Hypothetically..I'd trade Vaughn plus something else for Buxton.

As whitesoxdave said, the Sox don't need this but you have to be careful not to push the guy over the edge. He sounds depressed and should get counseling just to be safe.

Indians lost in 10 innings.

We are about a week away from the trading deadline. I have no idea what is going on inside this guy's head but if his conduct draws Sox management's attention away to deal with it, that is not good for anyone, including Yermin.

When a player has a sudden spike in performance followed by a sudden drop, that can lead to a variety of speculation as to the potential cause.

Words are important. Mercedes waxing a bit poetic "the fruit of my immaturity" almost calls for speculation. Some of the more common fruits of immaturity come to mind as possibilities...youthful indiscretions with money, sex and drugs. I have an idea what this might pertain to but I am not going to add my speculation here.

What a friendly place..

I find your self absorbed pseudo-intellectualism hilarious. Keep trying to have the last word...on every thread.

Have a shot and a beer Q.

I am glad you take the "laugh react" emoticon so seriously. Perhaps you should consider trying to avoid receiving so many.

and often angry, mean and seemingly hateful.

A lot of reactive, vindictive, self-absorbed one-upmanship here, as usual.

Little personal jab.

Oh my god how clever you are...and funny.

Oh how you amuse yourself.

"Robert has been sidelined by injuries to his left thumb three times, most recently jamming it on a head-first slide into second base on a stolen base attempt during an intrasquad game Saturday. Robert’s aggressiveness and speed — not to mention his power — are what make him an exciting player and the 40th-ranked prospect per MLB Pipeline."

Ha ha ha..

Sheets/Vaughn or Sheets/Burger Lefty/Righty platoon at 1B, DH or RF. All of these guys are in the line-up for their bats so they get substituted for in late innings when the Sox have a lead.

Add Grandal and Luis Robert to the injury risk calculus. Robert's speed coupled with his dives and slides will hopefully be safe. A more conservative approach on the bases and in the field should cut down on the risk.

I agree with all of that Lillian.

All he would have needed was a walk if TA got a pass..

Tim should have had the take sign on 3-0....and he swung at a sh1t pitch. Very frustrating game filled with what-if's.

Burger looked liked he did in that prospect youtube video when he was in college where he stumbled over his feet a few times. I feel bad for him. but failing to get the runner at first ended up being a key play in the game. Vaughn in Left and Burger at third is not gold glove defense which is fine, if they hit, but they didn't today. Tony could have made a few different decisions including not putting Crochet in there for the extra inning.. He is not a high leverage pitcher at this point. Maybe next year.

Short choppy steps. He is the slowest player on the team.

Vaughn playing deep to prevent balls going over his head but he is way too slow to get to balls like that. No errors assigned when balls like that drop in, but that could have been costly with both runners running.
