I heard what he said live on the radio this morning. He basically said he has trouble focusing and going spacey in the field, and then the host of the show mentioned ADD and I think Bruce alluded to hearing something along those lines, but didn't explicitly say Moncada has been diagnosed, but rather the Sox feel he acts like he has it in the field. He likened it to Starlin Castro. And this was all in reference to his defense. Edited October 14, 2018 by ChiliIrishHammock24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 The world passed Levine by a decade ago. How he's employed anywhere is beyond me. Putting stock into anything he says is unwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I don’t think what Levine said was so bad. We speculate about players all the time. Did Gordon Wittenmyer get slammed when he speculated the same thing about Starlin Castro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was trying to correlate positional thinking system required between 2B (analytical system of brain) and 3B (instinctive system) with attention span (shoutout to Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow). Its a legitimate point but was poorly expressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCsoxfan Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Based on Moncada’s social media posts, I would hope the team starts encouraging a healthy diet. He along with Robert eat like crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I heard pitching analyst Eno Sarris on a podcast this year observe that Reynaldo Lopez has frequent lapses of focus and could have ADD. He said Adderal treatment has helped many players. There are currently over 100 exemptions to players for ADD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of circumstantial evidence out there that a good chunk of those are basically a backdoor for players to get stimulants with the banning of speed.

I could actually see a case for Lopez having it because he always says in interviews that his issue in starts is his focus, which would easily correctable for a pro athlete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Actually it’s the person with ADD that gets the paradoxical calming effect from the Aderall. For non-ADD people it is a stimulant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Is this a recent diagnosis? Anyway, it's very treatable, unless the treatment is banned. Thought his D at 2b was pretty good. Liked the way he turned 2. I guess this means they'll go after Harper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His point was that 3B is reactionary, but 2B you have to worry about being a cut-off man, covering 1B, covering 2B on a steal, etc. So he theorizes that 3B requires less thinking. I wan Moncada at 3B anyway, so if that's the excuse, then fine by me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Has anyone noted that this seems to be a completely inappropriate disclosure even if it's true and that it should be considered private medical information if true as it isn't an injury?
