Birmingham now cancelled.

Hopefully Birmingham starts soon. They've been leaf blowing at puddles in center field for quite some time now.

W-S banged again. 4th day in a row.

Tarp coming off in Mobile.

Tarp coming out for Birmingham's game as well.

W-S already in a delay. I'm not sure they will ever play baseball again.

10 sounds about right.

Wonder where he starts? W-S sound about right?

Yup. Now maybe Patrick Nolan can un-knot his underwear.

It's a rarity that a player selected in the top 10 rounds does not sign. Teams absolutely do the diligence before making the pick due to the potential of losing the slot value. The White Sox know his number and planned to be able to meet it. Regardless, Harold indicated that Dalquist has already signed.

He's in Arizona playing Fortnite and tweeting about LARPing. Presumably rehabbing too.

Yup. It was a fine pick at the time. As you said, the secondary stuff isn't good enough and the fastball didn't gain any of the projected velocity. Such is life when dreaming on prep arms.

Hope he's healthy enough to pitch in it.

Law verbatim on Dalquist.

Law really likes Dalquist. Advanced strike thrower already with future projection. Noted that if he got to college and had a normal development path, he saw him as a guy that would be top half of the first round pick in the future. Really excited about this one.

Thanks for this. Law is probably my favorite prospect/draft guy. Looking forward to giving it a listen.

Of course.

Robert looked to beat out a ground ball to SS, but was called out. He sure makes routine ground outs an adventure. Like every time.

Perhaps. I watched a lot of Madrigal on W-S streams this year as well. The quality of contact I'm seeing lately does seem better. He's been pulling the ball much more lately too.

Madrigal actually should have walked that at bat. Got jobbed on a very bad strike call. He's locked in. Done alot of damage today being behind in the count. Solid contact all day.

Madrigal RBI single. Line drive to the opposite field.

Robert strikes out. Chasing a pitch that was wayyyyy outside.

Madrigal has certainly looked better lately, but this wrist narrative is off IMO. He broke his wrist in February of 2018. Before he was even drafted. That was like 16 months ago.

Mayo on 2019 quick to the majors draft picks. https://www.mlb.com/news/2019-mlb-draft-picks-that-will-be-quick-to-mlb?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage
