Bob Sacamano Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 01:59 PM) Kinda wish Boston had not blown a year of service time by calling up Moncada in September...but I'm nit picking now They didn't waste a year of service time.

chitownsportsfan Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) If lots of strikeouts are accompanied by lots of walks, I'm OK with that. Who who cares about the strikeouts. If he hits 250/340/480 he's a 4 WAR player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 02:03 PM) He was up for 31 days. That really doesn't effect the White Sox in any meaningful way. They have him for 6 years. If they wait 6 weeks to call him up they will get a 7th. This and I really hope he starts in AAA.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 The Sox totally f***ed the Nationals last night. KW hates Mike Rizzo. They either leaked to Rosenthal and Heyman or the Nats did after thinking they had something locked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon_44 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 03:03 PM) Apparently our targets were Betts and Benintendi + in July, that's why no deal. Buster Olney ✔ @Buster_ESPN White Sox get a big haul from BOS -- and it's a step down for what they asked for in July, which included Betts and Benintendi. And a few months later, they get neither.

The Ginger Kid Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I've been holding my breath waiting for that funky delivery to finally catch up with Chris. Hope I'm wrong, hate to see him get hurt, but at least if he does the Sox dodged a bullet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I'm wrong, hate to see him get hurt, but at least if he does the Sox dodged a bullet It might never catch up with him. The guy's a freak of nature. I don't think injury risk was that high on the minds of teams that were willing to give up half their farm system for him. He's never had any issues with his arm, especially not as of late. He had some dead arm periods/starts when he first converted to a starter, but that was it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Searching to see if Moncada speaks English, I found this quote from 2015: https://twitter.com/ScottLauber/status/620677149800972290 Jose Iglesias signed with #RedSox as teenager out of Cuba. His advice for Yoan Moncada: pick American roommate, learn English Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 So our two best hitting prospects strikeout a lot but also have a good eye at the plate. Hopefully they can cut down on the strikeouts because those worry me A LOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, I'll give Rizzo a pass. He is the one that scouted Frank Thomas and recommended the Sox draft him after all. He also negotiated Frank's initial signing.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Really hope Anderson and Moncada man the middle infield for the next 6 seasons. Now let's see who else we add. I'm studying so I gota get back but can someone give me a quick summary on Basabe and Diaz? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many of them do. I'd say it is equally reasonable to worry about Moncada disappointing. Both things are possible. Pitchers get hurt and #1 prospects disappoint.

Quin Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Top three prospects in baseball since MLB Pipeline showed up: 2011: Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Matt Moore 2012: Jurickson Profar, Dylan Bundy, Wil Myers 2013: Byron Buxton, Oscar Taveras, Miguel Sano 2014: Byron Buxton, Carlos Correa, Kris Bryant 2015: Byron Buxton, Corey Seager, Lucas Giolito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both things are possible. Pitchers get hurt and #1 prospects disappoint. In the end, that does nothing to change the calculus of this deal either way. Depends how you define "disappoint". He could be disappointing but still be a solid player for multiple years. That's his upside. If it's Garcia-type upside and Moncada winds up sucking, everyone is fired.
