Talkin', Walkin', Dancin' and Singin'

Well, Tim Anderson and Yoan Moncada sure are making the early days of spring training mighty interesting with the White Sox. Let’s hope it doesn’t come back to bite them. Anderson let the world know yesterday that, at least on paper, “We are way more athletic than them,” “them” being the Twins, the 2020 AL Central champs, “and that’s just true facts.” Good to know. Not that Anderson was finished. No, he went on to say, “We have a pretty good shot of [putting a] whoopin’ on them.” The thing about Anderson is his talk tends to motivate his walk, which, in this case, should come out to a .300-plus season and being part of the MVP conversation. I certainly hope so because not only do we have Anderson talking but Moncada singing…and dancing. Moncada recently recorded and released a music video, “Desaste Personal,” with Latin stars El Chacal and Lenier. How to put this? Well, at this stage in his career, Justin Timberlake certainly wouldn’t be doing this, and ditto Beyonce raised to the nth power. Maybe Moncada will get a rookie pass, or not. Let’s just say nobody in the video, especially the bikini-clad women, comes off as a three dimensional character. The Sox third baseman says he’s going to use the song for his walk-up music this year, in which case I can only hope that the title doesn’t work better as prophecy. Some stuff just doesn’t need to be said, or sung.
