Bananarchy Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The draft thread is kind of hard to follow with intermittent NM reaction and draft action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananarchy Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Just now, Jose Abreu said: Then why aren't we talking about moving Madrigal, who was announced as a SS? Why not try him in LF or something? Honestly, because he has more value at SS. You wait as long as you can to move him to maximize his value.

he gone. Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) He's got what? 1.5 years in the minors at the least? So 2020 at the earliest? Let him, Burger and whoever else play down at the minors for 1.5 years and meanwhile we'll have a pretty clear picture by then of what exactly Anderson is and will be as well as Moncada. Outside of Burger all the guys can play other positions pretty easily. So if that means Madrigal 2b or ss... Anderson at ss, 3b, or OF, and moncada at 2b or 3b so be it. We'll figure it out. At the very worst (best) you have what the Cubs have -- you have Zobrist, Baez, Happ, Russell, Bryant, etc. all moving in and out of the infield and LF, etc. I mean look at the Brewers this year -- people were like where you going to play Santana, Braun, Yelich, Thames, etc. etc. and Counsell just said there will be injuries that happen and off days etc. And guess what? It happened exactly like that. Also people like Santana all of a sudden have an off year after a great year last year. I don't have a problem at all. Let it all play out. At the worst you have some guys DH, play LF, CF, etc for a day or two a week. There are enough AB's to go around.

Dam8610 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 1 hour ago, Tony said: They took probably the best pure hitter in the draft. Could be a top of the order mainstay for years. Or he could be Beckham. Not likely to be Beckham, he has the bat speed to get to fastballs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrathofhahn Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Another college guy yay. Why not take a more upside guy in Groshans or Stewart? Instead we draft yet another flawed college player. Don't get me wrong I like Madrigal but he's a midget. He'll never hit for any power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxnfins Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hahn growing out the stress beard I see. Love this pick. It was either him or Kelenic for me (impartial to WI, also Gavin Lux went to my brothers HS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 So where does he start? I’m sure he’ll get a token few games at Great Falls, but will he go to Kannapolis or Winston-Salem after that? The IF situation is actually pretty crowded for both clubs. He’ll obviously take precedent over all those guys, but just not sure how aggressive they’ll be with him this year.

You don't move fringe guys over your top stud unless the sox really like Laz Rivera that I somehow missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, I'd be shocked if he doesn't get a token of playing time in AA before the year is up. Hit tool is that advanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) I'm 100% in favor of W-S. I hate that we draft advanced college hitters and leave them in the low minors for entire seasons. Edited June 5, 2018 by mac9001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Good points all around. And let’s be honest, he’s going to start 2019 in AA so it does make sense for him to spend some in Winston-Salem this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I honestly think Hostetler may have had him slotted 1-1 based on his retelling of his meeting with Madrigal. Comparing him to India will be fun to witness in the coming years. I’m happy. This is our spark plug for 2020 and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
