Chisox378 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 My answer is....yes! His numbers show that he is ready for the MLB level already(minors stats show 51 bb, to 21 k's with a .309 average and .377 obp.) He also won a Gold Glove. He can be placed as the leadoff hitter or even better.... the #2 spot. This can open up Danny Mendick to an outfield position. My idea is to sign Billy Hamilton to play CF and leadoff with Madrigal in the 2 hole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert obviously needs to prove himself more! Madrigal though is ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Yeah, let's sign a guy who can't hit a baseball to start in place of a guy who should be one of the best hitters on the team next season. Otherwise, Madrigal may be ready for opening day, but I don't think he starts with the team. He'll come up mid-season...maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we see games with Madrigal and Robert after the initial couple weeks. They'll both be up for good by late April, barring injury.

He will undoubtedly start at #9 but like you...I think #2 is his future batting order placement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, that would be insane! We’re talking about less than 20 games most likely folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Madrigal hits over .300 in the spring and continues to walk and not strikeout then he should play opening day. Forget the money, we want the wins and to show the AL Central we are serious about winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
