It all depends on how good of a hitter he becomes. Both Robert and Moncada have best player in baseball ceilings. They both ooze talent out of every orifice of their bodies. Ceiling =/= most likely outcome. It is mildly annoying that Renteria won't let Moncada steal bags. Edited April 5, 20196 yr by Jack Parkman

His most likely outcome is a guy who went 40/40 twice? And his high outcome is the best player in the past 50 years? Yeesh, setting that bar high boys. Edited April 5, 20196 yr by Look at Ray Ray Run

Yeesh, setting that bar high boys. For Moncada and Robert, absolutely they both have that ceiling. Both could do 40/40 easily. They might be the most talented pair of young players on any team in baseball. They both have the talent to be generational players. It is up to them to prove it. If they have a manager than lets them run, I don't doubt that should both Moncada and Robert hit at the MLB level they'll both put up at least 1 40-40 season. Edited April 5, 20196 yr by Jack Parkman

There's nothing he can't do exceptionally well. Tool wise, Robert reminds me of Mike Cameron. Off the top of my head, I can't think of another IF comp for Moncada.

April 5, 20196 yr I've always thought of Robert was fairly comparable to Byron Buxton as a prospect. I guess a grade better power and worse defense and arm.

There's nothing he can't do exceptionally well. I agree with this. Robert might not be as good of a hitter and won't have as good of an eye, but he has massive power to make up for it. The only difference in their skilsets is that, otherwise they're pretty similar.

Moncada could be damn near Trout levels. I don't think either Moncada or Robert will hit .340 in a season but for Moncada his ceiling is as close to Trout as you can get. I could see Robert hitting 50+ HR one day, while I think Moncada would top out in the 40-45 range. Edited April 5, 20196 yr by Jack Parkman

April 5, 20196 yr Just now, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Bonds was great at the start but he did not start his career as well as Trout. Sure, but I don't think Trout will end his career like Bonds either.

April 5, 20196 yr Men-dink with a 3 run bomb. Charlotte lots of runs being scored. EDIT: Collins hits a solo and they go back to back Edited April 5, 20196 yr by Scoots

While you may be right, that is an extremely skeptical viewpoint that even though I don't necessarily think you're wrong, I think that they'd all eventually get caught. Masking indefinitely runs into issues, one slip up and you're busted. Edited April 5, 20196 yr by Jack Parkman
