When the season began, Chiang would have been a relatively insignificant
complementary piece in any trade. A former infielder who signed with the Red
Sox for $375,000 out of Taiwan in 2006, Chiang had shown little aptitude at
the plate. But this year the Red Sox hooked Chiang up with a Chinese-speaking
nutritionist, and that pairing enabled Chiang to get his diabetes under
control. The results have been dramatic. After never slugging better than
.459 in a full season—and even that comes with asterisk because it occurred
at the launching pad of Lancaster—Chiang was leading the Eastern League in
six categories at the time of his trade. Those EL-leading totals: .340
average, .648 slugging, 76 RBIs, 37 doubles, 59 extra-base hits and 68 runs.
His exceptional raw power had never been transferred to game situations
before, but this year Chiang has shown potential to be a slugging outfielder.
He isn't much of a runner and he's average at best in the outfield, so his
value is tied entirely to his bat. While Chiang is a 23-year-old repeating
Double-A after repeating high Class A, his health and nutrition struggles
provide a reasonable explanation for his previous struggles, making him a
player worth taking a flier on.
