March 25, 20214 yr At this point, I think I’d have to go: Eaton/Madrigal Grandal Abreu Anderson Moncada Vaughn Robert Williams/Engel Madrigal/Eaton

March 25, 20214 yr 5 minutes ago, flavum said: As long as Vaughn is serviceable and won’t crash into Robert, I don’t dislike this lineup. In our ballpark, with Robert in CF it really shouldn't be that big of an issue to have Vaughn in LF for the first 7 innings. When Engel is in RF we should still have a plus outfield. There are fewer shorter tasks in sports than playing LF at Guaranteed Rate Field. If you can keep yourself from getting hurt, you don't even have to be serviceable on D.
March 25, 20214 yr I would do: 1. Anderson SS 2. Moncada 3B 3. Abreu 1B 4. Grandal C 5. Vaughn LF/DH 6. Robert 7 Eaton RF 8. Whoever the fuck is in the lineup opposite position of Vaughn (Leury/Yermin/Collins/Williams/Engel eventually) DH/LF 9. Madrigal 2B
March 25, 20214 yr Grandal in a run producing spot is a horrible idea. You have to have ability to get base hits to bring in runs

You have to have ability to get base hits to bring in runs Maybe flip Moncada and Grandal in my lineup? Not a fan of Grandal 2 though. With Eloy in the lineup, I'd have Grandal 5 or 6. More likely outcome is probably Eaton 2 spot. Edited March 25, 20214 yr by manbearpuig
March 25, 20214 yr I don’t know. I think we’ve got to just hope Vaughn comes straight out in beast mode at this point. Looks a lot worse anyway you stack it without Eloy in the middle otherwise

I dont think Vaughn will stay that low for long. But even the bottom third will be tough on pitchers and they can get pretty good OBP from 789. In fact, it may be the best OBP at 789 of anyone in the league.
March 25, 20214 yr Author Here are my new lineup ideas: vs RHP | vs LHP Anderson, SS | Anderson, SS Grandal, C# | Grandal, C# Abreu, 1B | Abreu, 1B Moncada, 3B# | Robert, CF Robert, CF | Vaughn, LF Collins, DH* | Moncada, 3B# Vaughn, LF | Mercedes, DH Eaton, RF* | Engel, RF Madrgial, 2B | Madrgial, 2B Just brutal how much losing Eloy changes the complexion of the lineup.

March 25, 20214 yr Anderson SS Grandal C Abreu 1B Moncada 3B Robert CF Vaughn DH Eaton RF Madrigal 2B Hamilton/Garcia LF until Eaton is back
March 25, 20214 yr Opening Day: SP Giolito 1. Anderson SS, 2. Eaton^ RF, 3. Abreu 1B, 4. Moncada* 3B, 5, Robert CF, 6. Grandal* DH, 7. Garcia* LF, 8. Lucroy C, 9. Madrigal 2B If Grandal can catch, than perhaps Vaughn will be brought up or they'll go with Collins at DH. EDIT: RHP Bundy is the Angels' pitcher, so I believe La Russa will bat Eaton 2nd and Grandal 5th or 6th. (Had Grandal 2 and Eaton 6) Edited March 25, 20214 yr by South Side Hit Men

If he can, than perhaps Vaughn will get the nod at DH if JR is not worrying about his contract when JR is in his 90s. Would be irresponsible to shove Vaughn in Left Field, but then again this is what the White Sox do as general operating procedure.

We can’t afford to start both Lucroy & Leury unless it’s against a LHP. It’s Vaughn or die time for better or worse.

How can this team be considered a legit world series contender starting a rookie first basemen in left field? How is there absolutely no depth on the farm after this team sucked for so long?

It’s Vaughn or die time for better or worse. With Engel out, they are limited in OF. They were last year when Hahn was spending $36M on Grandal, Parrot and Mazara, and ended up with Nicky Delmonico in RF on OD. I'd bring up and start Collins over Lucroy, but the manager and Narron are likely to side with "veteran presence". That's why Billy Hamilton was brought in, before the Eloy injury. My lineup is based on what I believe La Russa and Narron will do. Garcia is the best actual outfielder option unless they go out an get another OFer before OD. Does Vaughn even own a mitt beyond a 1B mitt? It's reckless to put him out there, even with a one week crash course. Then again, recklessness is how they got to this point. It is ironic that La Russa was shitcanned in part for his experiment of Carlton Fisk in Left Field.

It was Jerry's brilliant idea to fire Hemond and bring in Hawk. Hawk also purged Dave Dombrowski, architect of the great 1990s Expos teams, Miami's two World Series Championship teams, Detroit's two AL Pennants, another WS title in Boston and likely a solid contending team with the Phillies after he gets a few years to clean up that mess (the bullpen is already much improved, their major issue the past few seasons).

March 26, 20214 yr It is basically a Eloy for Collins swap in terms of just hitting so let's hope Collins can break out and give us lets say 20 home runs and an above average OBP
