I'm guessing they'll wait for the rosters to expand before giving him the call but I'm not certain. Doubt he spends any time in AAA

Not starting tonight, but the Sox are going up against a Lefty (LeBlanc).

Could play tomorrow against the righty Iwakuma

I don't think they call up Moncada this year, he'll be up after super 2 next year

I know he's got nice numbers at AA, but he's striking out like 31% of the time. Don't think Boston would call him up tell he gets that under control

They won't. He's been having some defensive issues of late, and they haven't even moved his position off 2nd yet which is obviously taken.

Pinched hit for Brentz in the top of the 7th after the Mariners brought in a right handed pitcher. Grounded out to second base.

According to my sources in Cincinnati, this kid is the biggest douche in baseball as well, which I'm actually excited about the potential there

Would be cool to have a former hog as a big time MLB hitter, had plenty of pitchers do well but not many hitters lately.

Looks like he hasn't had a haircut since college lol

Moncada will be called up for the post season as a pinch runner. Think Dave Roberts, that's the reason he was on the roster, really nothing else.

As for Benintendi, he did a satellite interview with Finebaum his last year at Arkansas. He had on sunglasses indoors and his "Boys" we're in the background laughing and giggling the whole time. He was conducting the interview as if he was Nuke LaLoosh. He either has a great sense of humor or he's a total tool. The Sox Coaches and writers keep saying he's a great guy...so who really knows.

Votto is an awesome, hilarious douche.

I don't know much about benintendi but he doesn't seem well liked at all in this area where he grew up.

David Price needs to get his shite together. Boston will eat him alive.

So Price gave up 7 hits and 4 runs and its not his fault because the guy that gave 1 hit and 1 run was to blame?

I've always gotten the impression that Benintendi was shy. Never noticed anything bad.
