JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 6 hours ago, hi8is said: Vaughn was the having the most impressive at bats in spring training and completely looked the part of a professional hitter. I’ll say that and would be real surprised if Edwin was regulated to bench duty or DFA so soon. EE will be one and done so if the organization thinks Vaughn gives them a better chance to win over the next 5 weeks+ then give him a shot. Probably would be good for the kid to get some playoff experience too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 If the FO wants to promote Vaughn I’m all for it. Just wish they would address the more pressing need in RF... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananarchy Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I said no, but I think if he can play every day he might get called up. I tend to be 'service time' guy but am willing to give Hahn's contractual savvy the benefit of the doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'd be fine with it if they can find a way to get him in the everyday lineup. Just not really sure how you do that unless you get cute in RF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not really sure how you do that unless you get cute in RF. This was my initial reaction too, but to play devil's advocate a bit: Would he really be missing any actual development if we treat him as a September call up in a year with no minor league play anyway? Getting him into the major league dugout for a few weeks and even just 10-20 ABs may be just as useful as playing scrimmages in Schaumburg throughout September. And hey, if he looks good in a few pinch hitting situations early, you can always expand his role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 If the Sox already know that Mazara and Encarnacion won’t be part of 2021, then DFA both now, and bring up Madrigal and Vaughn. They’re in the playoffs either way in an asterisk season. Vaughn is a special hitter. He was drafted 3rd as a righty 1b for a reason- he can mash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no reason to bring him up. If they shock us and give up EE then Collins and the catchers rotate DH. If they need another one they try Yermin. No need whatsoever to screw with Vaughn's service time when they got a guy like Mercedes whose service time means nothing.

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Sign him to 8 years, 50 million and then you can bring him up... Otherwise just wait, makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Bye bye Edwin. Only thing I don't like is Vaughn will likely play 95% of the games at DH and he won't develop and get the reps at 1B under Renteria/Abreu. Hopefully the organization tells Abreu he needs to DH more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see Vaughn getting the call wasting a year of eligibility for only half the season left. I’d support it however I don’t think Sox management will pull the trigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
