RagahRagah Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 La Stella seems a perfect fit and is also a realistic get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capital G Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 If we land him and SP (any at this point that just costs $ (kubler, Richards, Q) I would be ecstatic. I don't even care about a back up C. Let Collins play there and DH while La Stella plays all over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do that and lock up Gio and extend Lynn you literally have a championship roster locked for 3-4 years without many moving parts at all. Albeit a costly one...but the money is being spent! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaStella in does not have to mean Madrigal out. He's still pre-arb so keep him for depth. Is he good enough at SS to play there for a while if Anderson gets hurt?

I think scouting departments have him viewed that way. Analytics departments may have him higher because they would value the contact rate higher.

he gone. Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Man, I am so torn about Madrigal. The analytics guy in me knows getting Castillo, Gray, or Woodruff greatly enhances our chances of winning a world series over Madrigal. It squarely puts us in the Dodgers/Padres/Braves/Yankees category (probably above Yankees). I completely understand that Madrigal in today's game doesn't really add as much value as it would seem - HOWEVER god damnit i love madrigal. he's the everyday guy grinding, the small guy against the odds, slapping the ball around the field, playing old school. he just embodies the white sox and the south side. grinding out at-bats, putting the bat on the ball. he's a thousand cliches rolled into one fat cigar. and i like smoking that cigar and want to see him on the sox for the next 10 years. I want that feeling when he gets up with two outs and nobody on that the inning isn't over.. that he's going to be able to knock a single and turn that lineup over to anderson who can double him home or another single that leads to Moncada/Abreu/Eloy/Robert. There's just not another carbon copy of Madrigal out there. he's a special throwback guy and i want that on my team. That being said i get that mednick can pick up slack ... that lastella can do that too & our team is probably better with a rotation of Giolito, Keuchel, Gray, Lynn, Kopech, Cease and knowing that you have those guys at reasonable prices for a bit too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need someone to start for a long period of time, it would probably be Leury or they call up Beckham, who actually still needs to serve some of his suspension from 2 seasons ago (he wasn't with a team last year).
