Sox trying to fix Vargas

Featured Replies

Meanwhile Marlins got Norby for a bum SP. Has 2 more HRs today.  Another yesterday.  8 in 100 ABs. Hitting .330 for marlins. Good job Getz. I wanted him so bad.

    I'm all for trying to fix once top prospects but man, you don't target that kind of guy in the trade of your best asset traded at the deadline.

  • I’m not a professional so I may be way off, but the Dodgers couldn’t get him to hit or field, so I’m thinking the Sox will fail.

.917 OPS on the entire season.  Getz is a loser.

Yeah choosing Vargas over Norby was always silly

And no one could argue against Norby due to his glove because Vargas is awful defensively anyways.

The fixing is going well.  0-3 with 3Ks

He just can’t hit velocity.

I love when it looks like he is swinging after the ball is already in the catcher’s mitt.

The Sox should tell Vargas to employ the same strategy that he did with the Dodgers a year ago when he fractured his pinky finger.  The Dodgers coaching staff told him to go up to the plate and never swing.  He’d be more productive that way.

Vargas appears to be unfamiliar with the game of baseball.

Basically everyone the Sox traded away, is playing really well.

By “everyone” you mean just Kopech right? Orioles fans are ready to launch Eloy into the sun, Fedde has been worse, and Pham was already let go by the Cardinals.

Why the f*** is Vargas playing 3b every day while Ramos is DH?  I hate this organization so much

Take out a flukey first inning where the Cubs scored 5 ER in his first start with the Cards, Fedde has actually been great since.

I don’t see how they let him start in the majors next year

Idk where they should even play him. 3B I guess. Let Ramos and him battle it out in ST.

Just stick him at DH and give him the entire year to show something.

Vaughn can continue to be his normal subpar self at 1B.

And for the love of god do not bring Sheets back.

I’d rather put him in LF and DH Benintendi (even though I assume he’s traded with Crochet)

Attaching Benintendi to Crochet is a dumb idea. It would make the return worse

Chris Getz tried to do this at the deadline.

He is a dumb man operating under a penny pincher.

We continue to be the dumbest franchise in baseball.

Improved today.  0-4 but only 2Ks. 

8 Ks in last 15 ABs. 

Team has struck out 16x today through 8 innings.

I’m absolutely shocked that the Sox are having no luck fixing Vargas, considering how good they are at fixing swings.

🤣

Vargas is a bust and the Sox won’t be the team to fix him, even if he can be fixed.

He was doing the one handed swing thing more today.  It’s honestly the worst swing I’ve seen this year.

I couldn’t watch the game.  Did he swing at any fastballs after they were clearly already in the catcher’s mitt?  That’s my favorite Vargas move.

They can "fix" him by DFA' ing his sorry ass.
