I decided to look up Moncada's WAR numbers and noticed virtually every player on the team(including Moncada) are rated negatively in defensive WAR on Baseball Reference. The only 2 positive defensive WAR players are Engel and Sanchez. How the hell does Yolmer have a positive defensive WAR right now? Believe they use UZR which takes forever (some say years) to give a useable sample. The number you're seeing on the page next to moncada is his average of runs saved (or not) relative to the league I believe and then position adjusted to come up with WAR (could be wrong, it was hard to find just now). So Yolmer, even tho he's a lousy 2B so far, he gets more credit than say a RF who's just average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I really hoped he could just get it down to 28% this year, to be sub 25% at this point is so fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've finally found what it takes for Hahn to evaluate talent properly. All we gotta do is trade for the consensus #1 prospect in baseball a few more times and we're golden.

Greg Hibbard Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I'm not overly concerned, as mini slumps are part of the game, even for fantastic hitters. However, this needs to not get out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 24.7 K%, 134 wRC+. Season now 20% complete. Slumping a bit of late but if he did this across a full season he’s a 4 WAR player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hibbard Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Yoan's BABIP is only 7 points higher than his career average. Really good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've been saying this to those expecting major regression. James McCann and his ~.450 BABIP will regress, for example, but Moncada's contact profile indicates that he can maintain an elite, .340-.350 BABIP like Judge/Trout/Baez do. .290/.345/.515, Moncada's current line, is probably not far off from where he'll end the year assuming he doesn't endure an extremely prolonged slump or hot streak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hibbard Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Also, since 8/17/18- in 312 PA / 282 AB, .284/.346/.461/.807 19 2b, 2 3b, 9 HR with a 29% K rate That's basically half a season of really good data... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I wanted to see his krate get to at least 28% so if he can make it 25% legitimately I don't see why he can't reach all of the potential people saw in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not walking as much as people would like, but I think he has to be more aggressive to cut down on Ks. Either cut down on the Ks, or take more walks. Pick your poison.

Jack Parkman Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Moncada: Last 15: .241/.297/.362 with 19/4 K/BB Last 30: .250/.300/.425 with 38/8 K/BB All numbers are from whitesox.com I'm starting to get a little concerned that his numbers this year are incredibly inflated by the hot streak he was on in the first week of the season. Maybe he isn't as good this year as we thought he was. Edited May 10, 2019 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
