All hits are singles, he's still struck out 25% of the time and his only PA as a RHB ended with a K. Not enthused quite yet.

Let's see him get a double before anointing him.

Not that it matters even if he is great. The Sox are just building a newer, younger version of their old selves. Moncada will find himself drowning in a sea of mediocre veterans bought at the downslope of their careers the same way Sale and Eaton did. Fast forward a year and we'll be watching a new stable of veterans in the mold of Samardizja and Frazier taking the field in exchange for some of the young talent.

It'll be back to bottom 3rd farm system and bottom 3rd MLB roster in no time.

It's not the players who traded away Sale and Eaton.

They've only gotten rid of Sale, Eaton, Duke and Bourjos in the last year. In that time they also traded a top 100 ish prospect for James Shields. Players who are free agents after this year litter the roster and they are paying $12m per for a closer.

Not rebuilding.

There will be more trades.

Of course they're rebuilding. I don't know why some of you want to hit this phony narrative that they eliminated "bad clubhouse guys". I never heard any Sox player complain about Sale or Eaton. Do you want them to give away assets just to do it? They'll make the deals when the time and the return is right.

Only noteworthy trade of the last 5 months was Peter Bourjos to the Rays for cash.

So should the Sox make bad deals just to get rid of Melky, Robertson, & Frazier? Would them guys being gone despite the organziation being worse off make you and Keyser happy, America?

Melky is fine the other two have no reason to be on this team.

Why on earth would you give this front office that benefit of the doubt? They're fucking clueless.

They started rebuilding when they traded Sale. Anyone who thinks that they're just going to go along without any more moves is just goofy. I don't know if they're going to do it successfully, but they are rebuilding.

I don't know why you would think we are goofy for questioning this. Just look at the roster. Anyone who claims to know what this front office is doing is lying. As of right now it appears they are doing some type of half-assed one leg in, one leg out type of rebuild that's clearly going to fail.

The answer is trade Frazier and Robertson for whatever they can get.

Sox are better off giving those PA's to Davidson or Saladino.

Because they're not just going to dump every player for nothing. Is that what you want them to do? You have to field a team. The Cubs have made people think that rebuilding and losing on purpose are the same thing.

The roster looks similar to the 2012 Cubs. Few young guys, few veterans, MANY that are simply placeholders.

If you think Davidson and Saladino are key guys on a championship team, I'm glad you aren't doing the rebuilding.

The answer is trade Frazier and Robertson for whatever they can get. If they can't get anything just put them on waivers. Sox are better off giving those PA's to Davidson or Saladino. Robertson probably can't be moved without eating some salary, and the organizational aversion to that practice is just one of their many, many faults.
