Remember when the Philadelphia Phillies selected Mickey Moniak with the first pick of the first round in the 2016 MLB amateur draft?
Well, I think all Phillies fans do, and it's not for any of the right reasons. Moniak, who was very highly regarded coming out of high school, was expected to be one of the better players in Major League Baseball when Philadelphia took a chance on him.
Unfortunately, things obviously didn't work out in Philadelphia, though it's important to look at what he's done throughout his entire career, as it's not crazy to say that he's actually turned into a very good player at the big-league level.
Of course, we could factor some of that into the equation when playing at Coors Field, but we still have to give him some credit for what he's been able to do over the past few years. That's why it was interesting to see his name being floated as an option for the Phillies to pursue.
