Though it’s gotten a fair amount of play on the internet, the idea of going into 2022 with some sort of Andrew Vaughn/Gavin Sheets platoon in right field wasn’t simply conjured up by an overanxious fanbase.

Unfortunately, it also speaks to the degree to which Vaughn’s stock has fallen, considering how monumental the gap between the two rookies was entering the season.
