He seems to be injured as well with as little as he has been playing. I think it was a back issue. But I do agree his defense there is the better choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxForce2 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Andrew Vaughn playing second base... I'm trying to let that sink in. To wrap my mind around the image. I'm trying - I really am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 Look, I can handle him in LF, because kept simple, there isn't a lot of a chance for injury. But putting him in around the pivot at 2B just seems like an awful idea. I haven't seen anything that tells me he could handle the footwork enough to not get rolled at 2nd. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll see Maddon put Trout at 2B for the Angels this weekend. He's a really good athlete y'know.

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I really wish the White Sox would have acquired an actual second baseman. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 June 1st defensive lineup Defensively LF to RF we have Moncada, Anderson and Sheets Vaughn at 3B, Robert at SS, Burger at 2B, Abreu at 1B (he won't move) And catching Dallas Keuchel today is Leury Garcia. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kids Can Play Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Ok agreed, putting players out of position is not a good idea. What makes more sense and this was discussed earlier on this board, is put Moncada at 2nd when he comes back and keep Burger at 3rd. That is a position Moncada played for us and the position the Sox expected him to play when they traded for him in the Chris Sale trade. Moncada isn't going to be that much worse than Garcia at 2nd defensively, but a ton better offensively that Garcia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general I am against Moncada going back to 2B because I don't want to see two defensive positions weakened at one time, but Moncada at 2B is a WAY better idea than Vaughn there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I’d entertain Burger once in a while at 2B, at least he has actually worked out there and played games there in Charlotte. Just leave Vaughn be though. He’s passible in LF, and with Eloy out there’s no reason to keep pushing him around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35thstreetswarm Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Why not Abreu? Grandal? I mean, if we just totally untether ourselves from reality we can get a lot *more* flexible than that -- don't stop now, boys! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I remember that one time a poster suggested trading Adam LaRoche to the Cardinals, who would play him at second base. This reminds me of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiddleCoastBias Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Hopefully the only time Vaughn sees second base is when he's doing a home run trot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
