I agree on all of this. And especially how I don't want to see either of these two traded. I still have that sour taste in my mouth over losing Nicky Two Strikes. Not sure what the Sox long term plan is for Pito, being this year is the last on his contract. I'd hate to just see him walk. He's still an RBI machine and defensively he's better than ever. But we continue to have somewhat of a logjam at 1B/DH. Obviously, either Sheets or Vaughn can step in at 1st as well as play the OF. So for the time being, assuming we don't pick up a starting RFer this offseason, we can actually play all three fairly regularly at 1B/RF/DH. 2023 might be a different story, but at least we can keep all three active if there are no further developments.OK baseball fans - what do we talk about today?
What to do with Vaughn and Sheets?
I think Sheets is the rare kind of player who is especially locked in at the plate during big moments in a game. If Sheets is on the MLB roster - he ought to be the primary backup for Jose at 1st. Sheets can also use some time back at AAA proving he can hit Lefties.
Vaughn is developmentally ahead of Sheets at the plate. He can play a corner OF. He needs more work on hitting Righties. I'm really impressed with Vaughn's professional approach to the game. I expect he will show up this year - having worked on his game this winter and improve his numbers.
I wouldn't trade either of these guys this year.
