Alex Gordon was MUCH faster than Vaughn. Probably 50 speed vs. 30 speed. Gordon is one of the best defensive leftfielders of all time. A poor man’s Alex Gordon might be a gold glover. Vaughn needs to be a rich man’s Kyle Schwarber.

Wow. Leury is healthy. I’m pleasantly surprised.

Me too. It just sounds like he’s hurt. Otherwise, he’d be playing 3rd.

Facing a lefty with 3 switch hitters unavailable but not on the IL. I predict: 1. Anderson, ss 2. Hamilton, cf 3. Abreu, 1b 4. Vaughn, lf 5. Goodwin, rf 6. Burger, 3b 7. Sheets, dh 8. Mendick, 2b 9. Collins, c. Although it could be Eaton instead of either Goodwin or Sheets. Not a lot of options for TLR.

Sox don’t need to decide on Adolfo until end of next Spring training (unless they want the spot on the 40 man). Sure, deal him if you can get anything, but the guy hasn’t played much in the last few years. I could see them playing it out and seeing what the have. That said, Cespedes has similar skills in a different looking package, so Adolfo’s not crucial either way.

I don’t dispute that the other guys are not good defenders, but is Eaton? He was years ago. Has not looked particularly good this year. I say, play the hot hand.

National media is so lazy. They don't know any players, so they grab the most famous name.

Good news. Getting the band back together.

Seems to be Burger/Yermin explainer.

Wait. This might be good news about a rehab assignment for Eloy.

I bet this is to salute Jake Burger. It’s good PR for the team.

Fair enough. I was just having fun with the fact that a lot os stories that shouldn't be made into movies are made into movies.

So the premise of this objection is that every movie that exists deserves to exist?

But is there such a thing as "too much flak for Nick Swisher?"

Also, maybe they want him to play with Eloy next week.

Goodwin is not a good cf. Never has been. He’s sort of a tweener. That’s why his career had been meh.

I saw that. Insane.

Even worse in Portland.

IL Jose and give him the ASB, maybe he'll get back to normal.

For f***s sake. Another lucky hit. Then terrible D.

People go through slumps. It’s a little early to bury Jose. Moncada has been slumping just as hard. With the current injuries, when those guys slump, the team really suffers.

I would be fine with that. I don’t want them to trade Ramos or Rodriguez who may end up 1 and 2 on their prospect list by the end of the year.

Bilous 5.0 0R 0H 0bb 9k.

True. Moncada and Abreu slumping lately. Eloy would be a nice addition, but gotta be patient.

Losing half your starting lineup has a tendency to do that.
