caulfield12 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 But Madrigal played all the way through the College World Series...Vaughn's last game was June 1st, so that would be four weeks without seeing legit pitching. "Ever since the Draft, I tried to stay focused with our college season and let that play out first," Madrigal told reporters during a conference call. "I was excited just to put the White Sox logo on, get in uniform. "I really don't need a whole lot of break. I've been playing all season long. I told them I only needed a couple of days to swing a wood bat, get used to it. I'm ready to go and just excited to move forward." Madrigal, 21, batted .367/.428/.511 with eight doubles, six triples, three home runs, 34 RBIs, 41 runs scored and 15 stolen bases in 42 games as a junior in 2018 for the Beavers. The 5-foot-7, 165-pound second baseman, who bats right-handed, will play a couple of games at shortstop in Arizona before moving to Class A Kannapolis. Arizona should be his first destination since it’s closest to California and then they’ll decide after a week about short season ball or Kanny based on how rusty he looks.

KnightsOnMintSt Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 According to Scott Gregor, Vaughn will most likely start in Arizona, then head to Kannapolis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the guy is a generational hitter, he shouldn't spend a day in Kanny. A few days in Arizona then straight to W-S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madrigal and Robert spent some time there as well last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best hitter in college in a long time. 21 years old. He should be asked to do more than 19 year old Bryce Bush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every reason to expect that his Kanny stint will be short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I thought I saw a tweet where he's expected to wind up in Arizona in a week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Wonder when they’re gonna trot him out around Comiskey / Sox Park / The Cell / Downarrow for an introduction, BP, and an interview. Anyone see anything about this yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
