Almost everyone in this much better line-up is contributing tonight.
That said, it's the Tigers at home, and we really should have swept them, but oh well.
What has been the exit velo on Vaughn's doubles this year?
Line drives?
High and lofted into gaps?
It's a big strange that he and Robert so far only have one homer between them, but then I'm sure that will change again in late May and early June when the ball really starts to fly out.
Madrigal might even get 2-3.
But how is the question?
Is there space for him still when Engel returns?
Would have to look at the roster again.
Ideally, you'd have Vaughn starting, Leury and Engel as back-ups/defensive replacements, Yermin, then Collins. Seems to fit.
White Sox doubles hitting machine...sometimes, that's better than homers, seems more good things happen when there are baserunners, actually.
LEURY GARCIA.
HoFer. We always knew he had it in him. Furcalito!!!

Well, here's the list of some of the players who are actually WORSE than Leury on offense this year.
LaRussa must believe that Leury's actually peak Rafael Furcal, and goes on similar hot streaks.
Garcia must be one of the worst hitters in baseball ever to get two starts in a DHer.
Yeah yeah, I know, he's now suddenly the most clutch-iest hitter on the team.
