    Some of you guys are absolutely delusional. Vaughn is here because Getz is a coward and can't tell his boss he wasted 5.85 million. He has no trade value. 

  • He is?? News to me

Elko has that TWTW.

Nancy Faust at the game on Sunday. I suggest her walk up song for Elko should be “Wilco (the song).” Almost an Oh Ee Oh Magglio vibe.

Glad to see this finally. Also, Bryan Ramos is just about ready to go. Two homers in last three games.

Please be one of those dudes who just ends up being a damn good player despite limited minor league hype…

The lack of plate discipline and high K% isn't something that leads me to believe he will have long term success or turn into a potential long term answer for this team. But the kid is deserving to get a shot and can't be much worse than what we are seeing from Vaughn.

Andrew Vaughn is OPSing .749 in May.

Trade him now. 

The fact this guy has even made the big leagues is pretty remarkable. Good for him. Hopefully some of that success can transfer to the big time.

Wonder whose spot he takes? Amaya? Dropping Vaughn and having Sosa/Vargas/Elko as a rotating 1b/DH combo would do wonders.

Maybe the phantom IL Chase? Do we know why he was scratched last night?

Chase Meidroth was scratched from the lineup with right shoulder soreness and replaced at shortstop with Jake Amaya, while the rest of the batting order was slid up a spot to replace him.

Another huge development win for Getz and his staff.

You mean the player that Hahn drafted?

Wait, I thought that since Getz was part of that front office, he's completely culpable for every move that was made. Pick a lane, grandpa.

I’m not a grandpa yet.  Aren’t you in your 60’s?

Elko was already hitting well in the minors in 2023 while Hahn was still in charge.

Elko was already hitting well in the minors in 2023 while Hahn was still in charge.

...And Getz was an Assistant GM and Director of Development. Getz personally imbued Tim Elko with his advancement in the organization, then kept the entire group that drafted him. I'm led to believe by you guys that Chris Getz made all the decisions under Hahn.

I'm a young soul.

Wait I thought since Getz didn't direct him to be drafted he couldn't be held responsible for his development.  Pick a lane ,Grandpa.

I'm happy for Tim. Gotta be a good feeling to go from AAA to AAAA

Why would you phantom IL one of your few interesting young players? He's either legitimately dinged up and is expected to be unavailable for a week, or it'll be someone else. 

Glad Elko got the call, he's earned it. I'll be rooting for the guy, but I have low expectations. 30% K rates in the minor leagues do not translate well to the big leagues, especially for a DH type. I suspect most of the those clamoring for him the past month will be complaining about his inability to make contact in no time.

He's easily expendable?

Sure, but why even bother if they were going to call up Elko a day or two later?Seems pretty pointless.
