Sigh.

Cue the music!

Such a little b****. Imagine being the third overall pick and then putting in so little work that you're literally the worst player in MLB 5 years later just coasting on your glory days from college. He didn't even lose his career to drugs or women or booze he just doesn't seem to GAF about baseball. As a fan that's not acceptable. Go the hell away.

Good AB Elko, that was a pitch around.

Eaton was elite for a minute.

If Vaughn doesn't get a hit his OPS will be lower than Elko's slugging after this PA.

BOOM

Great ABs from Robert and Vaughn...JFC.

Yup, some Billy Beane type scouting. He stinks.

Not even competitive.

Burke fucking sucks. You can't pitch in MLB with this walk rate. You probably couldn't pitch in Japan with it either.

OK well an avg defensive catcher that can hit 270/340/380 is still a 3 WAR player. He's the least of our problems right now.

quero? Didn't have have some of the best pop times in MilB?

Throw strikes please.

What do you mean there is "nobody to sign"? Nobody to sign in that price range? If so maybe we could have traded for some more money ourself? I dunno, I'm having a hard time spinning this move. Why do we need another DFA candidate?

We nailed the Crochet trade. At best he's going through a bit of a dead arm it appears. At worst he's just not the same guy he was last year ever again.

the bad luck thing is way overplayed. his wxOBA is now .316. Even if you take that at face value and credit him for it that's still like a 1 WAR player at best. He stinks. He has zero upside. He's one of the worst athletes in MLB and he can't hit.

true but he should be able to position himself a bit better when it's obvious the ball isn't in play.

Not even holding him on and then we can't catch the ball or properly back it up and he gets to 3rd. WTF bro.

They seem to be completely fooled on every fly ball no matter how hard hit. Yea.

Get Vaughn OFF THIS TEAM. He's the biggest rally killer every damn time and his defense is a constant anchor we lost 2-3 outs a week because of his range at 1B.

The only thing more annoying than Vaughn is that it's obvious someone has instructed the crew to talk him up.

Vargas living a charmed life lately.

I'm not willing to say he's part of the solution but at least Veneble appears to not be part of the problem. Small progress.

He's on a heater but doing a bit of a look at his stats just now he's going to regress. He has the same chase rate as Sosa.
