Dominikk85 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) 3 hours ago, Harper2Sox said: Not exactly tough competition but let’s let the 25 year old Mendick try to figure out AAA pitching well enough to hit over .255 there. To be fair his k to bb ratio looks better than that, some bad luck with babip was probably involved. However you need to consider that maybe his batted ball profile is conductive to low babips. Everything is pulled, lots of fly balls and a lot of pop ups too. Brian dozier and jose Bautista had a similar profile. It is good to maximize your raw power but hurts the average. That is the issue with him, he has some pop but maybe not enough to make this very polarized pull flyball profile work. I mean Bautista was great despite consistently posting sub 270 babips but he also hit tons of homers and walked a ton. With 30 homers the profile is great with 15 not so much.

Jake Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Moving Moncada to 3B was a tell that the Sox think Madrigal will be up soon. Maybe not this season, but they clearly don't think it will be much longer than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Nope. And I'm bullish on Madrigal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I don't expect him to get called up this year but I honestly would not be surprised if he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did it change to the magician? I don't remember deciding on a nickname. @ChiliIrishHammock24 is the official nicknamer of soxtalk, and he didn't declare it yet.

NorthSideSox72 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 That nickname should be dragged out into the street and shot. Also I'd guess he comes up in 2020. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Realistically, if anyone was going to get rushed, it was going to be Eloy. The dude hit at every single level he was at. He was slowed. Madrigal will start off in A ball this year. Three levels in one year is insane for a hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zisk Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 his nickname should be Mags2. He'll be up by June 1st if he's playing well. Cease will be up by then as well. White Sox will do this to spur interest in a lousy team. Cease will be able to handle it. I don't know if Mags2 can. If he does OK, then 2020 will be fun.

TheTruth05 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Not to mention Baez up north goes by "El mago", spanish for "The magician". Madrigal deserves something a bit more unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) I’ll call him Nick, but if I get all basebally, it’ll probably be Madge or Madgey. Edited March 21, 2019 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
