I’d wager Meidroth swings less than any player in baseball whereas Madrigal’s game was make contact at all costs. Expand Exactly. Madrigal didn't strikeout because he would weakly make contact with everything and groundout. He wasn't actually good at drawing walks. Meidroth doesn't swing at s%*# and actually draw walks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleAleSox Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I don’t think the White Sox will play as bad as a game as the Red Sox did all year. They looked awful. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just something White Sox fans haven’t been exposed to much during the past regime, but it’s super enjoyable to finally watch a player who regularly makes smart swing decisions. Expand Legit impressed with his plate discipline. Refreshing to see in a big league debut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His plate discipline proved that out tonight. Will be interesting to see him eventually nut a homer, but my guess is that it will be earlier in an at bat.

Expand Sure he probably had 1st hand knowledge but Sox prepare for the Rule 5 which means everyone involved in decision making on players reads various reports and gets scouting info .

Expand This could have come from your twin at Brewersfanatic.com "Teams do have scouts watching velocity, command, secondary offerings in the Southern League and there is advanced tracking technology there too. Every team is going to have their list of the top 300-500 prospects with scouting reports, maybe even more minor league players than that. With the scarcity of starting pitching it is obvious if any other team in the major leagues had an inkling that after 157 minor league innings and just 6 AAA innings, Shane Smith was ready to step into a big league rotation and get batters out, they would have tried to acquire him from Milwaukee. The other reality lost in the hindsight is, even if the Brewers had added Smith to the Brewers 40 man roster. If Hall, Ashby. Myers etc. had stayed healthy in Camp, Smith almost assuredly would’ve been one of the first reassignments to the minor league side. Who knows, maybe Shane Smith will be the pitching version of Albert Pujols coming from nowhere to the HOF seemingly overnight, but so far it’s 2 games and 11+ innings."
