Big series for the Knights again facing Durham. They're down 4-2 so far in the 8th (Knights are 4 games up).

Sheets 0-0, 3 BBs, R

Is he a legit contender to be up next year?

 

I feel like everyone is ready to hand Vaughn and Collins first. Could Sheets force our hand to give him first/DH at bats? 

Vaughn is batting .230 in single A...he is a long way from playing 1st in the majors.  Collins deserves a shot but not expecting much from him especially if at first and not catcher.

Hard to say. He will definitely be in AAA next season, but can make some noise. I liked him coming out of Wake Forest. I just have a feeling Sox may try and deal from a position they have alot of (1B types) to fill a need.

Sheets walked his first three time up, then popped out, then hit a three run BOMB.

Kid has really put himself back on the map this year.  Can’t wait to see how he responds to the juiced ball in 2020.

Take Vaughn's stats with a grain of salt. He's got a low BABIP and a decent K%. The .160 ISO in A+ is a bit concerning though.

Hoping he is just tired after longish season.

That's what I think. A 13 K% is actually really good. A .250 BABIP says he's unlucky. Let's see what he does next year before we panic about his power. I learned a lot from jumping the gun on Madrigal last fall.

I'm wondering when we first see him in RF for a game.

Oh interesting . Does he have decent speed for a 1st baseman ?

Sorry, I was saying it tongue in cheek due to Abreu-Vaughn-Sheets when Abreu re-signs.

That's if both Sheets and Vaughn pan out. It's like Mercedes at 3rd.

I mean... you literally jumped the gun on Vaughn like a week ago lol. But I'm glad you're learning.

You didn't read that post actually. I said this was the point where I usually would get concerned, but I'm taking it with a grain of salt and want to see what he does in 2020 before jumping to any conclusions. That's what I said a week ago, and that's what I said tonight.

I read exactly what you said and it wasn't the first time you ripped on Vaughn in prior threads (I know this because I agreed with you about not being a big fan of the pick because of the position) but you take it beyond that. Hell, you ripped on Yolbert Sanchez' DSL numbers before your (usual) backtrack in the same thread.

I always do every player's draft year.
