Vaughn is idiot proofing the situation. Hes gotta stay healthy to keep his current status

It is. For Now I will take it as a confident indicator of how they project his season to go by virtue of how his current strength has impressed them.

I just think not signing him was a luxury the White Sox could not afford. Signing him was not the luxury. Not signing him was the luxury. The Sox were delusional about their situation.

Kind of expected other than the Kopech outing though. Now the adventure begins

TA and Harrison playing together is nitroglycerin.

Vaughn could be lil' Paul Goldschmidt after all.

I see what we're doing here.

Something about some rookies getting tough calls and bad calls during ABs. Seemed like Vaughn could hardly catch a break either last year

the best thing about the morals deal is that the Chicago team is not on the short end of the stick in terms of talent for once

Why would any team choose to have Collins over McGuire?

He might beat out Legend

The hitters stopped fouling him off. That bothered me as far as what he could get away with in velocity. I think they stopped swinging at so many pitches

Well, have to say despite the concerns about velocity, Kopech gave us hope today bottom line.

Eloy not out for the year!

Guys had like 7-8 pro seasons now? Cmon

This is hella bad sign for the season. Low velo Ko

Kopech loss of velo allows all these guys to foul him off

fair enough, but the Sox are abysmal in getting value for prospect trades for old dudes. These guys should learn to just say no, and try other avenues.

not sure if serious

Trading to Oakland our newest prospects for now older ex-Sox prospects sounds vaguely familiar. Could work out well this time.

If they’re now asking for Vaughn, they are gonna ask for Vera or Montgomery if the Sox say no

Has he ever done anything like this before?

I think the Sox delivered a Larussa model then. 5 or 6 starters, and platoon everything else with people that nominally all can play musical chairs. This is fine.

What a stupid approach for TLR. Of course the season is a marathon, but let us get out of the first week guy.
