Who is this new White Sox prospect you ask?
He is the White Sox leadoff hitter of the future.
Easy to predict
I read a lot about the Oregon State second baseman and contact machine Nick Madrigal. Many of the words I read gave me a hunch the Sox might select him. With a pick like this in context of the current talent already assembled, the key is mitigating risk. Here’s my theory: the upside for the White Sox in this draft literally translated to minimizing the downside.
I’m not yet certain how this pick reconciles against the rest of the team’s talent.
