Close but not confirmed

Syndergaard was another "disappointing" Angel in "Corrupt" Arte's club -- very overrated and did a bad job!

any chance he ever gets it back? Is it just injuries? Philly has made some interesting moves but are still a clear third in the division

moniak was philly's #1 OA pick like 5-6 years ago right?

wonder if a change of scenery will get him going or if he's just a bust

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Yes, that guy. Moniak's been decent at AAA. I doubt he's more than a 4th OF though.

In 2016, yes. I'm not convinced he's going to be anything

I guess things can happen but he just can’t hit. Hard to see the Angels system figuring that out. The Phillies were never eager to give him a shot, which says a lot given he was a 1OA pick.

I'd very much bet on bust. He's never really performed anywhere - basically an outfielder with no plate discipline, only marginal power, average speed, low batting averages. He's hit well in 24 games across three minor league levels this year, but that's a tiny sample size bouyed by hitting nearly .400 against AA/A pitching.

Moniak was off to a good start with the Angels and proceeds to break his finger bunting last night

This reads like a Trump tweet.

That's the act, anyway.
