I know I have been wrong about quite a few players over the years, but I really am surprised how bad Vaughn was in the MLB.

It's seems exclusively to the White Sox.

2 things happen - they become useful to another team or they are out of baseball

  • Lol isn’t that the definition of personal?

  • I'm just going to go ahead and declare that we won the Vaughn trade now. 

  • Not a fan of Civale, however, it's him or Clevinger, so I love the trade. If Elko is not the answer, and his pedigree does make that unlikely, the Sox have a ton of options starting with moving Vargas

It's not.

Give Elko  the rest of the season. The mix and match options will always be available. 
Rojas along with Slater et al should be DFAd in the near future (Slater today, really). 
 

Crapa or palacios go first

Seriously. People need to go look at drafts. Most guys fail.

Considering we've drafted and developed one position player into an all star for us in the last 30 years, it certainly seems more exclusive to the White Sox.

BREAKING: Aaron Civale requests trade from White Sox

Brewers: We are honoring your request and trading you to the White Sox.

Civale: Oh, I think you misheard what I said.  I said I wanted a FADE, as in a new haircut.  Sorry for any confusion!

Brewers: Too late.

Civale: I'll go to the bullpen and be good.  I won't complain at all.  I swear!

Brewers: Sorry, it's a done deal.

Civale: *stomps foot* I hate you!

This is exactly the point.

Them matching the salary makes it even better. 

For who?  Jerry?  It won't be spent on the team. 

As mentioned earlier, it was a trade for our s%*# for their s%*#.

Yeah but an experienced veteran starting pitcher is way better s%*# than a 1B who cant hit, field, or run.

At least I can still make the trip to Milwaukee to watch him play if I want to!

Good luck to andrew. Quite honestly I hope he figures it out and becomes a good hitter. That being sad, he was never going to hit when he played for the White Sox.

Getting a SP for the same salary is very good. 

Sad day for Stoney and Tony.

Don't worry, they will all have their new talking points very soon.

Maybe more emphasis on the community part? I guess he was also the most healthy from the last rebuild core. Not sure that’s worth a “thanks for everything you did for the team” though.

Inevitable, to move on from AV. I'm not sure we have the future answer in house, but AV had no real future on this team.

Gavin has put up more WAR in 60 games in SD, than he did in 435 games in Chicago. Maybe it isn't the player at fault, but the organization and their choices?

FIP of 5.53 could be scary coming here.

His last 180 IP haven't been great, but a lot of that is related to a change in pitch mix that hasn't worked and has been odd - hes moved away from his slider which was one of his best pitches and hes moved away from his curve which is his best pitch. He's become fastball heavy. 

The arm talent and strength is still there.

Another failed very high draft pick by this organization.

Seemed like a nice guy but simply isn't very good in professional baseball.

People will say this is hindsight but I was leaning more towards Sheets if they were only going to go with one going forward in the offseason, basically just because of the lefty bat.

However, I didn't really want to bring back either though, especially not Vaughn.

Edit: this isn't like an "I'm pissed they didn't keep Sheets" post. Because I also doubt he would be doing here what he's been doing in SD.

I wonder if Stone Pony is still going to talk about how Vaughn is ready to break out at any moment.

That Osik dude was probably right and Vaughn is just a lazy ass that took his talent and career for granted.

I do like that Barfield was giving quotes yesterday about how much of a professional he was while they were in the process of LAUNCHING HIS ASS.

I don't know about pro-Sheets, but tendering a contract to Vaughn in the off season was stupid then, and it didn't work out any better in hindsight.
