During a spring training game, Tim Elko of the Chicago White Sox hit a solo home run and has been excelling at Triple-A with nine home runs, leading minor leaguers in various hitting metrics. Despite his success, the team emphasizes support for struggling MLB first baseman Andrew Vaughn, who is underperforming this season. White Sox GM Chris Getz recognizes Elko's talent and potential but reinforces the commitment to fostering Vaughn's growth, acknowledging his hard work and addressing his recent difficulties.
When a minor league prospect is succeeding and the big league player at his position is struggling, it can be easy to jump to conclusions.
Tim's a special guy, has got tremendous leadership qualities. He impacts others beyond just himself.
We're more focused on supporting Andrew right now. He's been one of the more unlucky hitters in baseball.
We expect more out of him. I know he's working very hard. And our job is to get the most out of each player.
