⚾ Former Phillies top pick Mickey Moniak has already hit a homer in his brief stint with the Angels. MLBTradeDeadline NBCSPhilly
, after being asked if a fresh start out in Los Angeles will help:
"Looking back on my time in Philadelphia, I was grateful for it, given a chance as an 18-year-old kid, came up with them, debuted with them. But I think that, you know, for me, I've always been a guy that maybe takes a little bit to get comfortable at every level, and once I get comfortable, it's on from there. So, wasn't really given that opportunity there, which makes sense.
But as far as not getting a chance is concerned? The team was basically begging him to make the center field job his, and he simply never did. Sure, his major league sample size is small - just 105 plate appearances over 47 games in three years with the Phils - but racking up a .211 on-base percentage in those 105 PAs is highly concerning.
And the fact that multiple managers looked at Moniak, then looked at guys like Roman Quinn, Odubel Herrera, Adam Haseley, and others... and decided Moniak wasn't even worth plopping in center? That's not a good sign. Perhaps that'll change in Los Angeles. He smacked a home run in his second game with the Angels, his first hit with his new team.
