Ugh. They drafted Yolmer Sanchez. Yippee

Sanity prevailed. Way more tense than I thought.

Nick Madrigal, little dude.. Reminds me of augie ojeda

From Yahoo...

"He's listed at 5-foot-7 and became just the second middle infielder at 5-foot-8 or shorter to be selected in the first round since 1965 (the other, ironically enough, is former White Sox infielder Joey Cora)."

Let's hope that is the last Joey Cora comparison....

Obviously the success of Altuve, Betts, Albies etc. has changed the perception of these guys. You think Madrigal even goes in the first round 5 years ago?

Uh oh.



So is this the latest fad the Sox are trying to get in on that will fail spectacularly?

Its not really a fad, its just an old way of thinking that clearly no longer applies.

Dude must be good. Big chance taking a midget at #4 overall.

Its really not any riskier than drafting a 5'11 guy.

love that they took the dude keyser hates. I cant wait for him to crap on everything he does

He’s fine. Nice little player. Not a difference maker.

I'm just glad they didn't take the football player who has every tool except the one that counts the most.

From MLB.com:

4. Chicago White Sox: 2B Nick Madrigal, Oregon State University


Madrigal is the best player in college baseball, and he's the best pure hitter in this Draft, hitting a cool .406 this year for the Beavers with 13 walks and just five strikeouts. He may be only 5-foot-8, but size isn't an issue because he can hit, he can really run and he can really play second base. The Jose Altuve comparisons are a bit much because Madrigal doesn't have that kind of power, but he's not a slap-hitter, either.

No doubt. I dont care what his height is if the kid is a baseball player

Bernsie will immediately hate him tagging him as grindy.

Keith, what are your thoughts on Chris Sale?

Klaw(1:25 PM)

I ranked him 47th. The White Sox took him 13th. You do the math.

A complete fucking clown.

I don't like it. Something has to be wrong with Singer's arm.

Madrigal just needs to go on the Mike Piazza weight lifting plan. He'll be fine.

Oops. Wrong thread.

Do you like Chris Sale's move to the rotation and where do you see him as a future starter?

Klaw (1:35 PM) No, I don't.

Clown Show.

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

Another infielder. Just what they don't need.
