Quin Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 1 minute ago, Baron said: He's quickly becoming my favorite player. I don't like him playing the OF too much. But he's going to be a great hitter for a long time. I think we'd all rather he play at DH/1B, but him suddenly turning himself into a league average LF (per advanced metrics that I can find / understand) was a necessary evil that saved the season.

Given the construction of this roster, I'd much rather see Vaughn in the OF. He's a significantly more valuable player if he can handle LF/RF at passable effectiveness like we've seen so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I know history and blah blah blah, but why in the hell would anyone want to continue to have Pitchers bat? You are paid to pitch and should have to go through a lineup of 9 supposedly major league hitters. I hate NL baseball almost as much as Manfred extra inning ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
