Montgomery seems so afraid of Colson Montgomery that they won't bring any righties into the game. Hence Rodriguez, Ramos and Veras are a combined 8-13 with 9 rbi.

I don't remember Eloy, Moncada or Robert being feared to the point that teams pitched around them in the minors. What is this insanity?

Eloy absolutely got pitched around. I remember some were saying promote him cause pitchers weren't challenging him.

Eloy has kinda scarred me for life. Never seen a guy dominate offensively like that in the minors. And to some extent his numbers are not as pedestrian as I always have in my head in the majors, but still, the injuries and meh power have been really unexpected. If there was one prospect I'd have bet everything on it would have been him over robert, at least offensively. Robert had so many at bats that looked like he'd never seen a baseball pitched in his life.

Here is the Veras nuke. Pretty good call by the announcer on it too.

 

I feel like there was one big Veras hype poster last year, and this year he seems to have disappeared. Veras definitely our least discussed high stat-performer.

Veras has a real good hit tool and emerging power, the question with him is swing decisions. He's still so young. If he can make the pitchers come to him with hittable pitches, he can be an mlb regular.  If he doesn't reign it in, he'll struggle.
