Guy is ready for the league in under 2 years, has been a top 50 prospect consensus, and people are saying we should have drafted kelenic. Smh. Yeah i know how dare someone have a different opinion than ray. Smh. I agree with you by the way . Just saying. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you by the way . Just saying. Sox I have zero problem with people not liking Madrigal, but to argue hes a bad pick while all hes done is live up to his pick so far seems odd. How can some argue they should have drafted someone else when no one has played in the league and madrigal is the closest to it and hes a consensus top prospect? It also makes no sense saying madrigal will be a long time big leaguer and contributor but was bad pick at 4. That would be a success at 4 based on the expected outcome of the fourth pick. I've said this many times but people really seem to overrate mlb draft picks; implying the expected outcome of the 4th pick is a game changing superstar is just absurd.

It’s not that crazy of a take to say we should of drafted Kelenic over Madrigal with the benefit of hindsight. And that doesn’t mean Madrigal is a bad pick, it’s just saying we probably didn’t draft the best player that was available to us at #4.

Bart and Bohm you could argue have been worse than madrigal easily. Edited July 5, 2020 by Look at Ray Ray Run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another guy with a wife and young child. I will say as much as I loathe Manfred he's actually handled this better than Silver from a players' perspective.

The fact he’s three years younger, is already a higher regarded prospect, and has a legit super-star type ceiling. I really like Madrigal and he gives us a skillset we really need, but Kelenic has a chance to be the guy we all look back on in that draft and wonder why we passed on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I really don’t blame any player for opting out this season. There is no excuse flimsy enough to question it. There are a lot of players who really don’t need the money. if you had that kind of coin and where told you don’t have to work until next year if you were uncomfortable with the safety of the whole thing, I think many of us would opt out. I hope they get this “season” in. But they are going to have to get through a pretty difficult obstacle course to make it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Madrigal and he gives us a skillset we really need, but Kelenic has a chance to be the guy we all look back on in that draft and wonder why we passed on him. He also has a chance to regress and loss quite a bit of luster. He had one meteoric rise through the minors. Let's see him do it above A+ now for a larger sample. Regardless there's no way without hindsight you pick Kelenic over Madrigal in that spot. Even with hindsight I'm still on the Madrigal train. I am skeptical that Kelenic is a MLB CF and that he'll ever hit much over 260. @Dick Allen agree 100%. Can't blame them, especially the veterans.

Moncada has been in Northwest Indiana the past week and went to a local bar around here on Wednesday that is generally considered a pretty sketchy place, so I'm strongly inclined to believe they would not require masks or attract the type of people who would.

I have lived in the Chicago area my whole life and had never known The Michigan City area was a huge vacation place until about 10 years ago. A guy I worked with owned a place there he rented out. He had an ad on Craigslist and used Our department’s phone number. He had to get at least 20 calls a day. Up until then , the thing I knew Michigan City for was the snow belt Edited July 5, 2020 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
