2019 Line for Madrigal .303/.372/.398 .770 OPS .095 ISO .302 BABIP 24 BB (8.03%) 7 K (2.34%) 264 ABs 26 SBs 8 CS 98.95 Fielding %

He's only 24. It's a knee injury this time, not another UCL injury.

My numbers have Glass at signing for $200K as reported on the 1st page of this thread. If Glass did sign for $200K, then the Sox have $102,575 after signing Freeman for Trenkle, Krogrman, Britt, and Flood.

Sox should have $127,525 left to offer over slot to anyone not signed in rounds 11-40.

Robert 3/3

Would that be the cause of the injury delay?

Robert lead off single. Injury delay in game after the play.

Sheets grand slam

I came up with $2,127,575.00 with factoring in the 5% overage. Not sure if that is fully correct or not.

I would love for the Sox to flip Colome for Carlson. On top of the fielding grades you listed and being a switch hitter, he has had over a 10% BB Rate, K Rate around 18% the last 2 seasons, ISO over .200 in AA as a 20 year old, 129 wRC+. That would potentially fix the RF hole the Sox have. Sox Potential 2021 Lineup CF - Robert (R) 3B - Moncada (S) LF - Eloy (R) 1B/DH - Vaughn (R) C - McCann (R) or FA C/DH/1B - Collins (L) SS - TA (R) 2B - Madrigal (R) RF - Carlson (S)

You forgot TA (on his way to a 4 fWAR season, with 24 HRs and 33 SBs) and Vaughn (best college hitter in draft). Collins hitting 7th with an OB% around .350 would be sweet. Just need a solid RF and C (McCann?) for the future. The Sox are going to be so fun to watch over the 2020s.

Madrigal with another BB.

Boom Collins!

Love it. Benetti throwing shade after the HR, saying thanks Cubs. Then when Baez flies out, saying not everyone can not square up a ball and hit it out.

FYI Collins MiLB career splits are vs. RHP .247/.396/.463, .859 OPS, .216 ISO, 19.94 BB%, 27.78 K%, .326 BABIP. 201 BB, 280 K. 38 HR. 49 2B. 4 3B. 133 RBI. 793 AB. vs. LHP .200/.330/.356, .686 OPS, .156 ISO, 15.83 BB%, 32.69 K%, .281 BABIP. 56 BB, 119 K. 11 HR. 11 2B. 1 3B. 45 RBI. 295 AB. I think Collins will do just fine against RHP.

Eloy's still only 22 and playing his first 46 games in MLB, all while getting hurt. In 24 games since coming back from the IL he has a 264/319/585 line. Since coming back from injury that's a .905 OPS, with a .322 ISO. wRC+ at 137. He averages a HR once every 15.45 ABs this season. Over 600 ABs that would come out to around 39 HRs. Again from a 22 year old rookie. If he stays healthy he's got a pretty decent chance to get to 30 HRs as a rookie, which has only been done 28 times in MLB history (since 1871). Since 2000 a rookie has hit at least 30 HRs 7 times. Those players are Trout, Judge, Pujols, Abreu, Braun, Bellinger, and Chris Young. Pretty good company. If he gets to 500 ABs this season, he would be on pace to hit 32.5 HRs. As for Collins, even if he K's a ton he is going to get on base. In every MILB stop where he had over 100 PAs, he has never had an OB% below .365. In AA and AAA it's been .422 and .382 over the last 182 games. Castillo with the Sox had a .304 OB% last year and currently has a .289 OB%. Zavala in AAA has had a .267 and .282 OB% that last 2 seasons.

Castillo hurt lower back in game today, is he coming up?

MLB Network had a lot on both Eloy and Gio. They went on about Gio putting himself in line to start the ASG, with I believe Plesac saying he’s been the best pitcher in MLB the last 2 months. They even went on about Gio’s change, which Plesac said was the best in the game currently, he called it a Bugs Bunny pitch.

2020 Sox team in July (Please note I do NOT expect the Sox to sign either Rendon or Cole, but man would that be a fun team to watch 12 months from now) Total Guaranteed $ currently from 2019 Players $17.58 Dead Money ($2.75) Alonso - $1 Castillo - $0.5 Jones - $1.25 Starters (Guaranteed $6.33 from current players) C - McCann (last year of Arb, made $2.5 this year) 1B - Collins (Pre-Arb) 2B - Madrigal (Pre-Arb) SS - Anderson ($4) 3B - Rendon (Sign to 6 year $195, front load first 3 years for $135, last 3 for $60 ) LF - Eloy ($2.33) CF - Robert (Pre-Arb) RF - Moncada (Pre-Arb) DH - Palka (to be replaced by Vaughn when he's ready, 1B/DH rotation of McCann, Collins, Zavala, and Vaughn) Bench C/1B/DH - Zavala (Pre-Arb) (C platoon of McCann, Zavala, Collins) Util - Leury (last year of Arb., made $1.55 this year) Util - Y.

I wasn't trying to point it out to say he's been unlucky, just merely pointing out that he's a .300 hitter with a .777 OPS with a BABIP that is easily maintainable.

You will also have the players who have been derailed due to injuries: Adolfo, Burdi, Burger, Dunning, Hansen.
