Lillian Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 1 minute ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Yes, to me Vaughn is the clear cut #2 prospect in this draft, but Adley has that catcher risked attached to him which always worries me. Still, I think they are clearly above the rest. You and Law present a very compelling argument. If you guys are right, I'm on the "Vaughn Train". So, here is my dream team for the 2021 Division winning Sox: SS Anderson 2B Madrigal 3B Moncada LF Eloy 1B Vaughn RF (A Left Handed Power Hitter. This lineup cannot be effective with just one LH bat. I have no idea who that would be) DH Abreu C McCann CF Robert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) Really interesting Draft post went up at FanGraphs. Very good read on some draft strategies/proclivities/trends as well as grouping up certain player archetypes and breaking down the differences of particular players that fall within them. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/introduction-to-the-2019-draft-board/ Edited May 30, 2019 by DirtySox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Some misconceptions in here IMO. Ken Williams has always been involved. He's the EVP of the organization. NIck Hostetler loves high school players. He learned under John Schuerholtz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the Sox would be foolish to pass on Vaughn in favor of Abrams. But I would absolutely take Rutschman over anyone if he's still there at #3 by some miracle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't mean to rag on him, just demonstrating that it isn't always that easy. Based on his performance in our org I think that Madrigal generally seems to have an excellent hit tool, he continues to make contact at ridiculous rates while still taking walks/working deep into accounts. His problem has been that the power tool is so weak/poorly developed that it is dragging his hit tool down with it. If it was just "poor" so far then Madrigal would be coming off as a strong bat, and if he can just get it up to "poor" then suddenly he looks like at least a big leaguer.

DirtySox Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Lol. Hostetler mentioned going to Portland Maine in today's interview during the White Sox game. That's where Trejyn Fletcher plays, who a few folks have mentioned recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
