I have no idea why you wouldn't try and jam engel inside there but we'll take it!

 

Stone called it when the Royals left the entire right side of the infield open, he'd been hitting it there all spring

His tool set should make him above replacement just based on defense and speed. Just can't hit .160 again.

All he has to do is have a .650 OPS at the plate to be replacement level with that defense of his.

Moncada will strikeout, but as long as he's a BB and XBH machine, then we'll all take it.

 

I'd rather see him swinging at pitches slightly out of the zone, versus taking close pitches. He has such amazing physical tools, use them.

Just two notes from me right now:

 

1) These mound visit tally's are really silly. I don't want to see that on the scoreboard, it's basically marketiting/advertising to people like "hey, we are, uhh, trying to speed up the game YOU SEE?" It's lame.

2) These announcers (CHI-SOX) are kind of annoying. I don't know their names, but the guy who talks mostly intelligently seems to like to take stabs at people like the weatherman or the other announcer. He has some good analysis here and there tho. The other guy is kind of aloof. "WHY?" "WHY?" Maybe I just have to let it build.
