Great player
Great poster

Joe Morgan & Yogi Berra were 5'7"
Rickey Henderson, Willie Mays & Ozzie Smith were only 2" taller than Madrigal at 5'10"
Miguel Tejada, Mel Ott, & Pudge Rodriguez were 5'9"





You know who else had a playing height of under 6'?

Yaz.

Attila the Hun, five foot one half. Cyrano de Bergerac, five foot three half. Tamburlaine the Great, four foot nine - and three-quarters."

Dan Bernstein is 5'5"!

Still pissed I leaned over in that photo op at RTS. Definitely 5-5 to 5-6.

I think that Yaz had a more complete game than Pedroia. Just ask Hawk.

Bernstein and the Other Guy said earlier today that Madrigal ranks right now as the 31st best prospect in baseball.

He's also the 31st tallest infielder in the organization!

Did they cite a source or is that just their opinion based on their extensive knowledge of all the other prospects in baseball?

He's having a pretty damn good season.

Would be nice to still have #2 in the system.

Luis Gonzalez (OF) pushing a .900 OPS in Single A. He should be promoted soon.

Shit, Luis Basabe (OF) is also pushing a .900 OPS in Single A. The forgotten man in the Chris Sale trade.
