Yoan Moncada rockets through the minor leagues on his way to Fenway. Conceivably, the 21-year old Cuban could arrive on Yawkey Way in September of this year. After all, he's tearing up AA since his arrival—.328 average, 5 HRs, 15 RBIs, 4 SBs in just 16 games. And, in the wake of his MVP performance in the
All-Star Futures Game, Moncada made it clear that
