I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see him but put him 3+ WAR season in 2025 IF he can play 120+ games. Huge if though, obviously. I bet he gets more than most think to. I'd say 1 year $5-7M with some attainable performance incentives. He'll certainly have a lot of play for, and is still a well above average defensive 3B. If Tim Anderson got $5 million last year, this makes general sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loidwalden Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 The great Moncada nightmare is over. Finally Hahn and Moncada in the same year. I should go play the lottery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Possibly the biggest disappointment in franchise history for a position player other than Joe Borchard? The hype just never was realized and outside of 1.5 years the bat was so frustrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree with Sosa, In 1990 he was the only player in baseball to have double figures in the following categories: doubles, triples, home runs, stolen bases and outfield assists. He started 1991 off well as well before he and Walt Hriniak, much like Cory Snyder, simply disagreed on the approach to hitting. He took it personally and fell into a funk. Not saying Hriniak was wrong but maybe if he gave a little bit Sosa would have responded better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordonez/Lee/Durham. I guess Abreu, but he wasn’t your typical rookie. So disappointed after starting out a huge “Panther” fan in skinny Sosa. Very typical ending to JR players…it’s the Sox way or the highway. Mike Cameron was also really exciting but quickly traded for Konerko.

I don’t think he would be that massive of a bust considering that. He was still just a third round pick.

bobbydanks Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 (edited) I don't really understand latin music, Moncada or that guy from the Mets but I know it's boring and annoying just like them as players. Partying to garbage that sounds like Celine Dion except with a hispanic guy singing it sounds like me partying to Celine Dion batting the last few years, who was more valuable as a player by just not being on the White Sox roster. What's Selena's OPS? Who gives a f*** about these guys? What he'll put up an prospected average of a 2.0 WAR if he played150 games which he won't play because he'd rather put together a fucking boy band. I hope he signs in New York with that other idiot so they can sing their way to 78 wins while the White Sox hate fun and win 50.

Timmy U Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 I get the anti-Moncada sentiment here. Huge disappointment. But I guarantee if he plays 50+ games, he’ll have a higher WAR than Vargas. I keep searching for what Getz saw in that guy. Supposedly Fedde is on the block. I will be interested to see what the Cards get for him.

I will be interested to see what the Cards get for him. "Donovan isn’t as pressing a case any of Arenado, Gray, (Willson Contreras), (Erick Fedde) or (Ryan Helsley) because he has three seasons of club control remaining, is more affordable and can more or less play anywhere on the diamond," Adams said. "That said, all of those factors will also make him appealing to other clubs. We know the Cardinals aren’t going to focus on contending for at least one of Donovan’s three remaining seasons, and if the goal is to beef up the farm system, listening to offers on one of the sport’s premier jacks of all trades makes good sense. https://www.si.com/mlb/cardinals/st-louis-cardinals-news/cardinals-4-million-key-piece-surprisingly-could-be-on-trade-block-pat3 Edited November 2 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
