  1. You are drinking Steve Stone Koolaid if you think Vaughn is going to be a career outfielder.
  2. Vaughn needs to get some starts at first base, his eventual every day position.
  3. Me too. My own view is that AV has been over-rated and over-hyped as an outfielder. Vaughn plays deep, a conservative defensive position that allows him to see everything in front of him while not having to play too many balls hit between him and the outfield wall. Because he plays deep, he only has to back pedal a few steps before the wall. Once again yesterday he jumped to catch a routine fly ball far short of the wall after which Benetti/Stone complimented the catch like they just saw Willy Mays famous over the shoulder catch. Is he a better OF than Eloy? Maybe, but Eloy is taller and faster than Vaughn and probably makes plays on balls that Vaughn could not get to. Perhaps Eloy should learn a few lessons from Vaughn about playing LF - play deep to avoid running into the outfield wall, , allow balls to drop in front of you instead of diving for them, and never risk life and limb to catch a fly ball.
  4. OMG, parents are even getting a nod. This is really a feel good time for WSox fans.
  5. Vaughn and a few other guys have had some good games against the Twins and Tigers RH pitching. I love it, but let's wait to see if they can sustain this against better teams and pitching.
  6. Good idea. They could also forget a trade, put Eloy in LF, Vaughn in RF, Robert CF, Abreu at 1B, and DH Sheets. Hard to go wrong as long as they are all hitting.
  7. Eloy is pretty much going to play where he wants whether it is with the White Sox or another team. Same for Vaughn and for Abreu. The Sox have some decisions to make in the future about who plays where and for how often. Now we have Sheets who is looking like the LH bat we have been looking for and Eaton is back from the IL.
  8. Detroit relievers making our boys look like the '27 Yankees.
  9. Burger looks like he is in so much better condition than when he got injured.
  10. Beat the shit teams....best the shit out of them. A win is a win.
  11. What is the rule? Does the ump have to allow a challenge in the 8th or is it discretionary?
  12. Somebody in the Sox video room is going to hear about that one.
  13. That isn't an auto challenge in the 8th is it?
  14. Who was looking at the video and telling LaRussa he was out?
  15. Zero chance Eloy will agree to be a full time DH.
  16. That was Vaughn's best catch. He is slow but steady.
  17. Mercedes back up if Yaz is hurt?
  18. Why does Vaughn jump to catch a fly ball?
  19. Looks powerful - like Paul Bunyan swinging a log ax. Pitchers like to pitch guys like him outside to stay away from their power but apparently Sheets has a game plan for that.
  20. Now the DH spot opens up for a few other guys.
  21. 1. T. Anderson SS 2. Y. Moncada 3B 3. J. Abreu 1B 4. E. Jimenez LF 5. L. Robert CF 6. A. Vaughn/Sheets R/L platoon DH 7. Y. Grandal C 8. A. Eaton RF 9. D. Mendick/L Garcia R/L platoon 2B SP C. Rodon
