And we have yet to see if he’s actually a 3 WAR player. The dude is back to his usual slumping self. Vargas, Rojas, Slater, Taylor… Second worst record in baseball… Yes, let me praise The Great Wizard GM Getz. 🥱 If you can magically trade Vargas for a top 100 prospect, go for it. Vargas started out the season in a 22-game slump, made a mechanical change to his stance, absolutely raked for 50 games, and as the league has adjusted to him, he hasn't done much for the last 11 games. I guess looking at a variety of stats is funny to a bandwagon guy who judges a player by who acquired him. We get it. You hate Chris Getz. You're always going to criticize every single move he makes. You're always going to pretend that good players are actually horrible based on their last at-bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very weird. I’m sure he and Robert will get hot once the weather heats up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're looking at an .899 OPS in May, a heater that actually extended a few weeks into June. You pretend an 11-game slump is "reverting to his career line", while guys like Joey Bart and Al Canario are potential hall-of-famers. LOL. Joey Bart is similar to Vaughn's career line this year (without the HRs), and we don't even have to pretend that. U funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that outweigh his larger sample size of his Dodgers days, his time with the White Sox last season, along with the 33 games this season that you referenced? Not in my book. Also, I’m not sure how guys like Bart and Canario have anything to do with this discussion considering they would have been near free acquisitions and served as bench players, not a full-time starter like Vargas that trade value was used to acquire. But please show me my post where I called Bart and Canario potential hall-of-famers. Edited July 2 by WhiteSox2023 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
