Jealous anyone?

He might get hurt signing the contract.

Your follow-through to look it up and do the math is appreciated.

"They've only put themselves in a better position to compete with the White Sox..."  KW

I need one of these to pop up at a Goodwill.

I wonder if someone can fail a physical for not being physical. 

When not injured, blowing through stop signs and getting hosed by 15 feet.  The ultimate multitalented player 

clearly already a finished product out of Oregon State...just turned out to be Kwan instead

Madrigal has to go down as one of the worst draft picks in history.  He has to be one of the lowest ceiling players ever takin in the top 5 at least in recent draft history.  He had zero percent chance of playing SS, zero percent chance of being a high impact base stealer and less than zero percent chance of ever developing power.  Just an absolute abomination of a top 5 pick.

Bohm the previous pick hasn't set Philly on fire exactly...

He was a bad draft pick in a horrible draft.

"This spring, the righty-hitting Madrigal will compete with Luisangel Acuña, Luis De Los Santos, Brett Baty and Jared Young, among others, for a spot on the Mets' Opening Day roster. Otherwise, he should land in Triple-A."

Are Split contracts Major League deals?

He should have been one of those guys the pundits crowed about a team grabbing with the 25th pick. "OMG!! This guy was mocked in the top 5!!! What a steal for the Astros!!"

I think Hahn and Hostetler spent too much time on the internet. 

addendum: It always disappointed me how dudes would become so impressed when they realized Beer and Burger were both food words, and it would be "the funniest thing in human history if Beer and Burger both played on the same team !!! woah!! High five me, dude!!" When, Sousa, Madrigal, Bilous and Troutwine were all taken by the Sox in the same draft, and one could have a roster announcing a Sousa Madrigal, Bil(i)ous on Troutwine. Oh, and Fry was an option, too. I hope nobody ever literally "died" laughing.

Boy that draft really was terrible. Bohm probably was the best player selected in the first round. It would be McClanahan but are we considering comp picks as first rounders?

It wasn't like the Sox were the only ones fooled. He received a number of favorable reviews. Momma's didn't conceive MLB talented kid that year.

If only we took Kelenic

Tarik Skubal...we could have cornered the market, along with Crochet Skubal eventually Schultz and Smith.

When Madrigal first came up to Sox, he had trouble with the throw to first, ala Steve Sax. I know it was psychological, but still, I had my doubts right then.
