GreatScott82 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Looks like Machado will land in SD. Although, the MLB network radio people keep saying the Yankees will somehow jump in and get him. Sounds like the White Sox are slipping away from both Machado and Harper from all recent reports. Not good. It will be yet another offseason of false hope and disappointment for us White Sox fans. The thought of a full season of Moncada at 3B is frightening. If he played sub-par defense at a much easier 2B position, how can we expect him to perform well at the hot corner? #WorriedSoxFanHere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest extending your vacation until he signs, don’t think it happens for a couple more weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mqr Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Also Merk and Fegan left out quite a bit of context in their original tweets. Merk is now following up saying ricky said "He's been working there, we'll play him there when we can during the spring and go from there." Paraphrasing a touch.

And IF it were posturing, then they just wasted a day where he could've been working at second. They can't be stupid enough to do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not Machado signs does not mean you need to move your very important part of the rebuild to 3rd and *downgrade* him to accommodate a guy that may *may* be a supersub on a contending team. Because it's the White Sox and they are going to rush Madrigal up as fast as they can because that's a White Sox thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way to find that out is by consistently playing him right now in spring training....all this is doing is seeing where the great Madrigal could possibly fit in He does have a polished bat and think he'll blaze through the minors. April 2020 is kind of my expectation at this point. I'm aggressive on that stance though. I'm hoping to see him in AAA by ASB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofaRoache Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Funny, some poster told me 20 times that the Padres only got in the race because the price was soooooo low. Now they have allegedly have the highest offer. Waiting out players leads to teams having time to figure stuff out with their budget. We made the right move by waiting, but now we may need to deal the deal with an offer that can't be refused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make sense to have Moncada be able to play both 2B and 3B with Davidson gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, until he does something higher up he’s just another Sox prospect that I don’t have much hope for right now. No need to sharpie him in as the starter when we don’t have the best track record of identifying MLB level bats in the draft Edited February 18, 2019 by beckham15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
