If the Sox want to trade Madrigal it won't be difficult to do. Has he flashed any baseball instinct that he needs to make up for lack of power? Nope 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope I agree with you but he's also played the equivalent of 1 months worth of games in the majors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 At some point, we're going to have to stop saying 'he is still early in his career, he'll get more comfortable and his defense will be fine' Eventually, you may have to accept, what you see happen time and time again, is what you're going to get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it broken or just never that good? His arm strength is bad and he’s not very quick to either side. The errors are mistakes that happen, but it’s not like he’s making a lot of incredible plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Rodon already at 20+ pitches in the first inning and climbing. One of his numerous issues that really hasn't changed much from the moment he was drafted. Guess we focused on the wrong player there, Trea Turner has been much more valuable. That said, look at what has happened with Aiken and Kolek, not to mention Schwarber. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
