“I’ve always liked being a leadoff hitter because I get to see more pitches and better pitches,” said Moncada, who went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in the Sox’s 7-6 loss. “Because of the type of player I am, I can take advantage of that position. I was the leadoff man last year in Triple A (Charlotte) and I did well and I liked it. If I have to be down in the three, four or five spot, I can do it, too, but I feel more comfortable and I have more confidence in the leadoff spot.”
