I'm mistaken? A wRC+ of 90 is above average?

He's wRC+ is 90. That is pretty much replacement level.

Severino tonight. Bieber, Bauer, and Carrasco over the weekend. You are looking at another 10ks or so by the end of Sunday. It is going to be pretty damn ironic if the Sox are forced to hide this kid in September during a developmental year.

How about Moncada and Burger for Senzel? Moncada is a 70 grade prospect according to Fangraphs and Senzel is only a 60. The Sox can throw in Burger as a sweetener. Yolmer Sanchez can take over second until Madrigal is ready. Davidson can play third until Senzel is ready for a call up in early 19.

Last year Moncada's future was being compared to Robinson Cano. Currently, his future is being compared to Javier Baez. At this time next year, will we be comping him to Starlin Castro?

Moncada has a wRC+ of 91 according to fangraphs. That is below average no matter how you slice it and dice it. Also, a 34% strikeout percentage with a sub 700 OPS looks pretty overmatched to my eyes.

How is this comment trolling? The White Sox took two advanced college power bats in the first two rounds of the 2017 draft. Neither of those picks are looking so hot right now and are sliding down every prospect list. Is what I'm saying not true?

The first two picks from the 2017 draft are leaving a lot to be desired.

Don't you think he needs to become a league average second baseman before we start declaring him a star? Also, the bolded is a lot easier said than done. Many a baseball career has been derailed by an inability to ever full recogonize and adjust to major league pitching.

Have you not been watching this team for the past decade and change? The coaching and development of young players, especially on the position player side, is not something this organization excels at. For better or worse, most of these young guys are on their own when it comes to learning how to play in the big leagues.

Then this rebuild is already a massive failure and the future is just as bleak as the last 10 years have been.

Fulmer's ceiling at this point looks to be a 7th inning guy. The scouts who had him pegged for the bullpen were right. What a waste of a top ten pick.

Seriously? Moncada, Anderson, Rodon, Giolito, Lopez, Fry. That is 6 right there.

Think he starts next year at Charlotte?

Moncada is in a free fall. wRC+ of 93. OPS barely above 700. People honestly think this kid is improving and having a good year?

Yep. minors and former prospect rankings mean dittly squat for Moncada now. Torres from the yanks is close to passing Moncada in career WAR and Moncada has played 90 more games! There is a ton of young talent in mlb and very little of it is on the South Side unfortunately.

Just release him and get some real ballplayers on the South Side. The Sox look like a AAA team compared to the Yankees and Judge isn't even in the lineup.

The league has figured out how to pitch him and he hasn't adjusted. His hit took was always shaky and has been absolutely exposed by major league pitching. He needs to learn to make adjustments or he will never be anything special. Hahn should have stood firm on Benintendi but a bad gm is a bad gm.

Lmao. Weren't you just posting the other day about how Yoan Moncada has the potential to be the one of the best second baseman of all time? Rick Han should be fired on the spot if Moncada starts next year at Charlotte.

This thread got straight up derailed!

I do not believe so.

Palka is more fun to watch than Moncada right now.

Dude, don't you know that wins and losses is an archaic baseball stat just like batting average. It is not fair to judge Hahn on wins and losses anymore. What was the Sox run differential, pythagorean win-loss percentage, and inverted baseline theory ratio during the last 6 years compared to other bottom feeders like Cincy, San Diego, and Miami?

This post pulls no punches and comes out swinging! Rick Hahn has been in over his head as a GM since day one. The only thing he can really hang his hat on at this point is a few contract extensions with players who no longer play in Chicago. If this Sox team isn't fighting for a playoff spot two years from now then he needs to go. Also, the Yoan Moncada Cheerleading Squad may call me a troll, but I would argue that Jerry Reinsdorf is pulling the ultimate troll job on all of us. Both his professional sports franchises are absolutely floundering while his wallet is doing the exact opposite.

Season tickets are for old timers and are heading in the same direction as the taxi industry. Younger generation has no interest in them especially for a floundering Sox team.
