Makes sense. They need a guy who hit HR's desperately. Now whether he can stick in MLB is another question entirely.

Sticking with guys who can hit HR'S, but don't make a lot of contact or get on base.

Well Olt does walk a lot. Ideally he's an adam dunn type. Granted his play in the majors thus far hasn't been "ideal."

That's in the minors, though and Sux coaching in the system and major league club has been abysmal in terms of developing position players for at least a decade. Therefore, I have no confidence in the team fixing Olt's issues.

Oh darn, what a loss to the Cubs....

Well makes sense for the sox. Olt at least can hit a HR and play quality D. He could end up a middle of the league talent for them.

True of both teams sans the last year for the Cubs

The Cubs have been developing players well now for longer than a year. This is just the 1st year we are seeing that impact the major league team in a significant manner
