It's one thing if he was a hack with no future, like oh I don't know, Nick Williams... but aside from not getting crucial-to-his-development AB's it's going to be burn a year of his Sox career.

It sucks. There's no defending this He's here because the manager doesn't control the 26 man active roster. He's not playing, because our manager has one foot in the grave and has been out of the game throughout the entire statistical revolution. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's sent down for more than 15-ish days, you get that year of control back. Thank you, sorry @CaliSoxFanViaSWside 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you also think Jose is going to hit .207 or Yermin is going to hit .565 this season? OPS last year against lefties was .887, against righties it was .749 and that's with Eloy having an .898 ops against righties. It's still not the biggest sample size in the world but it's absolutely something people were worried about going into the season after Eloy got hurt and so far it's showed through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, as we’ve said many times, send him down if he cannot have consistent AB’s. I honestly believe if Eloy was in LF, we’d be having the same discussion with Vaughn and a limited amount of playing time. He might not have even made the team.

Well, he should be in the lineup at least 80-90% of the time. Not 50% or less like he has been. If he needs to be at DH, so be it. Mercedes takes a seat. Vaughn plays 3-4 days as week is a joke. I never wanted him to break camp with the Sox because 162 is always >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> than 15. But if he is on the roster, the guys needs to be in the fucking lineup. I really have a hard time believing Hahn supports this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So slightly above average against righties and top 2 against lefties sounds like enough offense “to contend” if the pitching is as good as anticipated.

Well Mercedes is hitting like . 500 and TLR is not here to develop players. Once Mercedes cools off Vaughn will play more but right now Mercedes is just blocking him. Sending him down now makes no sense either as there is no minor leagues till may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Hamiliton and Nick Williams appear to be blocking him... Sending him down gains control. Why are we waisting his control sitting him on the bench.

They can still send him down in May when there isn't an everyday spot for him by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means he thinks he has a better chance to win with Williams in LF than Andrew or Mercedes or Collins at DH . And that Andrew doesn't have enough experience yet but he will play dependent on how he matches up with the opposing pitcher. Doesn't seem that difficult to understand.
