greg775 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 10, 2017 -> 05:12 AM) An unsustainable, lucky .300 with limited sample size We love to hate on our own. Jose Abreu, I salute you sir. You play for a horrific baseball team but you have continued to give 100 percent in meaningless games. Jose Abreu is a stud. Case closed.

My limited sample size is bigger than yours . I'm in no way implying Devers is or will be better than Moncada just don't like the lucky schtik, You have more chances to get lucky when you at least put the ball in play .

I'm in no way implying Devers is or will be better than Moncada just don't like the lucky schtik, You have more chances to get lucky when you at least put the ball in play . I hate evaluating players with less than a few full seasons like this because no matter which range you use for their stats (even if that range is every MLB PA), the sample size will be small and likely insignificant. I get it though- he has looked good overall but I still think he's due for more regression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Whatever happened to "no we're not bringing this guy up this season"? I think maybe our expectations are not realistic.

It was pretty universally agreed that once that super 2 time was up, unless he was complete dogs*** in the minors he was coming up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 This series might be good for Moncada. He'll rake this miserable KC pitching staff perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox1917 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 He needs to learn to be more aggressive in certain counts. Much easier to teach that than being patient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 He'll be better in 2018 and really good in 2019. Must improve on hitting breaking ball, and he will. He and Anderson might be a super combo very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make that a .765 OPS after that last walk. I'm starting to believe that Ron has actual powers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His speed. His bat speed. The eye test. I have been quiet for this whole thread, To be fair the eye test also told us he swung and missed a lot of pitches and was striking out at an alarming rate and if you can't put the bat on the ball that speed just makes a bigger woosh when you don't hit the pitches. Â I never voiced my opinion because I am THAT guy who when guys start off hot I love them like Delmonico and the infamous Brent Morel when he hit 9 HR's one September. And when they do poorly I take the wait and see approach like with Moncada and Avi ,although with Avi I was pretty much always arguing with everyone and still do.
