Sort of like Andrew Vaughn last year. Of course, playing a new position and having a history of hamstring problems... Not at all like Andrew Vaughn last year. AV was a first baseman learning the outfield. Pollock is a leftfielder needing to learn rightfield. It's literally the closest position to his natural one...one corner outfield spot to another. Not saying there won't be an adjustment, but it's not even close to being the same adjustment Vaughn had to make.

We still have a bunch of round pegs and square holes in Eloy, Sheets and Vaughn with Abreu on the roster. At least until they're traded away. Collins, although not sure he will get a shot anywhere unless they mercifully jettison him into space from Charlotte's roster.

Sox couldn't make it to Opening Day without multiple guys getting hurt, but now everyone is acting if all of the core players will be healthy all year. I don't get it. Engel still has a lot of value for the Sox and it's not like someone would give up a great piece for a guy with ~200 PA's worth of being a good hitter that's coming off labrum surgery. Finally having depth in the OF is nice and it's something the Sox should lean on throughout the year.
April 2, 20223 yr Good deaI. I guess I can't say they never learn anymore. They learned it was a really bad idea to have Andrew Vaughn be the everyday RF.

April 2, 20223 yr Good deal. Now let’s lay off playing Leury every single day and go close out this off season with the acquisition of a starting pitcher out in Oakland!

April 2, 20223 yr I'd like to see this trade: Keuchel + 10 Mil. , Burger, Adolfo, Collins, Cespedes, ad Romy Gonzalez for Manea, Montas, and Murphy.

April 2, 20223 yr 5 minutes ago, fathom said: Might not even get you one guy Murphy is probably the highest valued guy there just because he has 4 years of control left and plays a premium position.

If that were even remotely enough the deal would have been done weeks ago. Oakland laughs and hangs up the phone at that offer.
April 2, 20223 yr 10 minutes ago, fathom said: Might not even get you one guy None of those dudes have a ton of trade value. That doesn’t get Manaea alone. Definitely doesn’t get either of the other two let alone all three.

To the A's, Keuchel is entirely irrelevant. As of right now, I don't know a team that would be interested. Edited April 2, 20223 yr by FoxForce2

April 2, 20223 yr First time in a long while that a white sox trade has been universally praised by our fan base.
