Scouting Report: Chiang is a good offensive player with a really nice left-handed swing. Potential to hit for both average and power - makes great contact. Pure hitter. However, he really needs to work on his patience at the plate. Defense at 2B is below average, so Chiang was converted to an OF in the 2008-09 off-season. On the positive side, he has average to above average range and a strong arm. However, he's had some fundamental lapses in the field, commits a lot of errors, and his hands aren't all that great. He has been well ahead of the track age-wise during his rise through the Sox system.
