So my question for the Sox organization…

what have you learned here?

They didn't learn a damn thing. They were already sending out state media yesterday to write shit about how it could happen to anyone in the field even though Vaughn totally lacks the range and athleticism for the position and he is going to have to dive to make plays other real OFers could make without incurring those risks.

The fact that Pravda on 35th was out in full force should tell you that the team remains firmly entrenched in its tone deaf echo chamber of delusion. 

Penny wise and pound foolish remains the order of the day.

Anyone playing the outfield is always going to have plays where the ball is just a little out of reach. No matter how fast they are. Vaughn getting injured diving could happen to any of these guys traveling at a full sprint and diving. He’s a pretty sure handed fielder and he takes good routes to the ball. He’s just slow. 
For Adam Engel, this is a catch on the run. For Vaughn, it is not. The question is if diving is ever really worth it. It is certainly not in ST. It may be a business decision these guys have to make during the regular season.

that when players dive on the ground they can get a bruise?

No. He’s a first baseman you can put in LF and tell him not to dive until Abreu is gone. Eloy should be the full time DH. And the Sox should still sign Conforto.

Nevermind. Obviously a serious day due to the extent of the injury
