Has it ever happened? Moncada/Burger & literally any competent LH OF with Pollock are so obvious but it doesn't seem like something the Sox are interested in doing at all.

I mean, they literally thought Harrison would be a good platoon partner center with Leury because he can technically bat LH. They just don’t get how platooning works.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Yoan Moncada. The plate discipline is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of advanced metrics most of his play will go over a typical baseball fan's head. There's also Yoan's defensive outlook, which is deftly woven into his wins above replacement- his hitting philosophy draws heavily from Frank Menechino, for instance. The true Sox fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of his walks, to realize that they're not base on balls- they say something deep about BASEBALL. As a consequence people who dislike Yoan Moncada truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the value in Yoan's existential catchphrase "Disastre Personal," which itself is a cryptic reference to his struggles with females off the field. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Yoan Moncada's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. ? And yes, by the way, i DO have a Yoan Moncada tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

NCsoxfan Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Old Sox players I’d put in the lineup over Moncada (maybe even at their current age): -Norberto Martin -Chris Snopek -Greg Norton -Herbert Perry -Royce Clayton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don’t get how platooning works. We're now in year 8 of (seemingly) no one in the White Sox org realizing Leury is a much better hitter against LHP than RHP. Not that he's good against either of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
