Sox Fan In Husker Land

I agree with the settles at 10 HRs when he's 27/28. I see him around about 300/360/410 every year, with great D, and above average base running. FYI Podsednik's ISO in the minors were fairly similar to what Madrigal's are now. I doubt we see the dip in Madrigal's ISO in his age 23 season or whenever he moves to AAA/MLB. Their AA #s are vastly different though. 1994 - .057 1995 - .012 1996 - .034 1997 - .075 (21 y/o) 1998 - .101 (22 y/o) 1999 - .045 (23 y/o) 2000 - .100 (24 y/o) 2001 - .119 (25 y/o) Madrigal 2018 - .045 (21 y/o) 2019 - .111 (22 y/o) Pods at AA (360 ABs) - 217/297/292. 589 OPS Madrigal at AA (131 ABs) - 366/432/489. 920 OPS

If he's throwing 98 with that curve, look out. Coming into the season it said he sat low 90s and could reach 96.

Any chance the Sox could package Abreu, Colome, & $$$ for a Darwinzon Hernandez, Jay Groome, or Tanner Houck type?

All that needs to be known is that during the Reinsdorf era the Sox have been to the postseason 5 times. Only 3 teams have less playoff appearances than the Sox during that time frame and 2 of them didn't have a team until the 1990s. The Mariners and Rays have 4 playoff appearances. The Marlins have 2. The Brewers, Nationals, Padres, Reds, Rockies, Royals each had 5 appearances. That is some shitty company to be over the last 40 years.

lol Robert HR

I like most of it. I love the ability to trade picks. I do not like the division thing for potential pick order, seems dumb for random chance to draft a potential Moncada/Robert. I can see where going off overall record could be an issue with regards to teams tanking on purpose. It would have been nice to have the Sox get 3 top 4 picks in the International Draft the last 6 years though. If not based upon overall record (I think it should be this way) why not just have all non-playoff teams (20) be in a lottery for the top 20 picks, then seed the last 10 based off of finish in the playoffs/overall record.

Alex Destino with a 3 run HR with 2 outs in the 9th down 2-0 for Kannapolis.

His splits at AA on the road are: .403/.471/.516, .988 OPS, .113 ISO. In 16 road games at AA he has 16 runs & 10 RBI. His splits at AA at home are: .340/.400/.380, .780 OPS, .040 ISO. In 13 home games at AA he has 8 runs & 2 RBI. His ISO at A+ this year was .101. My guess is he will do fine in Charlotte. Probably hit like .320/.385/.440, .825 OPS, and with his defense and base running ability that is more than fine. I think Madrigal should finish this year in Charlotte. If he does well at Charlotte & in Spring Training and he is the best option the Sox have at 2B next year, which he most likely will be, then I think he should be our Opening Day 2B, along with Robert in CF, who should come up this August.
