Sure, because two guys who shouldn't be on the corners versus just one...with LF honestly being an issue for the majority of teams.

And I agree with you on that. But would Vaughn be less likely to get hurt if the other corner outfielder was a great defender? Absolutely not. 

It’s using the butterfly effect to place blame in a misguided way.

It feels like other orgs have been able to play players in different positions without them exploding. Maybe our instruction is also horrible. 
 

Examples: Semien, Narvaez improvements post-Sox. Other examples: everyone being shit defensively once joining Sox

Our instruction very well might be horrible, but in this specific case, I think it’s just bad luck. Vaughn played a solid LF all year last year without getting hurt. There are no teams teaching guys how to properly dive without injuring their hips. 

Fingers crossed this is a very minor injury.

@ptatc - Need your expertise ASAP!

Sorry, I was traveling and didn't see it. He lands on it but no obvious indication as to what the injury is.

Hip pointer or labral injury perhaps. But that's total guess work based on the two most likely due to the impact.

I mentioned hip pointer in the game thread. Now you made me feel smarter.

Or follow whatever they did in 2012 to go from near last to Top 3 defensively in Ventura's first year.

Because typical Sox defensive and lacking fundamentals play took over for a decade after that.

The overreacting here is very funny.  

He probably has like a hip pointer or something like that.  I'll assume that is all it is until the team states differently 

Residual nightmares from the Robert and Madrigal injuries last year.

I think people just like blaming the front office at every opportunity. If Kimbrel would have gotten in a car accident on the way to the fields today, people would blame it on Hahn for picking up his option.

Or Kenny Williams.  Or TLR.  Or JR out to sheer stubbornness to prove all the naysayers (they supposedly don't listen to) wrong.

I get it but come on lol.  Vaughn stood up and shook his hips, what did Madrigal and Robert do when they got injured, they laid on the ground in agony.
