But, I feel reasonably convinced that had we drafted Kelenic he would be playing for a different org right now but we'd have a pretty amazing player in return. Not like the mets. What makes you think we would have traded him and what type of trade do you think we could have explored? Curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35thstreetswarm Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 It's WAY too early to bury Kelenic. But I like what Nick brings to this team, and that he brings it right now when we need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious. I'd imagine they'd have tried to get another TOR starter for him. Who I have no idea. That said, I think Kelenic's value might have peaked this offseason. He's not a top 10 prospect in MLB as a mediocre corner OF, his hit tool has been exposed and the power was never more than 55 or so FV which just doesn't play as good in the corners.

Harold's Leg Lift Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 He's stopping the shimmy sooner. Good. He had too much pre-pitch movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikk85 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 I think his struggle was a bit of bad luck too. He struck out too much at 28% but his swstr rate was more indicative of around a 20% k rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, he can hit 20-25 MiLB ones but he still has to prove himself in Seattle still and the skeptics will be waiting to pounce.

They can call Jarred back up in July, and if he plays 61 more games, will have played more games than Nick Madrigal's entire career, with I believe two additional years of service time remaining under the current CBA since Jarred will be less than 1 year, with Nick at 2 years even though he was healthy enough to only play 83 games. Still skeptical whether Mr. 3000 will remain healthy and productive enough to bat 3,000 times in the major leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many here think "Nicky Two Strikes" (TM Benetti) is a lineup fixture for years/a decade plus. The board was also near unanimous Grandal would continue to catch 120 + games a season, in his mid 30s, when the Sox had no intention to do so slotting him with 3 of the 5 starters this season for just over 100 games, prior to his latest injury.

Man you are so happy Madrigal got hurt arent you? What a sad person you are. Anybody on the Sox is liable to have career altering injuries and there are plenty that show they have trouble staying healthy. Your smugness about his injury isn't a good look at all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the fuck did I say I was happy? Quote skeptical whether Mr. 3000 will remain healthy and productive enough to bat 3,000 times in the major leagues. I would be happy if he could stay healthy enough to contribute to the team while he still has the ability to retain his high contact rates. Just don’t believe it’s a skill that will last as he ages, that he has the frame to remain healthy long term, or that he should be bragging about 3,000 hits, which he was mocked by teammates, at this stage of his career. I was as happy watching Madrigal go down as I am reading your garbage posts and your baseless attacks.

caulfield12 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Pretty incredible. Something like 3 for his last 51. Ventura started out similarly, but he’s still barely clearing the .100 mark after his recent recall. Not sure what’s the craziest, the M’s being where they are without Paxton, Kelenic and Kyle Lewis, not to mention Trammell, doing much of anything.
