Per DVS, Tony said Yoan is likely out this weekend. Guessing we go with a 4 man bench this weekend and Burger gets the call.

Woof, hope this doesn't mean Yoan is heading to IL.

Can you share link?

Me thinks Donaldson should look into Berrios and what happens to his spin rates without the sticky stuff. 0 Ks today!!

He catches that ball if healthy. He shouldn’t be out there.

Disagree.

No, he told you Yoan is dramatic and soft. Which he is. Love the guy. He’s a big baby.

Do you not think Yoan is dramatic? GMAFB

Man hopefully just Yoan being Yoan.

Fegan also said Leury is fine.

Because he got scratched? Lol, relax.

Eloy DH / Vaughn LF / legitimate LH hitting RF via FA/trade is the clear route here. I suspect we will see some Eloy/Robert/Vaughn lineups in August and September, but everyone know that is not a long term solution.

Vaughn has been more than serviceable in LF and I see now reason to jam him into DH/1B at this point. He can cover LF adequately. Let Eloy DH most of the time.

FFS dude this isn't a video game. Defense matters. Moncada is an elite 3B. You don't fuck with that for Jake Burger. Stick Burger at 2B a few days a week....sure....and deal with just 1 poorly defended position and not 2. This hypothetical you continue to repeat is simply not something that is going to transpire under pretty much any circumstance.

I feel like with Billy relegated to pinch run / late inning defense role because his noodle bat is even more worthless with a bad oblique, Goodwin has to stay. Unless they trade for Escobar next few days. Otherwise you're pretty much locking yourself into Leury in CF and Mendick at 2B everyday. it was pretty obvious Billy was not healthy in his AB yesterday. Still has a role on this team, but I don't think he can bat much at all right now.

We are in no position to be turning our nose up at the return of Eaton. If he's healthy, he's more than serviceable and the Sox need all the serviceable OF they can get.

Vaughn is not a finished product. He is a just turned 23-year old that hadn't had an at bat above A ball prior to this season. What he is now is not what he is going to be, and people pigeon-holing him into a platoon role now and into the future are comical. Hitting MLB pitching is extremely difficult, and he's learning. He's going to be a cornerstone of this offensive with Eloy, Luis, Yoan and Nick for the foreseeable future.

I hope Moncada. If its Moncada, we're goin to be in good shape. But as of right now, I'd put my money on Yaz.

Nah. Vaughn is going to play everyday - the only question is where. Likely in LF as he's a better LF than Eloy. Maybe they put him RF, maybe he shifts to 1B after 2022. Probably gets some DH at bats as well if they feel the need to put Eloy in the field some. But he's going to be an everyday player.

They can't. And Twins ownership is every bit of stingy as Reinsdorf, and they will not eat anything to do it. I would love to see the Twins trade Berrios. That hurts them in 2022 and the chances whoever they acquire in that deal turns into as good a player as Berrios is at best a coinflip.

FINISH THEM!

Vaughn is not going to be a platoon player.

That is how you retaliate when you’re a winning team.

Probably both of us. But I’ve always been a big Grandal believer in this lineup.

Billy very clearly is not ready to bat.
