We used to be able to skip the Home half inning to catch a bite or do something when the middle and bottom of our Order was due up. Now, you don't want to miss anything because there is a good a chance to see hits, home runs and scoring in every inning. That must be absolutely dreadful for opposing pitchers. The other thing is that our hitters are being patient at the plate. They aren't just hitting home runs but are covering the plate when there is two strikes on them and getting clutch hits. It's really been a pleasure to watch so far. Not much to not like about our 2020 White Sox.

Madrigal is more valuable to a team that doesn't need power from its second basemen. That's the Sox right now. We are loaded with power up and down the line-up. Mazara is another guy that is going to hit 20+ bombs every year.

Leury had some early errors, but that was not surprising given that he has been playing all over the field. Just leave him at second when TA comes back. His bat at the bottom of the order has been a revelation with homers from both sides of the plate and a couple of multi-hit games. Madrigal was an effective hitter in college using an aluminum bat. I wonder what the average exit velocity off Madrigal's wood bat is now ? That would be an objective parameter to consider in some of these discussions.

I was posting about the last several Draft picks....in totality. I think Madrigal is still an unproven commodity as is Vaughn. Speaking of Vaughn, I hated the Sox passing up Ed Howard and taking Vaughn. I don't see how Vaughn can do anything but DH and I do not see why any team would use a high first round pick for a DH.

Fulmer, Burgur, Madrigal and Vaughn....Maybe the Sox should focus on the International talent pool.

Collins will now miss the narrow window of opportunity to be a starting catcher with the contract to Grandal. It might be best for Collins career if they trade him. He could start on some other teams. I am anxious to see how Vaughn will develop defensively at first and how he will hit in the minors next year.

Vaughn is the best hitter? In college perhaps.

I love having Mercedes to pinch hit late in games where you need one big hit to stay in it.

Love it !

IMO, Eloy will be serviceable in LF if he loses some weight and gets in better shape. Weight loss and conditioning served Avi Garcia pretty well after he planted himself like a lawn dart and injured himself. Eloy looked like he was in a lot batter shape a few years ago. Although he was still doing some stupid shit. Vaughn might be OK playing defense at first, but that has not been evident thus far. Obviously he is not the prototypical tall 1st baseman with a long reach but maybe he can master the position by next season or the year after.

It might be a better idea to extend McCann, trade Grandal and go with McCann and Collins. Hard for people to admit they were wring though..

Only 2 games under .500 IF we win tonight. Bring up Mazara, Madrigal, Yermin , and Dunning. As Garfein suggested, move up Robert to #3 in the order. McCann, Eloy, Moncada, TA and Heuer have been awesome.

I would have preferred to have punted on Grandal and went with All-Star McCann and prospect Collins at catcher and spent the money on another quality starter. At this point any trade depends on what another team wants in exchange for a proven starting pitcher. This is not a popular opinion, but I would not take any of our prospects off the table if they can coax a trade for a decent, durable starter from another team.

Send Goins, Delmonico and Collins down. Bring Madrigal, Mazara and Yermin up.

Rodon is settling down. Keep hope ....for a few innings.

wut?

Yeah, let's trade our best catcher, an All-Star last year, and keep fuking Collins. LOL.

Collins as a pinch hitter? Should have brought up Yermin. We do not need three catchers dude.

back at you

McCann?

Collins sucks

Mazara and Madrigal need to get here.

Madrigal can't hit home runs but you would have liked his chances to hit a single in that situation. Instead we have Leury and Collins.

Ballgame

Take.
