The Chicago White Sox are undergoing significant roster changes as veterans return from the Injured List. Veterans Mike Tauchman and Andrew Benintendi are back, leading to the demotion of Andrew Vaughn and Tim Elko, despite Elko's power contributions. Vaughn's struggles persisted even with competition for batters. The article explores the strategy of demotions as a form of tough love, drawing parallels to Jake Burger's successful reset after similar treatment. Further moves are anticipated from the White Sox front office to optimize team performance.
The demotion card should be played with the hope of getting through to Vaughn, and hopefully him coming back to reclaim his career.
Sometimes, tough love is better than giving unconditional love. Maybe that will be the case for Vaughn.
Elko was hitting .161 with a .188 on-base percentage... However, he was providing desperately needed power with three home runs in 10 games.
Vaughn is finally going down too. Elko's presence had an impact on Vaughn... but the fear of benching was no longer enough to get Vaughn out of his funk.
