Get it kid. I still have faith.

I'm skeptical but hopeful. I'm disappointed in his hit tool so far, which was supposed to be a 65-70. It's looking more like a 55 which is not good for someone with his lack of power. That being said, it could be that he's just had a slow start in his first full pro season, but I really wish he was hitting >.330 in A+. 

I hope that Gonzalez and Rutherford are only having slow starts as well.

Escobar not in the lineup. Maybe a combination of Anderson's injury and Rondon not good enough to be a major league bench player.

Alcides Escobar starting games for the White Sox would be remarkably efficient in making me not watch any games

I think you've made it clear that when it comes to Madrigal you are one of the least hopeful people here.

I've decided that it does no good to be that negative. I want the Sox to win. If Madrigal is good it helps them win. It does me no good as a fan to be negative about him. Am I a huge fan of him as a prospect? Not anymore. However I want him to be good because it is good for the Sox if he is. That's why I've altered my stance on Madrigal and Collins from "I think they suck" to "I hope they're good, I'm not counting on them but we'll wait and see"

what could be the case that Collins sucks. you have to be looking for the negatives to say that.

The hit tool is extremely questionable, and it is the most important one. I really wish that the Sox would look for position players with a decent hit tool and then look at other things. Power, Speed and even walks can be neutralized if a hitter struggles to put the bat on the ball. 

That being said, there are a other things to like about his game, most notably power and patience.
