So why the hate on Moniak?

He's had an ops of .925 in the minors this year. 

You were right on the Moniak.

I actually like Moniak. I'm in the minority on that.

I know there was no real reason to keep Syndegaard but I might have just kept him and tried to sign him…meh….

I'd honestly rather have kept Syndergaard than watch a homeless man's Marsh man an outfield spot for at least the rest of this season.

But that doesn't count his (checks notes) .336 OPS in the majors this year. With a K rate worse than Marsh

In 46 AB.

[Angelsjunky]

Both are 40 FV prospects, according to Fangraphs. Lottery tickets, basically.

Correction... Angels receive Mickey Morandini.

You were on a roll.

Because a team trying to make the playoffs would never give someone like that more AB's

So, We traded for a worst Marsh....2nd prospect better be the real deal.

The second prospect makes Moniak look like a real deal.

Bringing his career minors OPS to a scorching .715

Then why mention it?

Because he's a #1 pick bust. Not quite Brady Aiken level, but close. At least he still has a chance at a major league career of some kind.

You're depressing me.

Another unsuccessful deadline day by the Angels

Good job

He's a bust with less than 100 AB in the majors?

Fewer

[AngelsFaninGA]

Because he's awful and has no business seeing the field on a team with any hope of contending.

 

Oh wait, the Angels don't meet that criteria and won't for the next few years. In which case you're right, I look forward to watching him do his best Joey Gallo impression out of the 5 spot for at least the rest of this year

That, two.

Its the 2200 minor league PAs that made people consider him a bust.
