Pretty much this.  And Vaughn's years of cheap control gives him by far the greatest return value to plug the other holes

So you want to trade him for a second baseman?

It'd be helpful it we got one of our leadoff guys on and stopped their leadoff guys; that's one of the most frustrating parts of everything

We need lead off doubles, not singles.  Odds of double plays if we get someone on first are astronomical.

It's more of an issue with how the Sox have way too many 1B types. They need to get more left handed and plug the holes at 2B and RF. 

Who you going to get then ?  Would take Abrams from Washington otherwise you are giving up way too much. 

Tiggers currently up 3-1 in Cleveland.

8 consecutive no-hit innings by Kopech...dude, but he hung one..

Just now, fathom said:

Another hanger…won’t get this lucky all night 

Kopech is about where Cease was last year.  Frustrating that he needs to learn in what is now a pennant race.  I'd love if he could go to the pen in September. 

someone please tell yoan there's a runner on third

Threw a bad one to Tucker also

He needs to rework the slider this off-season. He needs to throw it more like Cease's. If he's gonna throw it the way he's throwing it now, it needs to be a faster pitch (88-89 instead of 85-86). Cause right now, the movement on the pitch is more akin to a cutter and mid 80s cutters are not very good pitches.

tell him there's a dime piece waiting at home.

Just let Yoan ph in the 8th these days

How do we all feel about Kopech being where Cease is now at this time next year??

Just filthy stuff from Framber through the first couple innings

Slider won't be as good but hopefully the curve plays and control improves. 

the infield is going to look like the surface of the moon in a few innings.

And stay in for defense.

What is it going to take to give up on Yaz?

The good thing with Yaz is that his exit velos have gotten better as of late. The result aren't there, but at least he's hitting the ball like a major leaguer again. 

this guys is dealing so far
