Would the Chicago White Sox be better had they drafted Riley Greene instead of Andrew Vaughn?

Andrew Vaughn was drafted third overall by the Chicago White Sox in 2019 but has consistently performed at a replacement level since his 2021 debut. With a career -0.5 fWAR and a disappointing .252/.309/.415 slash line over 2277 at-bats, concerns about his potential persist. Comparatively, Riley Greene, drafted two picks later by the Detroit Tigers, has already become an AL All-Star with a career 7.6 fWAR. The White Sox's choice may haunt them as Vaughn struggles to capitalize on the opportunity presented by the team's talent core.

Andrew Vaughn has struggled to meet expectations as the No. 3 overall draft pick, while Riley Greene, selected two picks later, has become an All-Star.

Vaughn's limited production of -0.5 fWAR over four seasons highlights concerns about whether he can become the star player the White Sox envisioned.
