He gets a complete pass for everything to do with last season from me. But the dude acts like he's seriously injured frequently. Foul ball off his shin, hit by pitch, diving for a ball, etc. Always acts very hurt. I agree Moncada is a super elite athlete and I am not really bad mouthing him. I love the guy. But he's charmin soft. Expand 2 days ago he lined a foul ball off his shin and on the next pitch hit the ball 450 feet. Seems pretty tough to me. 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree to disagree if you want, but its a rarity when he goes a week of playing everyday without acting seriously hurt. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who watches most Sox games.
