My favorite teams
From everything I've read the Sox are going to make a decision between Andrew Vaughn the first baseman from Cal or CJ Abrams a HS shortstop. Vaughn is a slugger that hits for average and has a good eye. Abrams is supposed to be off the charts as an athlete. I hope they take Vaughn (unless somehow Rutschman falls). He could step in relatively soon as a DH and move to first when Abreu is done. Hopefully by that time Burger is healthy and ready to go because I think he projects as a DH too.
I want a player that will be able to contribute in 2020 or 2021 at the latest. I think Vaughn best fits that profile. Last year he played 54 games hit .402 and smacked 23 home runs. This year he has played 50 games and is hitting .387 with 15 HRs. In 2017 he hit .349 which was his worst batting average at Cal.
Do you want a hitter like Vaughn or a high upside middle infielder that is probably 3-5 years from the majors?
