It's not common that the already established player moves for the prospect. In this hypothetical, it's 2020 and Moncada has established himself defensively. Don't think it's too far-fetched.

Plus I'd bet on Moncada's athleticism to translate better there. Expand That's true. My argument against moving Yoan has been that his range is best suited at 2B, but Madrigal probably has similar or better range. One scenario where all three pan out (I also believe that Anderson has already "panned out" if he finishes this season well) involves turning one of them- probably Madrigal- into Zobrist and just get him 148 games a year, divided between LF/SS/2B/DH/RF/3B.

Palka is a pretty boom or bust guy who doesn't walk, I wouldn't want him any higher than 6th or 7th. Yolmer should be in the lower third. Anderson should be in the upper third.

Jose Abreu Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 What the hell happened to Marwin Gonzalez? A bunch of below average hitting years, then that .907 OPS 2017, and now back to his pre-2017 ways. Pretty drastic deviation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
