maloney.adam Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Vaughn shouldn’t be playing the OF. We drafted him to take over 1st base after Abreu is gone. In the meantime give him reps at 1st base and have Abreu DH. I don’t know what’s so hard about that.

You've been around the game a lot. So why is it that some players can play multiple positions and others like AC can't? Athleticism? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am skeptical until we get more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughn played 1B for a reason and it's because he lacks the defensive ability to play a more difficult position. He looked like he was running thru quick sand. It was a routine play and Vaughn had to belly flop to make it while guys like Betts, Harper, Heyward, etc all catch that ball in their back pocket. Vaughn lacks the neccessary skills to be a big league outfielder and if he somehow avoids injury today it's just delaying the inevitable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Vaughn has decent instincts in the OF, given he's probably never played there outside of little league or maybe high school. He just lacks any sort of speed to play out there. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hibbard Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 This is all so dumb because this whole thing would have been avoided by getting a real right fielder to play right field this season. It didn’t have to be Conforto. It could be anyone. Anyone who naturally plays RF. How hard is it? You spend 183 million and you can’t spend 10% more to field one position adequately. I don’t really care if Vaughn didn’t play as much because he was splitting backup LF / backup 1B / Platoon DH. He could get more seasoning this year and be full time 1b next year. Now we have to wonder if he’s even going to play this year. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then there's the issue of accuracy, hitting the cut off man, more instinctual plays. Just looked much more confident in LF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is injured for a lengthy period of time, the White Sox must now be setting a purely subjective baseball record for worst handling of a consensus Top 5 pick, at least in recent history. Any worse examples come to mind? Edited March 28, 2022 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why is it that some players can play multiple positions and others like AC can't? Athleticism? I'm not sure the injury can be blamed on playing the OF, everyone can get hurt but when it comes to multi position ability it is generally easier to adjust to a position to your left in the defensive spectrum. The defensive spectrum is considered DH-1b-LF-RF-3B-CF-2b-ss-c and generally switching to the left of the spectrum is much easier. There are exceptions of course and it is not linear but generally a SS can play all IF spots, a CF can play all OF spots and a first baseman can only play first and DH albeit there are exceptions to this too (bellinger for example).

Dick Allen Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 It's a freak injury. Maybe he shouldn't be out in RF, but he played a lot of OF last year. He prepared this winter to play the OF. So it's not like they just threw him out there yesterday to see what he can do. Sometimes bad things just happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
