The only business model the Sox know of has backfired and basically crippled this rebuild.
Early long term contracts to TA, Moncada, Eloy have not paid off.
His head is not in this.
I guess if they feel obligated to carry Elvis on the roster, might as well start using him at SS and give Tim a loooong break.
And to further disagree with your thought here, Tim Anderson was never the top prospect in the game nor expected to be the cornerstone star for this franchise. Nor did he sign a 5 year $70 million contract, one of the highest paid players on this team.
This is why Moncada is a punching bag to some of us fans.
Watching the replay, Moncada doesn't score if the ump doesn't take it in the face. That 96 MPH fastball easily bounces back off the back stop to the catcher.
a) the RBI stat is as close to useless as the Win stat for pitchers
b) he has below average power for his position, can't catch the ball, throw the ball, nor run the bases.
I stand by what I said, he sucks at baseball.
