Red Sox prospects daily: Yoan Moncada is mashing

Boston's prize from the 2014-2015 international signing period is starting to put things together at the plate.

Low-A Greenville: Yoan Moncada, 2B

You've probably been a little impatient with Yoan Moncada's debut season. It's okay, that's expected considering the hype attached to his record signing bonus and the number of teams who were willing to sacrifice the next two years of international signing periods in order to get him into their system. The teams going for him -- Red Sox included -- weren't promising him a large bonus for what he'd do over the first month of his pro career, though: they were trying to sign Moncada because of what he could become once he his tools were able to translate into on-field production.
