Why does Nishida not get any attention?  .415 OBP, 34 stolen bases in half a season?   Left handed hitter.   2023 draft pick...yet I don't see him on White Sox top 30 prospects.  Rarely mentioned here.  Is his age his fatal flaw?

Nishida is such an unorthodox player, I am not sure anyone knows what to make of him. It’s little to no power. He is passive at the plate and not a great defender. But he takes amazing at bats, forces pitchers to work more than anyone else in A ball, and is an excellent base runner. I mean, a poor man’s Steven Kwan? Not really because the power is at least a grade lower. He’s an interesting guy, but he’s gonna have to prove it at higher levels before he gets a lot of attention.

So what we dreamed Madrigal was going to be?  How is Jordan Sprinkle blocking him at high A?

There’s a logjam at W-S in both left and 2b. Sprinkle is a glove-first ss, so he’s not blocking Nishida. They just moved Camilletti up, so maybe Nishida gets a shot, but Chapelli is also blocking him.

With the new limits on Stateside players, it has become a brutal business. You gotta show something right away or teams can’t roster you. Hernandez has been a hell of a disappointment. I think Paddy probably needs to go.
