6/5| White Sox vs Tigers | 1:10PM CT | NBCSC
Cespedes is a superior player on defense, and the bar could not be lower as a hitter to upgrade the position. It would be a plus move. But you are probably right. They will likely want him to see a certain number of pitches in the minors just as a proper way to develop him all things being equal.

LaRussa says he has restricted base stealing because our guys are “Ouchy”

That’s because you haven’t looked at how he is pitching in Charlotte. Forget about that guy.

Who will be the RFer by the end of the season?
That should never happen. Dont trade a premium prospect for a rental. Ever. FTJ has taught these people nothing if they do that, which ought to scare the fuck out of us.

Lorretta's Lounge renamed after TLR
I can tell you I get many business emails about company news things I really don’t care about. But they are mass emailed out to everyone at the company if I understand correctly.

Lorretta's Lounge renamed after TLR
I tend to think he would know something like this. But tbh, it doesn’t seem like something he would think was a good idea either. So I don’t know. Love or hate JR, he’s got a reputation for having a heart for his employees.

Lorretta's Lounge renamed after TLR
Whether or not he gets involved to that level of control, fairly safe bet he knows what is going on just as a curious person about what’s going on at a “Sox park”. Just while he’s sitting in a suite relaxing and talking, you gotta believe somebody wants to be the one to tell him the latest scuttlebut. ‘Hey J, they are renaming that Lorreta concession stand, how about that?’

Sox Favorite to Land “Cuban Ohtani”
Assuming they agreed to overpay to get this agreement out of him to sign. But that said, Interesting how it shakes out. If Vaughn stays in LF, and Cespedes plays RF, there is not spot for him on the team. First base? Abreu now, and imo, Eloy will need to to find a position. I suppose they can just stick with the original plan and have Vaughn at first and Eloy in LF, but there is still no spot for Colas. Im sure the Sox will honor his agreement, but this very easily could be a trade waiting to happen with a few very feasible events.

Sox Favorite to Land “Cuban Ohtani”
Nothing new here, except that he doesn’t want to pitch. And some bad info to boot. He cannot play CF.

They used to garner bad press for being poorly run as far as the stuff between the lines. But they had an ear for the fanbase somewhat. Stadium build notwithstanding. Now they just routinely garner bad press, and its like they are completely blind to what the Sox fan base is caring about

I used to think this organization was semi-in tune with its fans. It suddenly has gone 100% tone deaf in one season. Quite remarkable.

The Andrew Vaughn LF Thread
Eloy Robert and Vaughn will lead the league in gappers and triples down the line

The Andrew Vaughn LF Thread
Robert is rangy, but that outfield seems like a tall order even for him to make it work. Cespedes speed and defense should be good enough to get that job imo. The team to build is not based on all pitching and slugging. To go all the way, pitching and defense still have to be present, and pitching needs defense to be effective. Where does that leave Vaughn? I don’t know, the answer may unfold as the team swallows hard and makes some ultimate decisions on which direction to take this. I still think Eloy will be in the outfield for a couple years. Eloy Robert and Cespedes . Vaighn could move around a lot. He seems like he could become one of those utility guys Like Kris Bryant.

5/25 Cardinals vs. White Sox
His throws definitely are.
-
The Andrew Vaughn LF Thread
I have a feeling Eloy will get his job back. The unwritten rules! But having competition will be good for him. Hopefully he is motivated to lose some weight. Not that he’s fat or anything. But he can be 10 lbs lighter

I CJ Abrams guy for the record. Vaughn always made me nervous. As did Madrigal. I know, good for me yay.

Well I wasn’t talking about predraft. Fair enough, we will agree to disagree.

5/23 White Sox vs Yankees
Goldy raked like an absolute stud from day 1 professional. Cant say the same respective to the Cal guy. I mean, he was respectable. But I think the Snakes could see what they had on their hands prettyyyy quick. Can we? Caufield says we cannot yet, which I agree with. Therefore, Vaughn is tradeable. All Im saying.
