The normal stuff other players can play through. A foulball off his leg takes him out of the game and has him on the bench the next day. That's what people are referring to. It's a spring training game...soon after we had the Eloy injury...I'm not sure coming out of the game and not playing the next day were his choices. He's lucky he got to finish his at-bat and wasn't removed due to "an abundance of caution." We're lucky he wasn't pulled so we could witness the mammoth homer by the "soft" guy that hobbled around after fouling a ball off his shin.

Tbh, if you put me and Moncada in an octagon, I'm betting on myself. He may have more muscle, but that won't stop him from getting taken to the ground and getting out-techniqued. He's always very injury prone. Moncada would make you stand and trade. It would be a Disastre Personal for you. OTOH if it was Yermin I bet you'd pull guard and give him your back.

Leftfield should not be a challenging position for an athletic guy like Lamb. it’s not like anyone is expecting him to be a gold glover. Sox seem fairly committed To AV in left field though, and I think if he proves himself to be suitable out there that’s a pretty good development for the future.?? They have to be hoping Vaughn proves capable enough so they never have to give Eloy a glove again right?
March 30, 20214 yr 149/162 132/162 52/60 Idk man, I'm not that concerned about Moncada's toughness or lack there of. Edited March 30, 20214 yr by mqr

I'm saying this normally happens during the season with him. Not just recently.

If you're Mendick, you should just ask for your release if they bring back Yolmer. Leury can play the infield. Moncada/TA/Madrigal have holds on the 3 spots. Lamb know the back up to Moncada. They already brought in Tim Beckham who while an afterthought to many (his suspension doesn't help), he was a target of the Sox going into the offseason. Adding another utility infield type would just show they don't believe in Mendick in any insignificant way.

April 1, 20214 yr This topic has run it's course, but I just wanted to chime in now that Lamb has made the team that he makes the team better. I'd much rather have Lamb than Mendick on the bench, because Lamb's bat can be useful, as pointed out above. He hit 3rd for Oakland in the playoff game that knocked us out of the postseason. You don't have to look at stats from 4-5 years ago. Just look at last season. Small sample size, but he's not going to get a ton of ABs anyway. He will get some, and should do well with them. Plus, if Moncada gets dinged up and misses a week, the offense doesn't have to go in the tank.

He was consistently hitting the ball hard and putting up good at bats. If we can get Oakland Lamb coming off the bench for us, that'd be a great depth piece to have. Edited April 1, 20214 yr by chw42

April 2, 20214 yr Author I would have preferred Lamb (or Yermin) in Leury's spot last night in the 9th.
