The great Cuban hitters, Abreu, Despaigne, Puig, Cespedes, even not so great guys like Viciedo and Miranda, dominated the league at 17-18-19. Moncada not only didn't dominate, he was decidedly average. That in a Cuban League with significantly worse pitching than when all those older guys were Moncada's age.
Moncada's performance in Cuba is pretty much in line with that of guys like Yuniesky Betancourt, Henry Urrutia and a bunch of guys who flamed out in the minors. If it wasn't that people expect him to be a top prospect in the set, I'd have him rated lower across the board.

I see what you mean, let's say he does really well this year and shows a lot of power promise, would he get his rating changed? I hope he busts since I'm a Yankees fan though
