All-Star Futures Game 2016: 5 biggest prospects

1. Yoan Moncada (Red Sox), Second Baseman – World Team

It’s never been any secret that the Boston Red Sox have one of the best minor league systems in baseball seemingly perpetually. And while that may be used to trade for a starting pitcher leading up to the MLB Trade Deadline, they have the best bargaining chip in baseball in second baseman Yoan Moncada, who will be playing for the World Team at the 2016 MLB All-Star Futures Game.

The Cuban infielder first made waves around baseball circles when he landed a $31.5 million signing bonus with Boston, but he’s looked every bit worth it through his minor league career at just 21 years old.

Just this season alone playing in 16 games with the Portland Sea Dogs in Double-A, Moncada has been absolutely mashing. The youngster is hitting .328 with a 1.023 OPS to go along with five home runs, three doubles, two triples, 15 RBIs, and four stole bases. Yes, he’s 100 percent able to do it all at the plate and is equally as adept when it comes to how he handles the leather at second base.

Moncada could be on the move before the end of July in a trade, but fans will have a chance to get a look at him on Sunday and will almost surely start to hope that their team trades for this seeming can’t-miss prospect.
