Moncada walked a lot as a prospect.Â
Remember 2018? All of the Ks looking?Â
I've (literally?) been Moncada's biggest supporter on this forum over the years but he still had a massive strikeout rate issue as a prospect. He had a 31% K rate in AA his last year in Bostons org and was pushing 30% again after the Sale trade when he was down in Charlotte. These *16 games* are the first time we've ever seen any indication Colson being overly patient might be an issue in his game.

Moncada and Semien
Semien is probably the best comp of walk rate/strikeout rate/age plus both guys were middle infielders with questionable defensive futures. But somehow prospect analysis was at a point in 2013 where a 22 year old putting up a 167 wRC+ in AA wasn't on top 100 prospect lists, lol.

Moncada was consistently running higher strikeout rates than Montgomery has in the minors.

My weekly reminder to Montgomery that you have to swing the bat. Â Two more strikeouts looking, his K rate is nearly 40%
I genuinely cannot remember the last high end Sox prospect with elite OBP skills. I will take one guy who needs to be a little more aggressive over the dozens who swing way too much.

HR for Colson.

Can we please just hire half the Brewers' front office?
Don't spend any more on players.
Just poach 3-5 members from the Top 6-8 development organizations in the majors and double or triple their current salaries...give them all guaranteed five year contracts.
Jerry would rather hire people he knows and lose 120 games than hire people he doesn't know and win 100.

Flexen is a trainwreck. He might have the worst stuff for any SP currently locked into a rotation.

Defense is average at best.
They're a bad defensive team without Robert and Moncada on the field.

Same way Madrigal was at OSU...
Madrigal had a 150 wRC+ in AA and generally was productive hitter in the minors. We're still waiting for Gonzalez to show a pulse.

Sox position players were like 2 wins below replacement level last year if you exclude Robert's production. They are worse than many AAA lineups if he's out for an extended period of time.

I get he's younger but Colas is a brutal watch too. He is terrible

The Sox tanked a season for the privilege to draft Andrew Vaughn #3 overall

What happened with Robert and how bad did it look?
Looked more like a calf than a hammy to me, but what the hell do I know. Obviously doesn't look good either way.

So was Benintendi juiced out of his mind earlier in his career? Â He looks like he will be lucky to hit five homers a year.
He benefited from the juiced ball like a lot of other players with fringe (to be kind) power. TA is another textbook example.

No idea if Steve Wilson is legit, but his pitch data is exceptional and that's very predictive of good performance for relievers.

He did?
Stone started crying on the air when talking about what Benetti meant to him/his career a few years ago. It was the night he was honored for 40 years in broadcasting.

Danny Mendick
in Pale Hose Talk
Posted
I'm glad they're giving Mendick a shot. It's clear he's gone through a swing or approach change so you might as well see if there's anything to it.
Mendick is running a flyball rate over 50%, which is the highest he's had at any level of affiliated ball by a mile. Wouldn't it be nice if Eloy or Vaughn could lift the ball like that 🙂
