Critical Eye


Clare called the other day to ask, “Have you seen that clip of Yoan Moncada hitting?” No, I said, “why?”  “He’s got a loopy swing hitting left handed.  I don’t like it.”  So says a girl who ought to be a hitting coach.  I’m serious.  “He popped a ball up taking BP.  That’s not good.  Who’s the catcher?”  Zach Collins.  “He’s got a better swing.”

I want Moncada, the centerpiece of the Chris Sale deal, to work out, but if he doesn’t or underwhelms from the left side, I’ll know who to thank for the insight.  And, if she’s wrong, hey, that should put her in good standing with a front office that thought signing Adam Dunn and Adam LaRoche made sense.
