Squirmin' for Yermin Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Agreed. Put Moncada back at 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalChiSox Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I'd bat Mercedes 4th, as regardless of platoon issues, he's clearly our best power guy right now, even against righties. Moncada should be back at 2 I agree. Grandal 5. Robert 6. Eaton 7. Vaughn 8 and Madrigal 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourWhatHurts Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Lineup should be: Anderson SS Eaton RF Yermin DH Abreu 1B Grandal C Moncada 3B Robert CF Vaughn LF Mendick 2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you're in the Majors, draft position doesn't matter anymore. That’s why he’s never made a major league roster as a starter? He’s really not. Madrigal played less 60 games and sure as hell has a higher ceiling than mendick. Real meatball takes on madrigal this season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madrigal played less 60 games and sure as hell has a higher ceiling than mendick. Real meatball takes on madrigal this season. The reason Madrigal is just handed the starting 2B instead of having to "battle" Danny Mendick for it in ST, is the same reason Yermin sat in AAA while the Sox ran AJ Reed out there, and also the same reason the Sox ran Nomore Mazzara out there over Adam Engel: draft position-based "pedigree." IMO, Danny Mendick is a more versatile defender with a better arm who is overall a smarter player, with substantially more power than Madrigal. Madrigal has contact on him, that's really it. If you just looked at both of these players for the first time knowing nothing about either of them beforehand, you would be shocked to learn both of these two things: 1) one of these players was drafted 652nd overall; and 2) one of these players was drafted 4th overall.

Baseball people make mistakes constantly. And not all "baseball people" love Madrigal, he has plenty of detractors in the scouting community.
