Oh great, our cleanup hitter is hitting .160. 

He's living on borrowed time. He's going up against a crappy LHP. If he can't start mashing ASAP, he won't last long. It will be either Collins or if you believe the reports, Vaughn. 

They may be giving him just a few more games and then cut bait.

Cool cool cool.

Two things should be really obvious. 

#1-  The Sox believe that even a reduced percentage of Moncada is well ahead of a 100% Ryan Goins.

#2- Yolmer Sanchez was signed for a reason.  Once Madrigal comes back, I wouldn't be shocked to see Mendick shift over to 3rd, Madrigal take back 2B, and Yolmer take Moncada's roster spot for a 10 day stint.

This is the key, yes. I was expecting Madrigal up tonight and Mendick over at 3rd, give Moncada four days off, wonder why that isn't the case today.

But the Yolmer up to put Moncada on the IL is not something I had considered.
