worth it?

I want to here what you have to say about Alexi Ramirez. You probably would have said, “its like handing free agent money to a high school player, that has been playing high school ball for 13 years. You have no idea how its going to work out.”

And the Angels are stupid for not using Morales since he got here. He better than Alexei in Cuba, he homered in his first “pro” at bat, and has hit for HIGH average everywhere, even in the MLB when the Angels gave him somewhat consistant playing time last year. Im sure he would have hit 300+ last year if he would have played every day. Do disrespect to Krotch Rocket, He played good last year and this year for the Halos.
