I would say, looking at the league, it's the easiest spot to fill with a great player. But getting a great player in general is hard as hell, so that's not really relevant.

I'd do that in a heartbeat, which tells me that Houston wouldn't. I know Tucker was terrible in a brief stint, but Jake Marisnick is not that good, and Reddick and Brantley are old. They have to have some sort of plan of Tucker replacing one of those guys sooner or later I would imagine.

The only guys I'd take over him moving forward are maybe Chapman and Bregman though. Bryant, Arenado and Rendon are about to get expensive and/or old and Devers is a ham sandwich away from not being a 3B. I'd take Chapman over 99.9 percent of baseball though.

That's a 4-1 by my count.

There are 15 players in all of baseball with a better fWAR than Moncada, 7 of them are third basemen lol.

Yeah but those guys are going to vote LeMahieu or Bregman, because playoffs.

He's been one of the 5-10 best players in the AL and one of 15-20 best in baseball though and that makes me happy enough.

The only way he wins MVP is if Trout retires today.

He had a couple hiccups early in the year, but his default setting seems to be 6 innings and 4 runs. That's not good, and I'm not going to try to tell you it it, but he's providing what they needed when injuries backed them into a corner, and that's a semi-consistent presence. He's been fine for what he was acquired to do. They gave up a nobody for him, that were we not all super in-tune with the minors because of the rebuild, none of us would have cared one second about. The 9 million is irrelevant.

Almost have to take that year-to-year, because relievers are so hard. I'd rather groom him to be comfortable to come into the game whenever, instead of jamming him into a one inning role though.

Eh, what does he do for you even if he bounces back? Even at his best he hit's just kinda okay for a 1B/DH and I'm not moving Moncada again for a reclamation piece.

It's probably going to be. The results are super nice, but there's some concerning trends going on there and contending teams are smart enough to look beyond the saves. Happy to be proven wrong, but his batted ball numbers are nuts for the results he's getting.

That hamate injury sucks. He was set up for a big year.

Operative word being ‘The Show’ also it’s been what 20 at bats?

Eloy and moncada werent our guys when they did. I remember Kopech being filthy

Collins played in the game last year and is currently in the major leagues...

Mostly that everyone but the two guys there is having a bad year lol

That play eloy made convinced me he was a solid defender for a lot longer than it should have

Would have liked to actually watch that at bat

He is such a dork

I don’t hate it. Just sucks for the kid they might not be able to fit in now lol.

What an asshole move from trammell hahahaha

Oh hey didn’t know the Carmel kid was in this

Well the guy who made the lineup is a member of the Sox FO ?

Lol Keith Law has taken to talking about the prospects on twitter because the broadcast wouldn’t.
