And Meidroth already has 11 home runs in 825 plate appearances, Madrigal had 4 in 992. I always hated the comparison even when we traded for him because he has so much more power

He’s batting .270 with 6 homers and plus defense at 2nd base. What he’s doing now he can easily continue for the next ten years and probably improve on everything. He’s just a very good, solid player who does a lot of things to help your team win. This is one of your sillier posts.

He has more power than Meidroth and it looks like he will hit for a higher AVG with a higher OBP. The only question is — is Meidroth’s defense drastically better than Antonacci’s at 2B? Edited 3 hours ago3 hr by WhiteSox2023
2 hours ago2 hr I wish he would stop the balancing act of pulling the ball and just go back to an on base machine contact hitter. That and his gold glove caliber defense make him valuable.

The only question is — is Meidroth’s defense drastically better than Antonacci’s at 2B?According to the scouts I follow, yes. I think Law even said this the other week. My understanding is Meidroth is a plus defender and Antonacci is more average with potential to be a little better. Nevertheless, if Antonacci can improve in LF, staying there might remain more viable considering Bonemer and Roch will each have 2027 ETAs
