In before White Sox fans (HR specifically) say he is the best prospect ever!

No, the best prospect ever is going to be the guy who gets traded for Cy Quintana.

Their obsession with me is oddly amusing for me and downright embarrassing for them.

As far as Moncada goes, I think he'll be an All Star type if nothing else year in and year out. I'd still rather have Sale but it's hard to ignore Moncada's ridiculous upside. I'm excited to watch him grow.

In all honesty...I believe it was a terrible trade for Boston. Moncada came off as one of those "once in a generation" type players.

I think as long as his attitude does not go in the crapper I think he will have a tremendous career.

Terrible trade for Boston? Have you watched Sale this year? I will take a proven star and top 2 most dominant pitcher in the MLB over a couple prospects. Yeah it's Moncada, but he's not a star...yet. Who knows if he will be or not? Red Sox wouldn't be in 1st in the AL East and making a playoff run without Sale. Red Sox made a great trade here.

I just don't understand how you think it's a terrible trade for Boston, I'm sorry.

He also walks.....a lot. But I suppose that wouldn't fit the bust narrative

Tons of people have more Ks than hits. Not especially notable these days.

Today's hitters are no Tony Gwynn, even Trout won an MVP when he struck out the most

TASS · 07-03-2017, 10:03 AM

Moncada is going to be a special player but it's going to take time needs improvement on plate discipline which will come as he elevates through the system.

As far as the Red Sox trading him, I'm pretty happy as a Sox fan with the immediate success we have seen from Chris Sale so far this season.

This is one of those trades that made sense for both organizations based on their present situations.

This seems counter intuitive to me, but I haven't looked into the numbers. Please back up this bold claim with some names and numbers. I'd love to know what kind of players fit that profile.

Judge, Stanton, Machado, Encarnacion, Odor, Upton, Lamb, Souza, Sano, etc. Lot of good players doing that right now, even if some are having disappointing or abnormal seasons. Even Kris Bryant has an equal number of strikeouts to hits.

Yeah strikeouts don't matter a whole lot if they aren't keeping you from being productive.

That being said we don't know if that's the case for Moncada. They certainly did keep him from being productive his first ML stint.

Nobody can predict what Moncada can be. Too much variance in potential result. We will just have to wait and see.

Something tells me if the dude was traded TO your club instead of FROM.... you might be singing a different tune.

As a white sox fan, I was ecstatic with the sale trade. I loved Chris sale, but it was time to rebuild. Moncada is a prospect worth being excited about. I have been trying to pick up a copy of each moncada card in a white sox uniform this year, including autos. His cards have been cheap because of the trade and he hasn't been called up. I have been able to pick up some rare cards for fairly cheap.

Loved watching Moncada while he was playing for the Charlotte Knights. He's a decent hitter with a high ceiling in my opinion.
