A 4 WAR 3b with his contract and several years of control is a solid player. Whether you get a top flight prospect for him would depend on whether someone was desperate for a 3b and how Moncada was hitting at the time. I don't think it's fair to declare him a 4 WAR 3B. He is incredibly inconsistent. He's had 2 seasons out of 5 where he's exceeded 4 WAR. The rest of his career he topped out at 1.3 WAR. Is that worth $43M over 2 years?

I'm sure batting him 9th and DH doesn't bode well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s just awful it’s almost like he missed 2/3 of the 162 game season for some reason. We should definitely blame him for that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandal and Abreu are old. Moncada is inconsistent as fuck and you don't know what you're getting out of him in a given year. He's either great or sucks, with no in between. neither Eloy nor Moncada can stay healthy and Robert has his problems too. Congrats, you have two MLB hitters that you can count on.

So if that was a full season, he would have been 5 war in 2019, 3 war in 2020, 4 war in 2021. Please tell me again how that is not a 4 WAR 3b?

Called LaRussa a lake duck manager, among other things...eventually questioned the quality of the entertainment value of the current product on the field.

Eloy has the talent to be very good, and so does Moncada. What is frustrating is how maddingly inconsistent a lot of guys are. Maybe Grandal, Abreu or both turn it around. I mean, it's possible that these guys don't suck but I'm kind of taking 2022 in a vacuum at the moment. I wish I didn't care about sports but for some reason as much as I b**** about it I enjoy baseball and other sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
