GGajewski18 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Rodon hit 97 mph on pitch 112. He's such a tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 21, 2017 -> 04:47 PM) This feels like a 10+ strikeout game for Rodon. Well he was 1 short. Still a great outing from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's starting to look like the ace we hoped we'd see when he was drafted. Still very young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 QUOTE (Tannerfan @ Aug 21, 2017 -> 06:09 PM) What if I told you Moncada is no Corey Bellinger which is what I was kind of hopping for. Let's just hope that Boston scout wasn't right about Moncada being a bit of a head case at the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 The standard comp is Cano, with more speed. Moncada will have to go quite a ways to match Cano's rookie year, at the same age of 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm never heard that before. I do wonder why he wears the face protector. Don't see many wearing that. I mean I guess you can see good with it on and does protect your face but hard to describe how I feel about it. Seems logical but out of place.

The Sir Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 21, 2017 -> 05:52 PM) Just ugly from Yoan. Has no idea how to protect and his swing from right side is not MLB caliber Think Kopech will end up the prize of that trade. But that sucks because he can't really exceed Sale, so we'll have ended up trading Sale for a guy who might approach his talents, a highly touted MIer who strikes out way too much and s***tily switch hits, and two longshot back end pieces. I don't honestly think this will end up a positive rebuilding trade for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Could the shin splints be bothering him? He hasn't really been completely healthy, for a while now. He had the bruised thumb, at Charlotte, then the collision, and now the shin splints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't honestly think this will end up a positive rebuilding trade for us. I said that a while back and was criticized. IOW, I agree. Moncada obviously has a lot of trouble hitting a breaking pitch. So that's what he will be seeing. Hope he figures it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always huge risk any time you acquire the #1 prospect in baseball, the likely #1 2018 pitching prospect in baseball. Hahn shoulda aimed higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
