1. I’m really excited for his debut

2. Can he hit?

3. The kid can play D. Let’s hope his bat keeps up.

4. Hope he’s good. Nothing like all your eggs is one basket.

5. I cannot wait!

   Not only did he look good at 3rd, but he was also the best hitter on that USA team as well.

6. Wild how the Cubs made Madrigal a plus defender at 3rd but couldn’t get Morel locked in. (Morel made massive improvements but went from unplayable to well below average)

7. Good. Now sign Alex bregman

8. Man it’d be really nice to have a real everyday 3rd baseman

9. That’s a good way to earn a job

10. He’s not on the 40 yet. Who’s getting bumped?

11. Here’s hoping Shaw and Busch can lock down our corner infield for the next 5 years.

12. Is he comparable to Bregman?

13. He’s got a .946 FLD% in 580 innings. I wouldn’t expect much from him, but the bat is *hopefully* too good to not play him somewhere.

14. Dudes gonna be money. Hopefully our 3rd baseman for the next decade.

15. Excited for Shawzy. LFG!

16. I’m sold

    I have him as a combo of Ron Santo, Mike Schmidt and George Brett except better.
