ShoeLessRob Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I want to feel bad for Madrigal, but his personality rubs me wrong. Little man syndrome, always trying to prove himself. Just play fundamental baseball and people will love you kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs PEDs. I'm not kidding. Ron is right. Not only is he short, he's just scrawny. Vaughn ain't an inch over 5'10 and yet he at least has some shoulders and thighs (no Jokic) on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 What other options are there? Just Mendick? Remillard? Tim Beckham's suspended how long? At this point, I would rather see Alcides Escobar or Wilson Betemit. Heck, Viciedo while we're at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletcher hit 3 homers last year, but just from watching him in the opening series, I don't see how that's even possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a terrible defensive player and the worst base runner on the planet if you’re going to quote small sample sizes. Again, if he was a 20th round pick, no one on here would want him on the roster. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) 5 minutes ago, fathom said: He will get the whole season I’m sure They should drop Lamb and call up Mendick, limit Garcia's playing time to the OF, can blend Mendick starts in more if Madrigal continues as he is. Wanted him up Monday to start the process, Lamb still hasn't played a game. Put him on the taxi squad or drop him. July would make it a full year in the majors, they should get someone at the trade deadline if he's drops into the 500s-low 600 OPS range.

People jumping off the deep end on Madrigal because his defense and base running have been poor over a 35 game sample is completely absurd. Give him some time to develop and actually show what his true talent level is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
