ron883 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Who ya got as our initial DH? I assume they will hold Vaughn down for some time. I'm going with Yermin/Collins honestly. Collins will be the backup catcher, so they will both be on the roster. Edited December 2, 2020 by Yearnin' for Yermin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 The first few weeks don’t matter as long as Vaughn is ready to go. I will be livid if they trade or sign another DH type. Over the past decade, Avisal Garcia (0.9) is the only White Sox primary DH with a positive bWAR during their White Sox career. Davidson and Garcia the only two without prohibitive contracts for AAA player production (Parrot, Alonso, LaRoche, Dunn). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 If Vaughn doesn't break camp with the big club I see more of a rotating DH until he debuts. Maybe some Collins, some Abreu, some Eloy. We really have no idea at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 For the back end of the season its a combo of Vaughn/Abreu, but I think we'll see a rotating DH to start the year off as the Sox will be playing service time games with Vaughn to start the year. I don't see this team using their limited funds from JR for the DH. Any type of spending or player acquisition needs to go to RF, SP, and possibly the back end of the bullpen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what we heard this season from various sources and outlets, it doesn't sound like this kid is going to need a full minor league season. If he's ready you bring him up. Even the FO was debating doing just that near the end of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikk85 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 It would bei stupid to Bring up vaughn immediately because unless he signs an extension because then you could just as well have brought him up last September for the playoffs instead of EE. I doubt vaughn has improved much between September and next spring so there is really no argument to think he is ready in April but wasn't in September. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about a full season but I definitely think he starts in AAA and if he proves himself there, they won't hesitate to bring him up. I say a few months.

Dick Allen Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Why is this even a question? Vaughn may be the best hitter in the organization. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capital G Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Rotation between Jose/Collins. Then Vaughn in a few weeks. Unless they extend Vaughn then of course him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticky Stuff Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) If DH stands for TLR’s “Drink Holder” I bet JR makes RH do it. Edited December 2, 2020 by DH in the NL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
