The sox have earned zero benefit of the doubt, but at the same time, it's not like Colson is completely helpless in this situation. The org and the player both deserve blame for this.

This is all so dumb. Elko has earned a look, while Vaughn has done nothing to earn more at bats. Elko will probably be bad, but we already know Vaughn is bad. Plus there’s an (extremely) outside chance that Vaughn can fix something in AAA.

I would sooner get a Vaughn Charlotte jersey to help will it into existence.

Well he was half right

Imagine being this miserable. Also, yes, the Chicago White Sox. Well known for ignoring their history and tradition instead if relying on it to distract from the current product.

Completely agree with all of this.

Also one less uninteresting player in the lineup.

Lost in here is the fact that Amaya almost has been given enough at bats to qualify. Just a tremendous job all around.

Vaughn moves in slow motion

Def. He did hit it hard on a line after all.

Using playoff odds in April for why a team is or isn’t a contender is kind of silly. Not to mention it sucks the fun right out of everything. Just use your eyes at this point. The cubs are clearly serious contenders and one of the best teams in baseball right now. It’s not that complicated.

I'll take his posts over repetitive arguments any day.

Surely there wouldn't have been 200 posts roasting Getz for a signing like that.

I support the Twins being bad but they gotta GTFO the top of the tank standings. Also glad to see the Rockies can't pick higher than 10 because I think they're a lock to finish with the worst record in baseball.

He’s tired from being on the base paths.

Lol. Anything even remotely positive that happens with either of JR’s teams happens despite him, not because of him.

I don’t think anyone is “excited” about rebuilding.

This actually sounds like a question that you’d have the answer to

When something is your life, that typically means you have a passion for it. And when you have a passion for something, that typically means you actively engage in it. Also, he can be making so much more money with an even slightly more proactive approach.

I will never understand making something your life but doing as little as possible with it.

Eh I’m actively rooting for a Crochet no hitter.

I hate this organization.

Laugh now, but yall are underestimating the importance of going R L R L in the batting order and the fear it will strike in Alex Cora as he sweats through how to navigate this sox lineup with his bullpen.

Palacios gets to tell his grandkids that he once batted cleanup in a major league game.

I wouldn't say they're clear wins, but once a player has a good season in the majors (which Eloy and Robert both have had) and then regress, I think it starts to become more about injuries and/or the coachability of the specific player rather than a development failure.
