Yankee announcers made it a point to say tha Moncada was rated higher than Torres?

They love assuming opposing players are done developing in their first full seasons

but he wasn't, if I recall.

to be fair, one team is up there with the Cubs/Red Sox in terms of developing position players.  The other team is just about the worst in baseball.

Have a feeling this perception is about to change next season when Eloy is posting rookie of the year numbers and TA/Moncada are a solid middle infield combo

Did Engel steal from of the hall of fame retirees talent or something like the Monstars?

I was f***ing harsh on Engel but he’s been remarkable. He deserves to begin 2019 as the starting CF’er. With his defense and speed, if he hits just .250 he’s valuable as hell.

Well that was dirty by Engel

I'd venture to guess Eloy is pretty much unfuckable development wise.

Moncada was the #1 prospect in baseball. Did Torres ever get there?

Engel is the man

Moncada was the higher rated prospect. He is also over a year older.

Moncada=31 million dollar signing bonus.

Torres= 1.7 million signing bonus.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Tanaka has our Sox swinging at everything outside of the strike zone.

He had made Davidson look bad for sure

He’s performed much better since the trade though. Sox get no credit for that?

Torres was #2 at one point, ahead of Eloy and behind Acuna.

Btw, do we have a way to insert a Spanish n with the tilde? I'm a grammar person and it bugs me.

Just realized Rodon only has 1 K? Haven't been watching, so what is up with that?

How do you like that "Palka Smash"?

Not a lot of downward movement on his slider.  Pitching to contact with his fastball on inner half.

4 infield hits

Yo yo going to come up big here

That plate umpire is just terrible.

Yoan!

Woo

Boom! Stud!

A really encouraging stretch lately for our middle infield. Good to see 

And suddenly Carlos is in line for the win ?
