I can think of two and it's the ball eeeeeearly in the season that didn't look all that bad, but most LFs are probably getting to it, and his first game in right where he just dropped one. That's about it. 

That bad inning at Seattle with Giolito on the mound

Vaughn is really only an outfielder or DH.  His background is 1st, but he is generously listed as 6'0".   A bigger target with more stretch range is needed.  More typically: Abreu is 6'3";  Jimenez is 6'4";  Sheets is 6'5";  Lamb is 6'3"; even Grandal is 6'2".

Anyone else think that Vaughn looks like a catcher?   He also has the smarts for it, (Cal-Berkley).

He looks more like Jeff Bagwell than a catcher. And the Sox already have Tim Anderson at that position.

Max Muncy is also listed at 6'0" and it doesn't seem to be a problem for the Dodgers.

I don’t really understand this sentiment, I would argue that first base is a harder position to play and is usually involved almost every play (minus strikeouts). Left field helps limit the amount of times Eloy can be involved in the play. He’s a DH in LF.

Totally agree. The footwork alone that’s required would tie Eloy in a knot. LF is the easiest position on the field.
