I do think the fanbase should be allowed to vote to force ownership to sell. Then they'd have to be accountable to someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever signed off on replacing Madrigal with utility players. I'll say that's ultimately Hahn's call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you listen to the people with supposed sources, they all soured on Madrigal. Personally, I thought he was a useful player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I thought he was a useful player. Madrigal was a top 10 2nd basemen (by fWAR) at the time of his injury. His bat clearly plays at the big league level and I think he was making strides before the injury. I don't want to have another Madrigal debate with anyone, really, but he was objectively a very productive player and clearly better than the utility guys they've brought in to replace him. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before we anoint Nick...he played 6 games after May last year. He had a major injury the year before. He had a major injury in his last year in college. I loved his potential but is he not the positional equivalent of Rodon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm gonna guess the Bassitt trade had some impact on what we were trying to do. Because the 2 signings came out not long after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
