Just thought I'd throw this topic up there to confuse folks with some baseball discussion. Moncada has had a nice first week, and it's nice to see after watching Rosebowl on Facebook all winter bitching about how awful he is. Would be nice if he can keep this up.

I like what I've seen so far this season from him.

Re: Moncada hasn't sucked
Lemme guess...he didn't put up Babe Ruth type numbers last year and Rosebowl thinks he's a stiff.

That's pretty much been his last 6 months of commentary on Facebook's Sox page.

Re: Moncada hasn't sucked
Rosebowl wasn't wrong, he did suck. 217 K's in 578 ABs for a .375 K average and an OPS of .715. Does anyone know if anyone has had a higher K average? Where's Roger when you need him?SoxIlliniRob wrote:cream919 wrote:Lemme guess...he didn't put up Babe Ruth type numbers last year and Rosebowl thinks he's a stiff.

That said, he was only 23 and his numbers look great this year. K rate is way down. I may have to start watching again.

Re: Moncada hasn't sucked
Even for all those bad numbers, Moncada somehow managed a WAR of around 2 or 2.2, meaning he was somehow productive.

Speaking of Davis, he's like 0-55 so far this year, with Palka not far behind.

You DO ned to start watching again. Hit two HRs yesterday-one from each side. Nice easy looking swing-and the ball rocketed out of the park!jaywit wrote:Rosebowl wasn't wrong, he did suck. 217 K's in 578 ABs for a .375 K average and an OPS of .715.
