pcq Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Agents do not want their guys playing hurt. Hawk claims this is a factor that comes up. Being laid back is not a crime, just ask for his best effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurtCG Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 This dude is having major back issues. Maybe he will be back by all star break? What a complete and total bust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almagest Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Moncada has a herniated disc that's impinging on a nerve in his back. That's a bad injury. No clue when he'll be back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame. I really hoped we were going to see 2019 or 2021 Moncada again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes still lousy on defense, hitting .213 and dropping, and striking out 35% of the time. Well see how he looks after getting this extended playing time.

Balta1701 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 That would be the kind of injury that would explain an awful lot of his 2022 performance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 @ptatc Herniated disc, care to share your wisdom here for a prognosis? This seems common for 3B... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have signed that contract from the White Sox's side if he had a potentially long term back issue. This would be the risk you take in signing those contracts early, that if you do it 6 or 7 times, eventually someone you sign turns out to have a debilitating condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeCredeYes Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I'll defer to PTATC for his expert opinion, but anecdotally I've had a disk slip a few times in my life, numb leg(s) and all. Resolved itself with increased walking and abdominal strength building exercises and not sleeping on my stomach, has not flared up in probably 8 years now. I'm sure it depends how bad it is, but not necessarily a season ender for folks with a normal pain tolerance, Yoan might be a diff story however . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 If Moncada has been dealing with since last year, it’s wild to me this is the first we are hearing of it.  We obviously don’t know, but nothing would really shock me with this team regarding injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
