9 of his 28 pitches so far have been middle-middle

Vaughn is not 40

He doesn’t look like a legit starting outfielder.

Throwing a lot of pitches right down the plate

Is Chris Getz revamping the org?
Thorpe isn’t just protypical strikeout guy, so we have no idea how his stuff with fare against major leaguers. If he’s not pinpoint, you have what Hendricks is this year.

It sucks, as now no free agent will want to sign here due to having a bad defensive player on the team!

Vaughn has lost all sense of the strike zone. He really should get sent down.

Nastrini and Cannon to be Called Up
Eh, I think Cannon is a few tiers down from those guys. I will be pleasantly surprised if he’s a member of a quality rotation in 2026.

My weekly reminder to Montgomery that you have to swing the bat. Two more strikeouts looking, his K rate is nearly 40%

How does Rainer compare to Turang offensively?

Bleacher Report ranks Sox MiLB system 3rd
Wasn’t a Bleacher Report mock draft used by Terrence Shannon Jr’s lawyers to prove his draft stock was falling

The whole getting power from a corner outfielder would be nice

Bleacher Report ranks Sox MiLB system 3rd
I’ve seen why there’s such disconnect between many of our opinions and his. His standards for a quality player are way, way, way too low.

2024 MLB News not AL Central related
That was actually a great read by Freeland

Fire Pedro Grifol
This is just pathetic. What has this guy shown that makes you want to rush him back? As always, seems like wonderful communication between the idiot and his players.

That’s a pathetic OPS for someone who is as terrible defensively and on the bases as he is. I never predicted the injuries within the first 10 games, but I absolutely said that we all know the bust brothers (Eloy and Yoan) would get injured during the year and that Robert is no sure thing. The ironic thing is you keep saying how some of these guys are so good, yet the Sox were eager to trade Eloy (and knew no one in their right mind would want Yoan for 25 million). I feel it’s the same thing that some of us said about Tim Anderson early on last season.

Vaughn was a career negative fWAR player coming into the year. By no means is he someone that should have been relied upon. I have no idea how Benintendi just lost all ability to hit the ball hard. I would joke that he stopped juicing after the big contract, but he never looked like a big guy.

When you have 1/3 of your lineup going into the season that are strictly in it to play defense and give no offensive value, you deserve to have a bad offense. Instead of just blaming JR or Hahn or Getz, why can’t we all say they all absolutely suck?

You expected this to finally be the year they all stayed healthy?

I feel bad for him, he has to try so hard to generate excitement since the team is so boring
-
4/15/24 - KC @ CWS, 7:40 PM Eastern
The warning signs were there with the injury to the 2-3-4 guys looming. But yeah, this is ridiculous.

“But he has no position!!!”….yet one of the smartest front offices found a role for him
