In-Person reports on Moncada, Delmonico, Engel, Hayes

[NorthSideSox72]

FutureSox has had a few writers storming the affiliates in the past few days (still ongoing), and our content from that is now rolling out. This is exclusive content including videos, quotes from players and coaches and more. All free.

 

First up: A look at some key hitting prospects in AAA, just a call away from the majors. We focused on Yoan Moncada, Nick Delmonico, Adam Engel and Danny Hayes.

 

Take a look, spread it around, let us know what you think. Other than Moncada (duh), who else are you excited to see?

Enjoyed reading it, hope the Sox draft more hitters June to give them more options.

Thanks for that. I saw Delmonico up close at the last game we attended in spring. He had a ringing double off the wall opposite field and held his own at 3B, although he failed to make a play on a slow roller you'd expect a good MLB 3B to make more often than not.

 

I thought he was older and had less of a pedigree when I was watching him. But seeing how he's only 24 and was once thought of as a pretty high upside prospect gives me hope the Sox might have found something.

 

In a few weeks I'd really like to see Lopez, Moncada and Delmonico all up but that means something has to be done with Todd for their to be any real playing time at 3B.

Having seen Fulmer and Lopez recently, I'd say you want Fulmer before Lopez - for now. Long term it's Lopez. But Fulmer is closer to ready at the moment.

Sounds good to me. I just don't want to see Dylan Covey.

Thanks for the info. Sounds promising.
