Who has the better career? I think both will be good, one will be great though. My puck is Jimenez, this guy looks like a beast.

Apperently, Torres is the answer as he is the only player worth more than 1 World Series in the bank.

You have seen neither play any significant amount of time. Neither have any of the guys who will answer.

I haven't seen much of either, true...however I heard 2 guys this week on the radio both say that Jimenez is the better man, both called him " can't miss" both these guys watch baseball for a living.

I would put both in the same tier when guessing their MLB potential, but I'd have no way of saying who I think will be better. Both have great tools. Both have current holes in their game.

If Moncada gets rid of the swing-and-miss, or at least minimizes it, he'll be an MVP caliber player. I doubt that ever happens though. I know very little about Eloy Jimenez, I'm sure he'll have a long incredible career basking in the glory of the generous strike zones afforded all Cubs players.

Is that the angle in 2017?

I love Carnicerias Jimenez in West Chicago. They make a great carnitas.

Moncada has the higher floor. Jimenez has the higher ceiling. If Moncada can stay at 2B and be passable defensively, he will have the better career. If he's a butcher at 2B, then Jimenez will have the better career.

Most people seem to agree Moncada's ceiling is multiple MVP winner. Not sure how you can get much higher than that for ceilings.

Think of all the wear-and-tear you would have saved on both your keyboard and your fingers if you just would have typed, "I'm an idiot," instead of what you posted.
It would have accomplished the same thing.

When I read this post, I said to myself, it seems like this guy's only purpose is to insult people. A quick glance at your posts shows that four of your last five posts were insults, with nothing clever or funny about them. I sure hope that when I am 62, I have better things to do.

I liked the post. A great retort to someone saying someone just needs to hit the ball when they swing the bat.

How did you know I was 62? Stalker?
That said, I don't care how old you are, with over 30,000 posts you prove that you don't have anything better to do.

Just another terrible response, complete with another lame insult. I'm sure that nobody is shocked.
