I have no idea what changed when he came up, but I also don't know for certain which guy he is, because that's like 2 different guys. Lasik?

Quin Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 38 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: 1. Timmy 2. Moncada 3. Robert 4. Abreu (because we know they won't move him) 5. Yaz 6. Eloy 7. Pollock 8. Vaughn/Sheets 9. The legend I'd guess they'd likely bat Sheets 7 and Pollock 8 when Sheets plays to break up the Righties. That's an absolutely filthy lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughn struggled mightily with RHP last year so a season in Charlotte could be beneficial. Why are we assuming that Vaughn can't/won't improve as a hitter after his first full season? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 1 hour ago, ChiSox59 said: Was the $3M bonus already paid? So its $18M luxury tax hit, but out of pocket for Sox is $15M? So a $1M savings. Bonus is non-cash at this point. From what I can tell, we will owe him his $10M cash salary this year plus either a $10M salary for 2023 or a $5M buyout. His luxury payroll hit for both years appears to be $12M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Just now, maloney.adam said: Sheets raked last year but keep in mind that was only for less than half a season. We don’t know how good he will be for a full season so including him in a deal for a SP wouldn’t necessarily be horrible. Sheets has Oakland player written all over him TBH. I'm split on him. On one hand, what he did was in a small sample and probably not representative of who he is over a full season. On the other hand, it's been a long time since we've had a power bat like him from the left side that's actually been exciting. If what happened last year was real, he's easily a 30 homer guy over a full season. Even if he plays no defense, that has a lot of value. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not, he's the victim of a numbers game and because he's the guy with the highest potential and is the youngest player, it makes sense to get a year back and give him MiLB at bats, as he's not played above HiA in the minors.

maxjusttyped Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I don't understand people projecting playing time as if everyone will stay healthy the entire season. That's not how this work at all. Guys will get hurt and need days off anyway. Vaughn is going to play a ton, even if on paper, he's slated to be in the short side of a DH platoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
