Its  tough to trade that up the middle power. Plus Madrigal is considered a pick that is near MLB ready. No more than 2 years.

Eh, I'm just not at all worried.  You can never have too many good players.   I don't really care too much about power at 3B if the 3B is playing +15 runs defensively and is getting on base at a 380 clip.  And it's not like he won't have his share of doubles and triples.  Ideally he slashes something like 300/380/470 in his prime -- rich man's Dee Gordon.

Agreed, I would love to see the Sox be able to use all 3. Just curious as to how it may work as I havent seen 3B reports on Madrigal. I dont know if he can slug 470 though.

The Astros have so many guys who are DH/1B types already....Gattis, McCann, JD Davis, Tyler White, Gurriel...but why not go for it?

Much better risk than the Cubs took with Schwarber at #4, although that's still worked out okay for them.

And how many of those guys will be around when/if Beer is ready? Probably 0.

Edit: maybe 2

I get why they want it to be a spectical but man do I miss the conference call, the entire draft would be over by the end of the work day. I just wish the coverage was better because it's currently shit. There's nothing interesting about any of this except for the actual selections.

Well all that talk of him going 4 was probably because they're on him in the 2nd...

Yeah, if it’s going to be this long, just do the 30 picks tonight, and the rest tomorrow.

I wonder if we're floating him or just hoping he is still there. How quickly do we usually find out signing bonuses for top guys?

I can definitely see that.

All day I kept thinking I wish the draft was going on during work like the old days.
