Moncada Is Currently On Fire
As stated earlier, Yoan Moncada is currently making it look easy down in Charlotte. Last week, he won International League Offensive Player of the Week. In six games, he batted .500/.571/.818 with 1 2B, 2 Hr, 2 RBI, 8 R, 5 BB, 3K, and 1 SB. His Triple-A season slash line as of today is .345/.419/.549 with a .967 OPS.
So, it’s clear he is swinging the bat at an alarming rate, so why is he not on the South Side yet? That seems to be the question of the week, and while it might seem like he is all but ready, there are still a handful of reasons why he is still in Triple-A and not with the White Sox.
