I get the desire to have more LH bats in the lineup to counteract a RH starter.
And yes, it’s understandable because the Sox have struggled against RHP because they have been RH hitting dominant for a long time - decades, really. (We can count on one hand the number of above average LH hitters the Sox have had since 1980: Baines, Ventura, Thome, and Moncada. Maybe you can count peak Valentin and Grandal, too.)
And I’m glad the Sox seem to be addressing it organizationally by drafting and signing international amateur LH hitters like Montgomery, Kath, and Colas. And yes, it will be improved somewhat when Moncada returns.
All that said, perhaps they need to trade from their stockpile of RH hitters to acquire more LH hitters, because it’s just preposterous and pathetic that we continue to rely on Leury Garcia - who actually is worse as a LH hitter than as a RH hitter - to provide some sort of “platoon advantage.”

Hello. Been lurking here since the year 2000. Even if Rodon’s arm fell off by the All Star break his contract would have been worth it. What was it $18 M QO? He would have stayed for 2 years. If they really were pinching pennies why give Garcia 3 years $15 M when their were internal options?This losing streak would have never happened.4 3-0 1.17 23.0 38 0.83
