Baldwin on the bench again, it has to be Getz not liking him.

Or that Baldwin has a pretty clear split disadvantage against LHP this year.

I think it’s just showcasing all the OFs we are trying to move.  Robert, Tauchman, Slater, & Taylor all in the lineup and I expect at least three of them and possibly all four of them to be traded in next 10 days or so.

SoxMachine pregame notes. 

Pregame notes: Latest best chance for the first sweep of the season - Sox Machine

Quote

* At the risk of an extremely arbitrary endpoint, after securing 14 outs of scoreless baseball Saturday night the White Sox bullpen has a 2.74 ERA since June 19 (basically the past month). That's the lowest mark in the American League.
There's a small collection of Sox hitters who thrive against lefties, but the degree to which they thrive is not subtle, and Venable is pretty proactive in deploying them when there's opportunity.

Edgar Quero - 178 wRC+
Luis Robert Jr. - 168
Mike Tauchman - 148
Andrew Benintendi - 142
Austin Slater - 141
No one else is over 100 wRC+ against lefties on the season

It's interesting how Tauchman, until this year, has been deployed almost solely as a platoon bat. But he has never had much in the way of bad splits against lefties. Out of necessity, the Sox have let him hit lefties and he's done very well against them.

Hopefully we see Chase & Vargas turn things around here.  I am still a believer in both of them, although fully acknowledge that Miguel is a harder buy if destined for 1B.

They both are playing better. I didn't expect them to just sail through the season wtihout hiccups. Especially Chase.

Agreed and I pointed this out when he was signed. That he doesn’t need a platoon guy against LHP

I'll give the Sox minor league development folks a thumbs-up on Colson's defense. Always nice when a guy is pegged as a question mark with the glove but he ends up being better than advertised. 

We'll leave discussion of his bat for another day

I think Vargas is a first baseman. Some minor adjustments defensively and I think he could be decent. Wish Elko could hit. Would be a nice 1b/DH combo
