It doesn't have to be Moncada. Burger has as much fWAR as Vaughn, Sheets, Moncada and Eloy combined so his defense at 3rd has not substantially subtracted from his hitting . It probably would eventually but Burger likes DH unlike Eloy .All four of those guys played yesterday. Eloy and Sheets combined to hit into 3 DP's. I understand that Eloy can be the most productive hitter but he has to get his bat going. Moncada could've had a 2nd hit yesterday. A lot of hitters would've beat out the one that he dogged it on.
Eloy: 0-4, 2 DP Essentilly created 6 outs
Moncada: 1-4 3 outs created
Vaughn: 0-4 4 outs created
Sheets: 1-3 1 DP 4 outs created
0 walks , 2/15
That's 17 outs yesterday by those 4 or 5.2 innings worth. That left 3.1 innings for TA, Benintendi, Robert ,Romy and Zavala to score more runs than the Yankees. Luckily Romy was on base for 1 of the 2 Zavala HR's.
The Sox did not have a runner in scoring position all game !
