June 25, 20196 yr Author Robert finished 2-5 with a double and 2 runs Madrigal finished 3-4 (.404 avg now) Fuck it promote both of these guys to AAA on 7/1 Edited June 25, 20196 yr by soxfan49
June 25, 20196 yr Frankly that Madrigal line of 3-4 with a BB, a 2b, and 2 SBs is the kinda of stuffed stat sheet I dreamed of when they drafted him. Kinda funny but has Beard stolen a base yet? Seems like he keeps getting picked off and caught stealing.

June 25, 20196 yr I'm getting reallly excited about Jose Rodriguez. Liked him alot last year in the DSL too going by the numbers.
June 25, 20196 yr Just now, BigHurt3515 said: As the saying goes; hitting is contagious And a reason why I wonder if they keep them down there longer. If basabe, Rutherford and others stay hot they may want to keep them together.

Any other effects on other players real or not is totally secondary to Roberts development. If he’s ready you move him up.
June 25, 20196 yr 33 minutes ago, Quin said: I know it sounds weird - but does anyone think Madrigal and Robert might have had an effect on the rest of the lineup? Absolutely. And that’s why I’ve never been overly concerned about Gonzalez, Basabe, and Rutherford. Hitting is contagious in both a positive and negative way. Sure, it would have been nice for them to get off to better starts, but that whole lineup was brutal early on. It wasn’t even June yet, and people were giving up on them as prospects.

If you told me Rutherford would be hitting around .250 in late June, I would much prefer a huge struggle early and a positive adjustment/hot streak rather than a steady .250 all year. Anybody who faces adversity and doesn’t fold is better off in the long run.
June 25, 20196 yr 13 hours ago, SoxAce said: This is getting comical with those two at this point. 1 and 2 with Moncada in the 3 spot? I'd be cool with that.
June 25, 20196 yr 11 hours ago, BigHurt3515 said: Playing really well Still young enough to where we can give him another year or two. But I wish he would hit for some more power too.
June 25, 20196 yr Since 5/31 Rutherford is slashing .390/.425/.451 He's a little younger than Madrigal, but he doesn't provide the speed and defense to make a .061 ISO work. If he repeats AA next year I'd hope for a ~.280 AVG and an ISO approaching .200.
