People keep saying this, but if they were interested in Brantley they obviously don't think Vaughn is quite MLB ready. I think it's likely he stays down all year.

He won't come up until July at the earliest if we sign a DH. The excuse will be that he needs to play in AA and AAA first. Especially if the signed DH is having a great season.

That's the million dollar question. I'm not sure what's best. You either suck it up and rotate Collins, Grandal, Eloy, etc. at DH for a couple weeks. Or you sign another big bat and keep Vaughn down for a while. Personally, I want Vaughn up as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many DH types. If we sign another bat (and we should), it needs to be a guy that can play the field. Dahl, Gonzalez, Kike, LaStella, Profar all far better fits than another DH.

I think Vaughn comes up as soon as the extra year is secured assuming he's healthy. No benefit to waiting until June or July (other than super 2, which I dont think they're messing with). As I just stated in the post previous to this, bringing in another bat should be a priority. But it needs to be someone who can play the field. We don't need a DH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure TLR wants to entrust that fulltime role in a World Series seeking year to a rookie. In any event, Vaughn could still spell Jose at 1B 1 or 2 days a week and DH against LHP. There is a role for both players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Schwarber is having a great season then Vaughn stays down with the excuse he needs to play AA and AAA ball. If Schwarber is mediocre to bad, you call up Vaughn and trade Schwarber, or have him ride pine. If Vaughn struggles too much in this scenario, you DH Eloy and start Schwarber in left.

Orlando Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Liam Hendriks thread ft Kyle Schwarber.

Lol, they're not bringing Vaughn up to ride the bench and only play against lefties and they aren't playing Schwarber over Vaughn once Vaughn arrives. If the Sox sign Schwarber, they clearly don't think AV is ready. Which goes against most of what we've heard from Hahn. Schwarber wasn't a fit pre-Eaton, and he's less of a fit now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has yet to face anything above high A ball pitching. No reason to rush our best prospect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also has never played above A+. In general "oh no! We have a player mashing in AAA but already have this guy here" isn't really an issue for the white sox. It is probably a huge issue for Schwarber though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
