He's been good lately but he's got a lot to still prove. He is 25 and is finally producing a bit, keep it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Cuban connection resurgence led by top prospect Venezuelan infielder hitting Slappy white dude at second All that's missing is a masher at first base and suddenly we're checking all of the Sox stereotypes.

Don’t get me wrong, he could still easily end up being a bust and out of baseball in a few years. I just never understand stating something like that as fact so quickly instead of, you know, letting it actually play out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also seems to have put in a lot of work defensively as he's been fine at 3B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty much the worst hitter in baseball since the trade up until this hot streak. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he was just a bad regular, he was arguably the worst regular in MLB since the trade, competing with our own Andrew Vaughn. So he's gotten hot for a couple weeks, well keep it up. Finishing with like a 250/300/450 line would be a really good season. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is the smaller MLB sample size for Vargas? His first 650 or so plate appearances with both the Dodgers and White Sox in which he was one of the worst hitters in baseball or his most recent 50 or so plate appearances in the past 10 games in which he is hitting out of his mind? It would be great if he keeps it up but I wouldn’t wager a dollar on it. The law of averages will catch up with him. Some posters were sweating Gavin Sheets’ hot start and @caulfield12 kept raving about it. I said give it time, and his massive swoon has already begun.
