Sorry DirtySox, your dream is OVAH.

Roberts to Cardinals. 

Aw. There goes my guy.

I will be less crushed if Alek Thomas is the selection.

@DirtySoxI feel for you brother. At least he'll get to kick the Cubs ass.

There goes Roberts. Guess he won't stick around for RD 3.

And once again, the Cardinals win at everything.

Bernard Gilkey...wow haven't heard that name in awhile.

Jenista! Jenista!

Jeremiah Jackson too, joe gray jr/Alexander lower value but interesting guys

2nd round fun, lotsa players.

Damn nice pick for the Cards in Roberts

It would be funny if we get Alek Thomas because he is similar to Madrigal (good contact, fringy power, good speed, good defense, questionable arm) just like Sheets was similar to Burger last year, but last year was all about power while we are ignoring it this year. 

Griffin Conine?

Eierman or Thomas please

Thomas or Wilcox?

I'd probably want Jenista over Conine if we are taking a corner outfielder.

There is some good talent for us here...  Really wanted one of those pitchers to stick around, but oh well.

I want Rocker, if there. Gonna take some dough but why not?

I wouldn't mind Jenista.

I know you and others are big on him, I wouldn’t be upset with the big although I’s love to add a high upside prep talent.

Did mlb network seriously just cut their coverage?

Rocker because we need that side-by-side photo of him and Madrigal.

I'd like Wilcox here, actually.

Yep, after pick 43.

The addition of Madrigal provides depth up the middle and a safety net in case Moncada or Anderson don't end up as the players the White Sox envisioned. Plus, it's possible Madrigal - or either Moncada or Anderson - could be moved around the field to a different position should there be too many high-quality middle infielders on the big league roster one day, certainly something Rick Hahn and his front office would describe as a good problem to have.

"You look at it and you say, ‘Can he play another position? Can he play third? Can he play short? Can he play center?' Because he can run," White Sox scouting director Nick Hostetler said of Madrigal on a recent White Sox Talk Podcast. "All of those factors are yet to be answered because we don't really know. We haven't seen enough. There isn't a big enough sample size for us to say, ‘Yes he can.' We have to look at the tools, the way the body works, the way the feet work in sync. There's a chance. I'd give this kid a chance to play anywhere on the field this year."

For now, the White Sox added the draft's highest-ranked position player, per MLB.com's rankings, and a new star to their rebuilding effort. The drama now becomes where Madrigal will rank among his fellow White Sox prospects as he begins his development in the minor leagues.
