Bad plays happen. Yeah.. hence why I said he better become a better defensive player.. he has no power what so ever.. .can't be a bad defensive player. I didn't say he never would be.

You guys are never going to let me forget that, are you? That was more overrating Delmon Young than anything else. I thought Young was better than he actually was. I thought Young was a .250-260/25 HR guy with a .300-310 OBP when I said that. Edited September 3, 2020 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 2 minutes ago, HahnsKiddieTable said: You can see his stuff from time to time but just not enough of it. He’s simply not a major league pitcher and at this point his confidence is just dog shit, you can see it everytime he takes the bump 100% agree and Cooper letting him ditch his curve early in his career was stupid beyond belief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPickle Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Obviously Madrigal screwed up, but Abreu has to go out and stretch to get that throw. Might have made enough of a difference to be an out. He's improved defensively this year, but is still really bad around the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think he will live up to 4th pick but many on this site have him behind Yolmer in baseball ability. He’s better than Yolmer, as at least he knows if you have no power, you better make a lot of contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also lose their curveball. They typically adopt a cutter and a slider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll hit for more average than Yolmer but otherwise they're similar. Yolmer plays better D, Madrigal makes more contact. I'm not happy right now they wasted a top 5 pick on a rich man's Yolmer Sanchez. Edited September 3, 2020 by Jack Parkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off days should allow them to hide his spot for a week or so. Not sure what you do then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you thought Young was a .250-.260/25 HR/.310 OBP guy, that isn't even in the same stratosphere of where Eloy will be. Since then he's hit the piss out of the ball and even cussed at me because you downplayed his hit tool after 160 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like pitching or hitting. As much as I can't fucking stand the guy, do you remember how many dumb plays Yolmer would make? Mr. Gold Glove? I just can't stand these self-anointed experts on a message board calling people busts or overrated after, literally, like 10-15 ML games in their young careers. New fields, new hitters, new lighting, general nerves/anxiety as a new guy...you name it, he's still adjusting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
