The Mighty Mite

I saw that too and realize that Vaughn is bad but of all horrible guys that have played with the Sox it’s hard to believe Vaughn would be the third worst but then I thought that if you are really bad you wouldn’t get 2,000 ABs even with the White Sox.

Maybe Elko will come around knowing the Vaughn isn’t around anymore to take back first base but I’m not holding my breath on that scenario.

I can’t remember a guy striking out 5 times, I’m sure it’s happened.

Venable has to go with his best players instead of these goofy lineups, Slater with 5 Ks, Palacios is just plain bad. It looks like we were all wrong about Elko. Baldwin is hitting .380, time to bring him up, have to find a position to play regularly at, I don’t want them moving him around. He’s been playing LF at Charlotte, Baldwin has played some first base in the minors, try him there since Elko and Vaughn have no future with the Sox.

Elko is really good with the glove, a shame he can’t get it done with the bat.

I think the Elko experiment should come to an end.

Must be selling a lot of corn in Kansas these days.

Baldwin 2 for 3 so far tonight, BA at .387.

Do you mean the rest of the way? If so, it might be for other teams but much as I like the direction of the Sox no way they go 65-30 the rest of the way.

Sox were 5-21 in April, throw that month out and they are almost respectable and there’s a good chance they will improve as the season progresses.

The last month they are playing at a much better pace, they will win 60+ games.

Agree, Teel at first, Baldwin and Lee back to the big club. Elko back to Charlotte, not sure what to do with Vaughn, will the Sox eat his salary and DFA him.

I have actually read some reviews that had the Rate as high as 20th and 21st, can’t remember what sites did the reviews.

Was Robert running, wasn’t even close.

Wow, did we need that DP.

Correct.

Don’t like the way this game is trending.

Remember about a month ago some ex player said that Vaughn had lousy work habits, at the time I just brushed it off but now I’m thinking that there was some truth in what that guy said.

I think Tauchman is right now worth more to us than we would get in a trade, he’s a very good guy to have around. Of course things could change like a contender losing an outfielder and might overpay to get a guy like Tauchman.

Agree, both AV and Robert will be gone soon, I wish it weren’t so because they should be in their prime right now but are going in the opposite direction, I like them both but it is what it is.

It’s becoming pretty clear that unless AV steps it up, he is going to be the odd man out. The next call up from Charlotte should be Brooks Baldwin, he is on fire slashing at .365/.420/ .762 with an OPS of 1.182, another homer last night. I would want him playing just playing centerfield and when he’s comfortable out there he can come up and take Robert’s place.

After getting slaughtered by Detroit on Monday I thought it was going to be an ugly homestand, let’s sweep em tomorrow.

Home ice advantage.

The kids can play!!!

He’s had one hard hit ball in these 2 games.
