Sure but what does that have to do with undervaluing Vaughn?

I'm not undervaluing Vaughn. You're overvaluing him and undervaluing Keller

Take off the silver and black goggles for a moment, will ya? Look at it from a neutral POV.

    The board is like a contest between Caufield and Jack to see who can be the biggest shit poster.

    This board has become full on insufferable. The White Sox not having a window beyond 2023 is 1 of the dumber things typed on the internet today

    Mike Schmidt came up at same age as Vaughn, same number of at bats, lower first season OPS and he couldn't hit righties at all.   The Phillies were not stupid enough to trade him for some 30 year old

Maybe the goal is to have no first round picks other than Anderson on the Sox active roster.

Collins, Crochet, Rodon, Burdi, Madrigal, Fulmer, so AV's days are obviously numbered.

Wish our loser front office would be as aggressive as the Padres. At least they're trying to win a WS. 

Man, Friday feels like last year.

I don't even know who Keller is. I have never once commented on him. 

And yes you have undervalued Vaughn since the drafted a RH first baseman that they could get anywhere.

Of all of the Soxtalk overreactions, the Vaughn vs LHP one is probably my least favorite.

This......is not going well for you. 

In my opinion, the Sox could have easily beaten this if they wanted to.  And it’s very clear they’re aware that they need another starter.  As such, perhaps there is a different starting pitcher they are close on?  Obviously Montas is an option, but the Reds still have Castillo & Mahnle.  The problem there is you’re probably talking Vaughn or bust, although the Reds didn’t exactly get a haul for two years of Gray.

I don't want them to trade him for just anyone. I recognize his value. 

I just think that the board overrates his value league wide. He's a RH hitting 1B. As good as his potential is, that's not exactly a valuable piece.

Again, from the Pirates point of view Vaughn hit .235 with an OPS barely over .700 and a 68 wRC+ against RHP. 

Both guys kinda sucked as rookies

 

 

Yeah, luckily most GMs don’t just leverage stat lines from a rookie season when evaluating young players and will consider scouting reports, prospect pedigree, development time, etc to develop their own go-forward projections.

And Josh Nelson was saying on Twitter Manaea would cost Colson Montgomery…lol

No idea how we couldn’t find a package better than what the Padres gave up here.

The 19-year-old infielder that the A’s got would be a top 5 prospect in the Sox system. Sox equivalent is like Jose Rodriguez or Kath/Montgomery I’d think. Sox likely weren’t doing that for a 1 year guy. Teams just aren’t interested in Sheets and Burger it seems. Shocking I know.

Mitch Keller and Andrew Vaughn were similarly rated prospects going into 2021.

IDGAF about Vaughn’s stats from last year. He skipped AA and AAA and hadn’t played in a game for over a year, and is a year removed from being a consensus top 20 prospect in the game as a 1B, and certainly would have been much higher if he played OF in college. He has enormous offensive upside. And on top of all that has more control than Keller. 

you have a lot of really bad takes, but this is up there.

I think I am one of the few people on this board that looks at thing from a neutral point of view.

I don't profess to be some talent evaluating savant, but the simple fact is that this team needs better starting pitching depth and there do not appear to be any remaining free agent candidates available, whom they could sign. Therefore, a trade is the only viable option that Hahn can pursue, if they are to maximize this window of contention. The best trade chip would likely have to be a young player, who is cheap, with several years of control, and who is not currently needed on this roster. Who fits that description? Is there anyone besides Vaughn, who fits that description and whom Hahn could offer, in order to acquire a #2, or #3 starter with at least 2 years of control?  So, to reiterate; whom should Hahn be trying to acquire and what would it likely take to get him?

It's mind boggling that the Sox system is such complete shit compared to the Padres. The Pads traded away so many prospects yet their low tier prospects are still comparable to the Sox top 5. Sad.

Lol. Ok Jack. Vaughn for Keller is a comically bad proposal. Thank god you’re not running this org.

Truly investing resources into scouting and development matters. Signing teenagers instead of older Cubans every year matters as well.

I have a bad feeling the Sox trade Vaughn for Montas. No inside info, just a feeling.

We would regret that for years 

The Sox need to build up their farm system with high school prospects.

Despite my switch to Northside fandom, I'll be cashing in on that free beer offer at the GRate, Jack!

What's more likely. Someone on this board being an optimist, or you being a pessimist?
