  1. Madrigal with a BB to go with his 2B
  2. Any chance the Sox could package Abreu, Colome, & $$$ for a Darwinzon Hernandez, Jay Groome, or Tanner Houck type?
  3. All that needs to be known is that during the Reinsdorf era the Sox have been to the postseason 5 times. Only 3 teams have less playoff appearances than the Sox during that time frame and 2 of them didn't have a team until the 1990s. The Mariners and Rays have 4 playoff appearances. The Marlins have 2. The Brewers, Nationals, Padres, Reds, Rockies, Royals each had 5 appearances. That is some shitty company to be over the last 40 years.
  4. I like most of it. I love the ability to trade picks. I do not like the division thing for potential pick order, seems dumb for random chance to draft a potential Moncada/Robert. I can see where going off overall record could be an issue with regards to teams tanking on purpose. It would have been nice to have the Sox get 3 top 4 picks in the International Draft the last 6 years though. If not based upon overall record (I think it should be this way) why not just have all non-playoff teams (20) be in a lottery for the top 20 picks, then seed the last 10 based off of finish in the playoffs/overall record.
  5. Alex Destino with a 3 run HR with 2 outs in the 9th down 2-0 for Kannapolis.
  6. His splits at AA on the road are: .403/.471/.516, .988 OPS, .113 ISO. In 16 road games at AA he has 16 runs & 10 RBI. His splits at AA at home are: .340/.400/.380, .780 OPS, .040 ISO. In 13 home games at AA he has 8 runs & 2 RBI. His ISO at A+ this year was .101. My guess is he will do fine in Charlotte. Probably hit like .320/.385/.440, .825 OPS, and with his defense and base running ability that is more than fine. I think Madrigal should finish this year in Charlotte. If he does well at Charlotte & in Spring Training and he is the best option the Sox have at 2B next year, which he most likely will be, then I think he should be our Opening Day 2B, along with Robert in CF, who should come up this August.
  7. https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/prospects/stats/affiliates?date=07/15/2019 AAA - Kubat A+ - McClure A - TBD GTF - Weems AZL - TBD Bailey (17 y/o) 0/3, 2 BB. 378/523/490 1.013 OPS. 30 BB to 20 K. Yolbert Sanchez 1/5 Jefferson Mendoza (18 y/o C) 3/4, 2B. 417/517/667 1.183 OPS Johnabiel Laureano (18 y/o) 2/4, SB. 360/441/523 .964 OPS Ruben Benavides (17 y/o C) 4/5, 2B. 351/395/541 .936 OPS
  8. Per Kodi Medeiros's MILB page these are his splits this season Starter 0-8, 7.75 ERA, 40.2 IP, 57 H, 35 ER, 7 HR, 8 HBP, 26 BB, 38 K, 2.04 WHIP Reliever 3-0, 1.46 ERA, 24.2 IP, 9 H, 4 ER, 2 HR, 1 HBP, 14 BB, 25 K, 0.93 WHIP
  9. Add a BB for Madrigal after falling behind 0-2.
  10. Nice. Moncada's last 40 games .340/.390/.607, .997 OPS, 162 wRC+ 9 HR, 2 3B, 9 2B.
  11. Vaughn with a line drive single...keep him I think
  12. Recent college bats that have gone to the majors a year after being drafted: 2015 MLB Draft #1 Dansby Swanson (569 PAs in minors before coming up) #2 Alex Bregman (679 PAs in minors before coming up) #6 Andrew Benintendi (657 PAs in minors before coming up) 2014 MLB Draft #4 Kyle Schwarber (621 PAs in minors before coming up) #10 Michael Conforto (589 PAs in minors before coming up) #13 Trea Turner (871 PAs in minors before coming up) The only reason Kris Bryant didn't come up in 2014 was because of service time manipulation. Vaughn is supposed to be one of the best college hitters of all time, if he is raking in the minors and ready by the All-Star break next year then bring him up.
  13. 10th of the year. Sheets had 10 total homers in his first 2 seasons in the Sox minors in 641 ABs. This season he has 10 in 282 ABs.
  14. He then gets to 3rd on a throwing error by the pitcher on a pick off attempt.
  15. Madrigal with a single and BB already.
  16. at the 1/2 way point of the 2019 season Yoan Moncada is on pace for a 5.6 fWAR season.
  17. I was thinking realistically he could be more along the lines of Dustin Pedroia's 2007, 2013, & 2014 seasons with better base running and fewer K's. Pedroia was a 3.7, 4.9, and 3.8 fWAR player those seasons while never hitting more than 9 HRs in a season, with an ISO between .098 and .125, a BB rate between 8.1 and 10.1%, and a BABIP between .307 and .333.
