SoxAce Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I don't mind us kicking Houston's ass. I can't stand their fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still annoyed at them for not adding to their starting rotation either in the offseason or at the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Moncada is quieter in the pre-pitch routine but approach, load and hip turn wise (open stance quick direct load, violent hips) they are very similar. Pretty swings from both. Moncada hopefully can one day get there from the right side as well, or at least close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me Moncada looks like a dead ringer in the field as well. It's funny how athletic he is on the bobbles, great hand eye but his lower half needs work. He has zero technique and footwork right now. It is all instinct and no skill at this point in the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all instinct and no skill at this point in the field. instinct will take you a long way at 2B. And skill? He has skill. You can teach footwork. I wanted to mention it earlier but didn't 'cause it was too tangential but unlike TA, Moncada has soft hands. Moncada's feet get in his way, just like TA, but unlike TA, Moncada can cradle a ball. Similar to Yolmer except Yolmer is juts as textbook as it gets fundamentals wise. I'm high on TA long term defensively as well, for different reasons.
