Regardless, the Sox need his bat in the lineup, but I'd rather him come back at 100% than get reinjured. It sucks that this team is taking on water, but they were stuck with limited options when they decided to stay under the lux tax.
So the overall numbers give Vaz a clear edge. However, the small sample that you've whittled down leaves you believing that Plawecki has an edge. Seems more likely that your sample is the one with the issues.
I'm not so sure that the next month and a half will dramatically change his next contract. Maybe the agent is more likely to say "stay out until you're 100% so that you don't reinjure yourself." What's worse: him waiting an extra week and coming back at 100% or him coming back too early and not being ready to go?
Outfielder Devlin Granberg went 2-for-4 with a double (10), and two RBI (28). Granberg has slashed .311/.333/.510over 156 plate appearances since his promotion to Double-A.
Can the hit tool carry him?
