Red Sox sign Chih-Hsien Chiang ( Taiwanese prospect )

[jsinger121]

you wont see him for 6-7 years....

 

It all depends on his development. It could be that but it could be less. The good thing with him is he has been using wooden bats for the last couple of years.

[Cocos Disciples]

what position is he

[Cocos Disciples]

oh my bad short...dont we have pedroia and lowrie?

[CrespoBlows]

Yeah, but what's wrong with stockpiling your system with the best players?

[Cocos Disciples]

true, but where would we play him if we have them up the middle?

Not all will work out but they can also be converted to CF, 2B, trade bait, etc....

what a bizarre video

[ksushi]

Well, if he is good, I would say 4 or 5. I definetly think if he is good enough to be signed at 17, if he is that far away from being major league ready, why sign him? He might not pan out, but they definetly won't just sit him around for six years.

[jsinger121]

I've heard the Red Sox beat out the Braves to sign him.

what a bizarre video

 

that was the same thing i was thinking while watching it.

 

where is this guy playing this year? I cant find much info on him.

[DUSTINMOHR4LIFE]

any update on this guy?

[Beckett95]

he was assigned to GCL the 20th. Not much else i can find on him

[DUSTINMOHR4LIFE]

GCL Sox have played 3 games I believe. Chih has 2 hits in 4 at-bats.

[jsinger121]

theres not much on him right now.....we have no scouting report yet on him at soxprospects.com but the only thing I know about him is he has been hitting with the wood bats for awhile and has been pretty good at it.

[NateGrey]

Numbers so far .

 

8ab , 4h , 500avg , 500obp , 500slg

[jsinger121]

He is a natural shortstop but the sox have him at 2B

[NateGrey]
