The hat is stellar.

It's the difference between a guy who will most likely suck, but has six years of control if he doesn't, and a guy who has historically sucked, and has no control even if he doesn't suck again. This seems obvious to me, but I guess not.

There it is. A successful magician is a master of distraction. Too bad that isn't the case here.

Considering he could have just been had for a waiver claim, that would be an incredibly quick fall from grace.

I could be wildly wrong, but I bet it isn't nearly as much as we would suspect it would be. The price of on air talent for non-premium guys isn't pretty.

we are definitely in the stick times, and we are all getting beaten with it as Sox fans.

And let's be honest here, who cares how fast your 1B is? They need two step range, and should be bashing the ball out of the park. The last thing you are worried about is them stealing an extra base. Unfortunately with Vaughn we are getting none of that.

I can't imagine my professional existence revolving around making this disaster sound interesting to watch.

He's actually only in the bottom third according to Fangraphs from last year. 18th lowest out of 43 hitters with 300 or more PAs in the 1b category. Of course Gavin Sheets was worse.

Not giving him a single MiLB AB and then also stuffing into a position he had never played before is negligence. Granted, we will never know if this missed his development window, but nothing has changed with him since the changes in the organization. In fact he has gotten worse pretty much across the board since they happened.

It is absolutely fair to say this. The game is loaded with 4A players who bombed at the major league level after destroying the minors. The game is not littered with teams coming off of 121 loss seasons with a perpetually declining 1B who is currently literally the worst player in the game of MLB. Even if you don't turf Vaughn, it might be worth just finding a way to get him some days off. Dude is a trainwreck right now. If it's Elko, cool. If it is someone else, great.

Can't wait to get to the next awful players.

Womp, womp.

Fify

I look forward to his TJS.

Old yeller treatment?

Nah, Kyyle is the just right amount of not needing to get lectured by Jerry’s superfanboy about what he should and shouldn't think based on your hypocritical interpretations of Jerry’s actions vs everyone else's. Quit projecting your anger at those who don't fall into your line, as their anger. This is your anger and your problem, and literally no one else's.

Maybe for Jerry? Looks like that is the 4th highest salary for the Sox this year.

Welp, it was a good run for Quero before he got gregd

The rest of this roster could file for Medicaid. Age ain't it.

We figured out how to get Chris fired.

And sadly, we have improved the roster with each of them.

Sanders to Cleveland. Probably wishes he went undrafted now.

Eh, we need any and all skilled positions covered. It's 6 years of control if you think you can do something with him.

Also: WHY WE WERE HITTING A GUY LEAD OFF AND GIVING HIM THE MOST ABS ONLY TO RELEASE HIM DAYS LATER!!!
