Eminor3rd Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 21 hours ago, [email protected] said: I don't see any bat wrap with him, basically a classic "knob to catchers feet" launch position when he lands on his stride foot. I wouldn't mind madrigal. Seems to be a polished hitter, decent defender at second who could play short in a pinch (albeit not really every day probably) and with the mlb ball and some more pounds he probably could hit 15-20 hr. There might be higher upside guys but he is probably the safest guy and there also is an outside chance he become kinda like altuve. Everything I've seen says he'll be an easy plus defender at second, and the only thing keeping him from SS is questions about arm strength.

I would think that if he fell to us, it would be for medical reasons, meaning we should be concerned about drafting him there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far with guys that fell to us as starting pitchers with injury concerns high in the first round, I think we've seemed to be ok with the risk, and honestly it hasn't worked out poorly even with Rodon.

southsider2k5 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 At this point, even if we are talking about pending TJS on Mize, I would probably still take him if he fell to #4, especially if he were willing to deal because of the injury. The only reason I would be willing to pass if he still wanted 1-1 money, or if the problem was a shoulder surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 My chips are basically all on Madrigal. I will fight for the "don't worry about Bohm's size" stuff, and coming around to Bart, but if he's picked before sox I'll be pretty bummed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Guys. I think I really want a Nick Madrigal. I hope my heart isn't broken on June 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikk85 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 5 hours ago, Chicago White Sox said: Or you try to take advantage of the draft's depth and go with the best under-slot option at #4. That's where I'm leaning if possible. I don't like that really. The draft is deep but not like 2 full rounds deep. Now if the sox had their second pick in the early 20s I would be totally on board with the deal but the sox second pick is at 46 and the royals and rays will have multiple comp picks before the sox pick second. Those two teams will really dominate the early second round and at 46 not much talent might be left especially since it seems to get rarer that top talent slides than it was 10 years ago. In their situation the sox should definitely go BPA and not spin a deal and hope that the royals and rays don't completely dominate the signability guys market.

Jack Parkman Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I wouldn't mind, in the event that Mize falls to 4, for the Sox to just take him and if the medicals dont check out defer to #5 next year. Worth the gamble IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks credible enough, but even if its real it could be the team trying to create uncertainty for Mize so the team gets some sort of negotiating leverage.

This just screams White Sox to me. Oh, he's also conveniently ranked 46 on BA's top 500. Wow, harder to find a more perfect fit for the Sox, you're right.

I really wanted Haseley or Beck, then Peterson. Haseley and Beck went before the Sox pick. Peterson dropped down to the Mets at #20. Peterson has done pretty well in A-ball so far, but nothing special. Beck has held his own so far, Haseley has been underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautox Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Sporting News latest mock Quote No. 4 Chicago White Sox — Nick Madrigal, 2B, Oregon State Standing only 5-8 and 160 pounds, Madrigal may not look the part of a top-five pick in the draft — but he hits like one. Though he missed roughly half of this season with a broken wrist, Madrigal is hitting .438 for the Beavers in 21 games and has returned, fully healthy, in time for their postseason push. Scouts love the way he plays the game and his overall baseball IQ, comparing him to a young Dustin Pedroia. He may not hit for as much power as the Red Sox star, but he gets on base a lot thanks to a developed approach at the plate that has allowed him to walk more than he has struck out in all three of his collegiate seasons. Look for Madrigal to be the first hitter off the board in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) New Law Mock Draft Tigers - Mize Giants - Bart Phillies - Bohm Quote 4. Chicago White Sox: Nick Madrigal, SS, Oregon State Any of the three players ahead could go here if they fall. I haven't heard the White Sox on prep guys at this pick. Law also notes that Madigal is not in play with Giants or Phillies. So looks like he will be available at 4 at this point.

Insane how Madrigal is clearly the top bat This is reminiscent of how Aiken and Kolek went before Rodon or how Dillon Tate went before Fulmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
