Bottom line is you have to give the kid a shot because statically he's raking and he's a good fielder and that might be because he's taking walks this year and that might actually have helped him be a better hitter unlike Robert. Vaughn can't field, hit, walk or run. Send him down. Maybe he'll be worth more if he can light up Charlotte . He's got all his options. Statistically he's the worst player in baseball. There's nothing to lose here. It's the hitting that is making the Sox truly terrible. They'd be around 95-100 loss team with even a little bit more hitting, both power and batting average. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are last in baseball is just about every major offensive category. Runs per game: 3.12 Average: .203 Slugging: .310 Hits: 163 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Gilbert opening again today? When's the last time a pitcher had started back to back games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure but I guess a guy opening back to back days isn’t different than a reliever being used back to back days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 (edited) Starting Gilbert again today...not sure long they can go with that strategy without overexposing him. We can't quite quit Amaya lol. Benintendi Palacios Thaiss sitting not sure if Workman's going to be available. Taylor playing today when he had great split against Severino yesterday from his time with the Nats.

fathom Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Here’s what I hate (and hope he shuts me up), but why move Vargas back to lead off quickly? Let him keep working on his swing without making him think of a different role in the lineup? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie would probably put Baldwin there "because he's pretty fast." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

46DidIt Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 With this nine, I'd go with a lineup like this at this point: Baldwin Sosa Quero Robert Dalbec Vargas Vaughn Taylor Amaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except it assures he's going to see the same three guys at top of the lineup two days in a row, which seems pretty dumb to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
