I have a problem with the Sox going with Madrigal/Vaughn over the last two drafts where they were picking. Those guys should be picked in the 8-12 range, not top 4. Both guys have too many limits for where they were picked. Not that they both can't be good players, but Madrigal's ceiling is Placido Polanco and that's too low for a top 4 pick. I also disagreed with picking a 1B/DH top 3, but another FO in the division picked a 1B/DH #1 so I can't complain. Imagine how we'd feel right now had they gone with Kelenic and Abrams. In contrast, I absolutely love what they did with Crochet at 11 because that's the type of risk/reward pick you make at that point in the draft.

I like Madrigal. He’s going to be a winning player. Nobody thought he had the highest upside. Quite frankly, the Sox took him when their brains were all in on Manny Machado. Made sense.

caulfield12 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Way too many opportunities to put away this game wasted. Need Cordero to get a big out here or the Royals will be right back in the game with momentum on their side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
