What I mean by this is guys with well above average speed, gap power good to great defense and a 70 hit tool that strike out 75 or fewer times per 700 PA. There were 3 qualified hitters in MLB last year who had under a 10% K Rate. Yes he's a unicorn.

Good for Robert, and I'm a bit bummed that Madrigal is a unicorn because baseball would be a better game with more players like him. Edited August 3, 20196 yr by Jack Parkman

August 3, 20196 yr 5 minutes ago, Tony said: I think they are going to call him up as well. The 2nd half has been a disaster, but you’re still seeing people come out the park. I think that may fade as the summer comes to a close, and they are going to need some more buzz. What about Madrigal? He coming with la Pantera? Edited August 3, 20196 yr by Jack Parkman

August 3, 20196 yr 3 minutes ago, Tony said: Nah, I don’t see that. Agree with fathom, different circumstances, kid can hit but even offseason hopefully he can put on just a little bit more muscle, etc. I imagine him up around June 1, maybe earlier if the Sox come out the gates strong. What do you guys think they do with Kopech? Try to get the year back by sending him to Charlotte until 6/1 or start him in the Majors? This is the most interesting decision of them all.

August 3, 20196 yr 1 minute ago, Tony said: If he has a strong spring and they spend even a little money in the offseason, they’ll get killed for that. If looks like trash in the spring and velo is down, maybe, but I hope that isn’t the case. What if the velo is fine but the command is atrocious? That tends to happen to guys just back from TJS.

August 3, 20196 yr 4 minutes ago, Quin said: When did Robert get called up to Charlotte? My goodness. Right after the Future's game, so he debuted on 7/11.
August 3, 20196 yr Just now, SoxAce said: I'm sure @fathom would say that was cheap. Barely made it over the wall
August 3, 20196 yr 3 minutes ago, Tony said: I guess it’s the same deal then, but he’d have to look real bad for him to spend half the season in AAA I think there is a slight possibility that the velocity is fine but he's really wild. I agree with you guys that if Kopech looks good to go in ST that he starts in Chicago but if they have a reasonable excuse to send him down they will. Edited August 3, 20196 yr by Jack Parkman

August 3, 20196 yr Ok another question: Let's assume Vaughn's bat is as special as everyone thinks it is, and he rakes at every level. When does he make his MLB debut? Late August 2020 or do they wait on him until 4/15/21? Edited August 3, 20196 yr by Jack Parkman
