I haven't seen enough of Vaughn to get a good read of his 1st base defense, but I can confidently say that Abreu is easily the best defender at 1st of the rest. I don't see the Sox cutting ties, but I do hope they work out something team friendly since I believe it is inevitable that he sticks around until he retires. I would like to see him bat lower though if he's going to continue to be a ground ball machine.

Honestly, No player is really gonna say ‘it’s not my call.’ They are professionals and part of being a professional is saying the right thing, overly and untruthfully effusive as that might be. Players might genuinely like playing for the man but also know that they aren’t in the best position to win because of him. They aren’t gonna trash him if they already know he’s coming back. Players not overtly trashing their manager =|= him being the best thing since sliced bread. That’s not too hard to figure out.

Sheets was really bad in limited time in RF. I’ve seen enough to say he’s a DH only.

Coaching put this team at a massive disadvantage and it showed out in the post season. If you think he did a good job, you are beyond help. I choose not to engage with you after your multiple attempts to troll me. Please just put me on ignore and move on.

Hey look, a defender perfectly placed to make a play. Imagine that. But there's no leadership or coaching problems with this team...

It all boils down to TLR not being the man to push them over the top. The season and now the post season proved that.

Better players, better coaching, forward thinking analytics, all of the above.

Expecting him to actually listen to their input when it goes against his old school ways is wishful thinking.

This is the painful unfortunate truth.

I doubt I watch anything if MKE doesn't survive, but its Anyone But Houston at this point.

TLR. Will. Never. Learn.

Another TLR bullpen move backfired? Color me SHOCKED.

Wainwright chowing down on a foot long Comiskey dog is quality television. Stick a fork in them, Sox are done.

Which made not acquiring a bat at the deadline and only relying on injured guys returning a very poor plan

Yup. Injury and inexperience will be used as the reasoning they came up short and no real change will be made.

I wouldn't expect anything more than a scapegoat or two. Will be really surprised by major coaching changes - as desperately needed as they are.

Crowd had the life sucked out of them falling down 5-1. Reality is setting in.

A new approach is desperately needed

Zone getting wide now. Ump has money on Houston.

We never beat anything out at first it seems

Fireable offenses, if his fate were linked to results in any way.

Watches strike 3. Go the fuck away Cesar.

One time Cesar. Redeem yourself right here.
