I think the Sox should start batting Anderson and Moncada 1-2.
This gives them the most at bats and if they hit their ceilings, it's where they fit best.
Anthony Rizzo batted third instantly after the Cubs called him up. Was he the best hitter on the team? No, but the Cubs knew that his ceiling was batting third. I wasn't a fan of moving Anderson out of the lead off spot, in my opinion he should be batting there everyday. If you say that he was hurting the team and costing them games, please answer this question: What are the Sox playing for? They're rebuilding, not competing for a championship. Player development should be the team's #1 focus, especially now in this first year of a rebuild.
Also, all that speed would be fun to watch.
Andersons OBP is way too low to be leadoff. Even if he hits his ceiling he will be a bottom of the order guy when these guys get their due.
