December 6, 20169 yr The fact the other two arent mentioned makes me think its not a bigger known name like Devers or Swihart
December 6, 20169 yr QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 06:18 PM) I'll riot if one of the other two prospects isn't Devers. This isn't enough. You're ridiculous
December 6, 20169 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) Wow. The top prospect in baseball plus. Awesome. Hate to see Sale go. Hope he makes the HOF. But Moncada is the guy who I said they could not get and they got. Kudos for admitting it, DA.

But Moncada is the guy who I said they could not get and they got. He's going to have to pitch well in September and October for that to happen. And that's why I'm not sad about dealing him. Very excited about Moncada, though.
December 6, 20169 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 12:22 PM) You're ridiculous No...I'm really not. A future hall of famer for Moncada and Kopech isn't enough. The other 2 pieces have to be solid as well.
December 6, 20169 yr Devers, Travis, Groome, E Rod, Johnson, Basabe, Dalbec, Ball, Cosart, Swihart...not a whole of depth to what Boston could offer in my eyes. Hopefully its not someone who isn't on this list...

I'll be a little disappointed if the Sox didn't get at least one other Top 100 prospect in the deal. But I won't riot if we *only* got Moncada and Kopech. Moncada alone will be really, really good.

December 6, 20169 yr Makes for an interesting situation with Abreu now. Where do you actually play Moncada? 2b, 3b? One would think the dynamic nature of his game would be limited by a LF assignment in USCF.
December 6, 20169 yr Given the lack of aggressiveness by Sox to get a catcher this offseason, I bet Swihart is involved

December 6, 20169 yr You know everybody on this board wanted an "untouchable". They got one of those guys. In fact, he is the best "untouchable"

December 6, 20169 yr Author Chuck Garfien @ChuckGarfien 1m1 minute ago The Sale trade is likely only the beginning. #WhiteSox

One would think the dynamic nature of his game would be limited by a LF assignment in USCF. I'd play Moncada at 2B. We haven't had a really good one since Ray Durham.
December 6, 20169 yr Without knowing anything about anything... and not googling a scouting report or video.... why is Moncada the top prospect in baseball? His MiLB stats are very "meh" Just asking as a naive ignorant meatball fan. I'll hang up and listen to your response.
