Jack Parkman Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: What is happening? Has it been so long since the Sox competed that people have forgotten how to act and are being serious when talking concern about 18 ST AB's? Everyone should take Moncada's ST stats with a grain of salt every year. He's a repetition/feel based hitter and every time he got hurt it would take him 5-10 games to get his mojo back. Talk to me if he's still scuffling at the end of ST. Edited March 5, 2020 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I qualified my comments by admitting that limited Spring Training stats are not very meaningful, Moncada's completely underwhelming performance may not help his negotiating position. His offense has been completely absent, in his first 18 at bats. He isn't even making hard contact. He's healthy, been in camp the whole time, and even showed up early. I hope that he gets going soon. I know that I shouldn't over react, but he does look pretty lost, at the plate. There will be many times, during the season, when even great hitters will go through such slumps, but I'd like to think that it would at least be against really good pitching, not a bunch of Minor League arms. If he had a longer track record, I'd be much less concerned, but he looks more like the 2018 version, than the 2019 version, especially his reversion back to taking close pitches, with 2 strikes. Again, I don't get overly optimistic about a guy having a great Spring, considering the circumstances, but I'd like to see the best players giving a better account of themselves, than what Yoan has been doing. It's spring training. None of this matters. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Friday Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 If I remember right, Quintana struggled while his extension was being discussed. Maybe something similar where he’s just a little distracted. But more likely it’s typical meaningless spring training stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
