| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2011-12-02 14:00:00 | Any reason for optimism regarding TOny Sanchez? Is he still the Pirates' C of the future? (albert2b from NYC) | Certainly reasons to be concerned, but no reason to write him off. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-07-29 13:00:00 | What has happened to Tony Sanchez? The plate discipline seems to still be there, somewhat, but he is hitting like a 70's shortstop. What say the scouts? (boards from SA) | Sanchez has been one of the biggest enigmas in prospect land as he's been bad, and the scouting reports are as well. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2011-06-27 14:00:00 | What happened to Tony Sanchez this year? Is the bat just not going to play at upper levels? (Bill from Pittsburgh) | I never saw him as a big offensive performer, more of a .260-.280 hitter with 10-15 home runs, walks and very good defense. That's an incredibly valuable player. (Kevin Goldstein) |
| 2010-10-07 13:00:00 | John, I saw Tony Sanchez in the FSL this year and was impressed with his abilities both at the plate and behind it. Knowing he probably shouldn't have been the #2 overall pick, would it be unlikely to pencil him in as the Pirates catcher for '12? (TLivingston from Sonoma, CA) | That's what the Pirates had in mind when they drafted him and he can get on course with a good showing in the Arizona Fall League after missing a large chunk of the FSL season with a broken jaw. (John Perrotto) |
