How do we know what he would have done over a full season? Moncada had a 95 wRC+ in 2020. That is bad. Edited May 25, 2022 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 1 minute ago, Jack Parkman said: Um, That was fueled by his defense. Did you see his offensive numbers in 2020? While he was dealing with covid, and it's no joke he still had a bad year offensively even if he had a valid excuse. He has a 122 wRC+ since the start of 2019. That is higher than Nolan Arenado and Kris Byrant over the same time span. Last season he was 3rd in the AL in OBP. In a down 2020, he was almost a league average hitter despite the fact it looked like he was about to pass out on the field Also, we (rightfully) lament how bad the Sox are on defense all of the time, but then ignore the fact that Moncada is one of the few good defensive players on the roster. People shouldn't get to have it both ways, but for whatever reason with Moncada, they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Twins pitching development is getting a lot better. Ryan looks like a big win for them, Ober is solid, Duran looks incredible out of the pen, and they seem to be doing good stuff at the minor league level. it's not ideal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is year 6 with the Sox. Two of the last 3 years he was very good, and his "bad" season was close to league average offensively, in a 2 month season, when he very clearly was negatively being affected by covid. I don't understand using Yoan's early career struggles against him. That's not relevant at this point. No one was discounting TA the last few years because he couldn't hit early in his career.

He was actually pretty good offensively his rookie season until fading a bit late...quite similar to Beckham as a rookie. It was the second seasons that were terribly disappointing. Well, Gordon's entire career, but that's another story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 That was a pitch Yoan used to drive to left center. Now it’s just a weak pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
