Chef Eric

Is Nick Madrigal a longtime solution for 2B for the White Sox in the same way as Moncada, Robert, and Jiménez are?

Derek King

What order do you predict these Sox infielders will finish in total WAR or fWAR: Moncada; Anderson; and Madrigal *and* Vaughn? Then, same question, but in wRC+?
