With his back issues seemingly every year he's getting into Jimenez, Robert, Moncada territory.

He had one 10-day stint for back tightness in 2021. Vaughn also had one 10-day IL trip after getting hit in the hand by a pitch. He really isn't getting into "Jimenez, Robert, Moncada" territory.

IL is 10 days, we're looking at him being out 3-5 days minimum.....if only there were some system in place, to use the roster spot while Vaughn gets healthy.....

He also blamed the 2nd half of last year on back problems.

AV has been a hot/cold hitter, perhaps as a result of scouting which revealed some vulnerabilities he has at the plate. The big leg kick helps him time his swing and generate power. However, that strategy makes it tougher to cover pitches on the outside of the plate, especially when a pitcher can mix in some off-speed stuff out there. Like any other hitter, he has to continue to make adjustments. Maybe at this point the Sox need another hitting coach and a new Manager to help some of these players out of the rut they are in.

Sheets has beaten out Vaughn for the starting first base job but not by much. They are both pretty average hitters. Ideally the Sox sign a free agent stick for 1B like Vlady Jr.  I am spoiled as a Sox fan after Big Hurt and Konerko and even Abreu in his prime.

Joey Votto is probably more likely to be signed by the Sox than Vlad Jr.

The way he plays makes me wish he was.

Tigers sent Torkelson to AAA. I wonder if the Sox are even thinking that way.

why do teams keep drafting catchers that cant catch if they're just going to turn them into first basemen unless their hitting peripherals are through the roof
