Weird that the most talented prospect in the organization who MANY describe as right on the cusp is going to spend significant time in the minors. If he's as good as advertised, this will definitely cost wins. Also seems like a young talent like that would attract a lot more fans than a team with Quintana as the main attraction.

As someone who wants the Sox to remain in Chicago, I hope they bring him up sooner rather than later.

Moncada is going to be fine.

Giolito is the one I would be concerned about.

Frank, I'm hoping we can have a more cordial relationship this baseball season. That's why I'm looking out for the Sox best interests. Someone has to ask these questions.

And fuck Giolito and Kopech too. We traded for these busters so we can wait three years to hope one will be 3/4 as good as Sale.

:lol: This thread is a complete failure. Bryant was the best player on the Cubs when they sent him down. Moncada is a guy who strikes out 66% of the time.

Who mentioned Bryant? This is the Sox section!!!

LIEING LEASH create another idiotic parity thread and then denieing it??

Yikes, the vitriol is strong in this thread. How about we tone it down. Moncada will be a stud. Looks like the Sox are finally learning how to play clock games. Smart move. Beats the MLB service time they wasted on both Rodon and Fullmer, in lost seasons.

You're not going to start making proclamations like that based on 8 games-worth of data, are you?

The point is he's not ready to hit in the big leagues. There's no comparison to him and Bryant when the Cubs manipulated his service time. Also, not many guys "learn" how to make contact/control the strikezone. This is a 150+ K guy at best. Maybe he has enough power to mitigate all those missed swings. We'll see.

Bob, we're counting on you this year. Things are gonna get way worse than this. Can Cubbie Corner rely on you?

:lol: This thread is a complete failure.

As a Cubs fan I remember the lean years, 2012-2014.... yeah I was a flippant idiot.

It was over a hundred lean years, and you're still an idiot.

You just have to temper your expectations. I have no doubt that if this guy puts the work in, he can be a poor man's Javy Baez.

Regarding the White Sox Forum

My posts will only be of the positive nature. I wish them well in the rebuild. I will encourage them to be patient. As a Cubs fan I remember the lean years, 2012-2014, man that was rough. And I will be honest, I did not always see the forest through the trees, yeah I was a flippant idiot at times, wanting Theo to sign Nelson Cruz so they could win 3 more meaningless games. I wish I had been more patient,"a better fan". My way to make it up is to help these guys through it, and assure them, better days ahead.

Regarding the Cubs forum

You bet your ass I will have the back of Cub's nation. See last week, when Good Dolphin, Joe and PRICK tried trolling the Heyward thread. They were swiftly put back in their place.
