I know I’ve said this before, but I would be shocked if the new RF isn’t a lefty. Stone has mentioned probably 10 times they need a lefty hitting run producer.
He is going to add to the payroll, just not going after the top guys. I don’t get how some don’t understand this in a year where some teams have to unload payroll.
Vaughn made two errors in 40 games in the minors. If he was that bad on D, we would have heard about it. Don’t forget they had him taking a ton of grounders at 3rd, which easily could have messed up his timing at 1st that he was used to.
Yes he hit RHP very well last year. I think he’d be a very good platoon partner and someone you wouldn’t have to give multiple years to if you claim him.
