Moniak vs Marsh

[BTH]

One theory I've had that I heard Eno Sarris talking about on the Rates & Barrels podcast today is that maybe the Angels determined that they couldn't fix Marsh offensively, which helped prompt their decision to move him.

It makes sense, considering the Angels have had a hard time developing hitters on their own. The hitters that have developed as Angels have mainly been guys with freak talent (Trout, Ohtani) or guys who got help from outside the organization (Ward).

I will be shocked if Marsh doesn't have a much better career than Moniak.  To me that means Marsh will be at least a solid everyday player who might turn a corner offensively but will at least be an excellent defender.  I see Moniak as a 4th OFer at best.  

Alex Ochoa was merely a 4th outfielder, and we got him 20 years ago exactly. And you know how that played out!

(Meaning literally everyone on the current roster didn't win a ring in 2002 either)

Marsh is batting .200 for Philly.

The OP is a false premise. From a team building perspective, you aren’t trading one for the other. These trades happened at different times, and the Angels were mulling an offer from Toronto for Syndergaard. I’m guessing, based on rumors, that involved taking Syndergaard and Iglesias but asking the Angels to pay down a chunk of it, maybe include a low level prospect. Perry seemingly decided to not have to pay (which is good) and get a 4th OF with a good amount of upside and a low level prospect to replace Marsh, along with being free and clear of Iglesias while getting a possible rotation piece. 

Also, it’s not like Moniak is 27 and hopeless. He’s Marsh’s age with less MLB at bats, but had a good spring and a very good AAA season. Worth a shot to see if there’s more there.

You're not wrong, but Moniak does replace Marsh on the depth chart.

Why do I feel like the depth chart is when Triumph the insult dog went to the bon jovi concert and saw the set list?

Go to 5:20

I look forward to Moniak's first big slump when everyone is calling to DFA him.

This is also known as pretty much his entire major league career.

hits two hrs in his first four games doubling his career total.  

bunts the ball off his hand and has to come out of the game.  

Mickey Moniak is officially an Angel.

Gene Autry, Tim Salmon and the kid from Angels in the outfield could hold hands, and shit out a baby shaped like a Rally Monkey. And it still wouldn't be as "Angel" as this. 

 

The only thing that can make this more us is that if somehow, him breaking his fingers makes him need Tommy John.
