So you're asking when?

 

Same birthday as Frank Thomas...Sox debut August 2nd. Good enough for Frank, good enough for Yoan.

After the AS break, after some trades open spots, after the Super Two deadline passes.

Playing him ahead of Yolmer?

 

put Yolmer at SS.

 

Figure out another spot for Anderson.

 

 

 

Hopefully when he shows he is better than AAA competition. He has been very average lately and last i saw his SO rate was over 30%. After his miserable showing in Boston last fall, hopefully our FO waits until he is playing well in AAA. This is his first year at this level and he is having his ups and downs like many young players. This is a wasted year so we certainly don't want to screw up our prized young player.

Yep.

2018

It's not as if he's lighting it up in Charlotte.. there are still things he needs to work on. We'll call him up when he's ready

I think we figured out the 4th of July is about the latest he can be for a super 2 deadline. Past that, I would bet when Todd Frazier goes, Moncada comes up.

Not a bad post. If he's a strikeout machine in the minors and doesn't walk, you better wait til he gets on a hot tear at the minimum before you bring him up. MLB pitchers, even as bad as they are in 2017, know how to strike out our free swinging strikeout candidates. If Moncada is a strikeout machine, wait til he gets on a hot streak at least or let him stay in the minors for a few more years. Our fans seem to love prospects than MLB players.

Moncada walks

We'll take a 380 OBP 2B, no?

September or a few weeks into 2018, let them figure out what they have in Sanchez and Leury, hes doing great at AAA for someone who spent virtually no time at any other stops but there is no need to push him to the bigs and start his clock.

 

*SIDE NOTE* these forum emojis are like 10 years outdated(?), is there a way to get the standard emoji keyboard on this forum or is it too old?

Kid gonna have some pressure on him. Chris Sale has been EASILY the best pitcher in baseball.

Sure, if the Cubs traded for him, they hadn't won the World Series (yet) and he was expected to be the equivalent of Kris Bryant.

 

And it's shaping up to be another interesting discussion which cap Chris Sale will choose for the Hall of Fame plaque after two more years pitching at such an even higher elite level. Another Red Sox hat will sting just a bit, but he deserves an opportunity to final pitch in the postseason.

Pressure and baseball go together. Or, are you hinting that there would be less pressure if Sox had gotten more for Sale?

1.) His K% is at 27%

2.) He has played 5 weeks above A+ prior to this season

3.) Over the last 28 days, his slash line is .273/.409/.477/.886

4.) Prior to yesterday's game, he was sporting a 132 wRC+

5.) He is really good and is playing really well in AAA

Can we retroactively get Devers now, too?

 

Greg hates that trade!!!

No s***. He entered this year, his age 21 year, with like 100 PA above high A. Other than the two weeks before and after his thumb injury, he's been raking. Even when he slumped, he was still taking a ton of walks. By most accounts he has improved his defense at 2B up to where it would be passable in MLB.

 

He has remained #1 on most prospect lists despite having literally a hundred or so guys that could have passed him. Scouts love him. Saber guys love him. There's no reason not to love him. There's no reason to think he hasn't lived up to expectations.

 

Some of you guys need to relax.

September 1 if then. Still decent chance not until 2018.

Yeah, I should've said the AL, I guess.

Scherzer is definitely the best pitcher in baseball so far.

I would say Sale has been better but there's a good argument for both guys.
