So a possible bench of (with a righty on the mound and Collins in lineup) : C Yermin 1B/3B Lamb OF Hamilton or Williams UTIL Leury

So Lamb's deal is an MLB deal?

I was thinking that too. Give him an OF glove at Charlotte and see if he can handle it in case Collins doesn't hit and you need to move Vaughn to DH.

https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/03/white-sox-to-sign-jake-lamb.html Edit: just checked. No, he has not played OF in the MLB.

I like the idea. Maybe when Kelenic comes up and after Lewis comes off the IL.

Yolmer: the man not good enough to make awful teams but should be a Sox target.

Vaughn getting work in left I would say is directly linked to them wanting to play Collins every day (especially against righties). If Vaughn hits and Collins doesn't, then you just shift Vaughn to DH and then play Garcia/Engel/pick up in LF.

Yep or when whoever DH's (Collins) is terrible with the bat after a while.

Vaughn caught a routine flyball in left. Looked fine. Play him there in opening day.

He's definitely not 2-hitter at the moment.

That's what I would have him do. Easier to come in for a flyball rather than back.

Assuming he opens the year on the roster (it seems likely at this point), it kinda stings a bit that they didn't cut Edwin and call him up last year. Oh well.

Has anything been hit to Vaughn?

He's the reason Vaughn is seeing time in left.

When's the earliest a team can trade someone they just signed?

Does it really bother you that badly?

Yeah not enough to sign Colas though.

So cheap? We didn't have any more room to sign him since it is a hard cap.

If Vaughn is passable in left and Collins hits, it won't be short term.

Gotta think both Collins and Lucroy make the roster now.

With the Sox experimenting with Vaughn in LF, that's pretty telling that Collins will get a shot as the DH.

Idk we'll see when roster cuts happen and guys need to be moved or released (you can find a better short term option here than Billy frickin Hamilton). Any option is better than CarGo.

Yeah and I would prefer someone who's been in a big league camp (if coming from outside the organization).

Carlos Gonzalez, who I'm pretty sure isn't playing anymore.

Hopefully Vaughn is good enough to stick in LF against righties so you can play Collins at DH. Against lefties, Vaughn can DH and Engel can play the OF when he is back.
