As far as Vaughn, he is quickly becoming an older prospect (25 yrs old I think?) I know they have been working him at multiple positions. Corner outfield, 3rd base, etc. I do like that. Hes 22.

I would offer him more than anyone else for a 1-year deal with an option. He needs to bet on himself having a productive year at this point in time.

January 23, 20215 yr 18 hours ago, iWiN4PreP said: It's not that I 'wish' it so... it's what it is. I'd much rather have Eloy play LF and have faith in it. Defensively, he's awful. I don't even really care about that. I care about keeping him healthy. I find it very surprising that so many are willing (and seemingly happy) to trot Eloy out in LF the way he injures himself out there. I think that most of us (at least speaking for myself here) are trying to deal in reality. The Sox have made no mention of looking at Eloy like he is a DH at this point, quite the opposite actually. So while it may be the role for which he is best suited, it isn't in his immediate future. Especially with Abreu under contract and Vaughn coming up. That combination will probably be the primary DH in the not too distant future. No one wants to see Eloy get hurt bumbling after a ball in LF, but that's where he is going to be.

January 23, 20215 yr For years before the DH teams buried lousy defensive players in left field. Many were lucky not to catch the ball with their heads (I know...some did). By comparison to some of those guys...Eloy is a gazelle. He catches the routine stuff and on occasion makes a nice play. He doesn't bother me a bit. Just the price we pay for the elite bat.

If he does that, we can put up with the lack of range.

Seems like Hector doesn't understand how negotiations work and sees an exchange of numbers and runs with it as a signing being imminent.

January 25, 20215 yr Fuck, I'm really warming up to the idea of getting Cruz. His age scares me, but adding a potential 900 OPS bat would be filthy
