Moncada's salary balanced against his actual production is a reason you couldn't trade him for anything. There, gave ya another. April 3 my man.

You telling me Andrus couldn't play third as well as Moncada can? Honestly I don't know where Moncada should be playing. And this past situation at second base, nothing says Moncada simply improved in the field in general since that small sample size snapshot in his career, and could play second base passably, where his occasional power would make him even more valuable. Sacrificing power at the altar of defense for third basemen is not a widespread model for sure. It would be very easy to replicate. Team don't do that for a reason. Power is that reason

i've never been anti-Moncada per say. Just that he shouldn't be playing third.

I mean, you can play a random light hitting shortstop at third. Moncada isn’t special in his play. Power at a power position is important. He just doesn’t belong at third base with his lack of power.

He’s sort of ramped it up before as the season unfolds. But yeah…

I mean….he is pre and post-excusing “Injuries definitely had an effect on my performance the last couple of years, but I can’t blame it all on the injuries. Especially this year, the past is the past. If I stay healthy, I’m going to be able to perform.”

So for those that have seen all Colas’ ABs, why is he not hitting lately. Do we have a problem? Edit: Oh I see that he just had a couple hits yesterday. Never mind the question probably unless there are any ideas what went on before that?

Correct. Not injured all the time. Only appears injured.

Wondering if Colas has been seeing different pitches lately

Wrong thread.

Long Ribs?

I really couldn’t see what the issue is. Maybe ran into the other guy’s elbow

Whats your name? Colas. Oscar Colas.

I mean, he never really panned out at third base with the bat, which is more i9mportant. Should have been put at second base and left there long ago to get power in the lineup. It's a mess.

well, theres a reason they should't play second basemen and light hitting shortstops at 3rd base. Need that power, sorry to say.

offense is more importance than defense at 3rd.

Tony was spotted near an executive suite taking notes

Can't possibly imagine guys like Ricky Henderson and Vince Coleman at first base with a pitch clock and a 3 times rule

Andrus said of Colas: "He has an opportunity to break camp with us" The playersand fans expect it. With all the organization has put everyone through, the Sox owe the fans and the players one, to for once, do the right thing.

Good for Sheets. A first baseman, to play first base. Good on the Sox to actually display him there.

Have we met?

Oscar Colas: f*** you, service time.
