SoxFanForever Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Kinda amazing that Madrigal has started pretty much every game despite being bad in every facet yet Vaughn can barely get in the lineup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constant refrain from Benetti every time the Sox play the Royals. Does get a little old sometimes. Expand I have absolutely nothing against the guy, it's just as you said, it's every time.

Expand Not disagreeing on Madrigal, but who would you play in his place? Mendick has to play SS, Leury is an abomination as an everyday player, and Lamb would mean Yoan had to shift to second. Again, I agree he has sucked, but not many choices at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Tbh this is all seems like a "power move" on his part. Probably didn't like that he was told Vaughn will be up and the man at DH and as a "this is my clubhouse and nobody tells me what to do" is just sending 2 big middle fingers to the FO by sitting him often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Despite all the weakness, Sox position players are collectively 4th in MLB in fWAR and 7th in wRC+ through the first week of the season. That’s certainly enough to contend this season if the pitching is as good as advertised. by the way, they’re ahead of the darling Padres and Yankees in both categories.

ShoeLessRob Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 This looks like a case of TLR being told Vaughn will make the team and him not necessarily agreeing. No reason to have him up here if he isn’t playing, wasting service time, and development sitting on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
