Yankees might need to sweeten things a bit but value seems close. Are you sure the Yankees would accept that deal? If they project Anderson as a 3+ WAR guy going forward instead of 1.5-2.5, it makes sense. But they still have Torres and Gregorious (eventually) that are capable of playing SS as well. Logically, if they're not going to go with Void/Bird at 1B, they'd move Andujar over there and shore up 3B defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the worst defender in all of baseball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure who is sources are but he looks to be a studen manager for UCF so there’s a Florida connection.

Probably not a good idea when play 81 games at the Rate and should be targeting ground-ball pitchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, if you sign both of those guys then trade em while you got them but in my opinion it’s just hard to let go of any of them right now knowing you may need all 7 to find your 2 with our track record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPickle Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 15 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: I will say this, if we were somehow able to land both of them, we’d be sitting on a ton of prospects and nowhere to play them. We have seven OF prospects and would maybe have room for three of them if Eloy was moved to 1B. Madrigal would have to unsurp Moncada or Anderson to get an everyday job. Seems like we’d have the prospect currency to go out and land a cost-controlled TOR starter (prior to the 2020 season) to anchor an otherwise young rotation. Not sure who might be available a year from now though. I don't think the Sox are that well suited to land a top of the rotation starter (at least not one with more than 1 year remaining). Eloy, Kopech, Cease and Robert all seem untouchable for one reason or another. Maybe a bounce back year from Hansen could change the outlook, but right now most of the tradable assets are all outfielders. No team is going to unload a top end starter for three outfielders that all look to be solid, but unspectacular players. A Dunning, Basabe, and Rutherford package probably nets you a number 3 starter with a couple years of team control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking something like Madrigal, Dunning, & Adolfo would be pretty damn attractive if Micker takes another leap forward next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that and it was posted 3 hours ago, idk by now I would imagine someone in the National media would pick up on something like this pretty quickly especially with the meetings being held today....

Selling off Madrigal before we see his REAL value on the baseball field (but accepting a lesser value because intangibles aren't measure by WAR) seems quite foolish. He's the kind of player whose style of play will have a positive effect on the rest of his teammates, and that's impossible to measure, but it has a real value to this organization. The White Sox HAVE to get stronger up the middle (C, middle infield, CF)...we've gone for ages without a REALLY good catcher who was a team leader like a Molina/Posey/Perez, and we've also lacked a really good CFer as well. Shore up those two positions and get a consistent 3-4 WAR 3B with some pop and at least an average or slightly above average defender and we're golden.

They would be tying it. 😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
