Ritzi Mendoza started for the AL All-Star team and had a clean inning with 1K. Pedro Castellanos and Eddy Reynoso also started and both went 1-2.

It's time to move Moncada to AAA. These pitchers have no intention of throwing him strikes now.

I don't think that's right. It's pronounced like it's spelled I believe.

That's the english pronunciation of his name. No cuban alive would pronounce Moncada mohn cah dah lol, but way to be so confident about something you obviously know nothing about. |

It sounds like Jo-ann is correct. br]
I have held out hope for Trey Ball, but I am giving up. Can anyone restore a glimmer? I want to believe he could be even a 4/5 starter.

Moncada with 43 XBH so far in a little over 300 AB and he's hitting more HR now in AA ball. He's doing damage, ergo more walks. His numbers are very encouraging. It's not just on base ability and steals. He's increasingly doing damage and gaining respect.

If Moncada keeps this up he will need a position change, as he'll likely push to be on the 25 man roster(edit: next year). After all, you just can't keep him down if he keeps doing damage the way he currently is. If the Sox don't sign anyone to DH next year is that where Moncada might slide in to?

It's Yo-Ahn, like the English yo-yo. There is no sound in Spanish like the "J" as in "John". The closest is a "ch" as in Chihuahua. Funny, but I noticed a pitcher in the box scores whose name was Joan Baez. Wonder how he pronounces it.  |

This is not my opinion, it's a fact. If you listen to the video above, you can clearly hear "Jo-ann". His name is pronounced just like the pitcher you noticed in the box score. |

I think we can say with certainty that when he makes it to Boston, he'll be known as Yone Moncarder.

Don't like to prolong the matter, but you are wrong again. Yuca (plant), ya (already), yate (yacht), yo (I), yerno (son in law) all have "y" followed by a vowel. .. I have been speaking Spanish for over 40 years. Not boasting, but I should know what I'm talking about. Es verdad, amigo. PM me if you wish to discuss further. |

Spanish is spoken in many countries. In many of them, when they say "yo la tengo," they start with what sounds to us like a y sound, or a consonantal "I". But in some, the Y sounds more like a J. I just barely understand this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye%C3%ADsmo |

I am confident "y" does sound like "yuh" generally -- but I also listen to this video and can only conclude that this guy is a native Spanish speaker -- and he is not likely to be making a basic pronunciation error if the "y" is never a "J" sound. Clearly at least some branch of Spanish pronounces Yoan "Jo-ahn." Perhaps that is not how the man himself pronounces it. I say... whatever. At some point, when he is a star being interviewed, he can clear up the controversy. On a far more important point, since I am new to this board: what keeps him from having an 8 ceiling? He is clearly one of the 3-4 best prospects in baseball and at least plus in most of the major tools. I am guessing that his apparent vulnerability to left-handed pitching is the dividing line between all star and franchise player? |
