No more than 2 years. Eh, I'm just not at all worried. You can never have too many good players.  I don't really care too much about power at 3B if the 3B is playing +15 runs defensively and is getting on base at a 380 clip. And it's not like he won't have his share of doubles and triples. Ideally he slashes something like 300/380/470 in his prime -- rich man's Dee Gordon.

caulfield12 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 The Astros have so many guys who are DH/1B types already....Gattis, McCann, JD Davis, Tyler White, Gurriel...but why not go for it? Much better risk than the Cubs took with Schwarber at #4, although that's still worked out okay for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam8610 Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Random thought, but apparently I like good Houston 2Bs to compare Madrigal, because the other comp that comes to mind for me is Craig Biggio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 So 15 picks before our next selection and still a ton of good talent, including a lot of interesting high school guys.  I am very excited for #46. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I would love to see the Sox be able to use all 3. Just curious as to how it may work as I havent seen 3B reports on Madrigal. I dont know if he can slug 470 though.

Kalapse Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I get why they want it to be a spectical but man do I miss the conference call, the entire draft would be over by the end of the work day. I just wish the coverage was better because it's currently shit. There's nothing interesting about any of this except for the actual selections. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Here is where things will get interesting. These next four picks will determine which high school guys like big overslot deals in place and might be options at #46. I’m guessing Wilcox & Edwards go in the next four.

DirtySox Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Can I get greedy and hope for a Siani/Schnell/Thomas at 46, and then a Griffin Roberts at 81? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
