It hasn't worked out for Moniak up to this point. Moniak, although physically bigger than Carroll, hasn't seen his power develop at all. That said, the Phillies keep pushing him up the chain on schedule.
literally just thought today that maybe moniak’s lack of progress and similar game was an issue for carroll.
