I'm not trying to toot my own horn. I've been wrong too many times to do that.

 

I've always felt Devers should play 1B/DH, and we could have signed Moustakas to play 3B for the same money Moreland is making.

 

While Moose is no longer a clear plus defender, he's much better than RD.

 

We better hope Devers' learning curve is short.

 

You did and I said he would have bad nights but this is alarming ....he certainly looks like a 1b DH prototype at this point ...but help me here ...why the hell not get moose ? My God this was like predicting rain in Oregon ...

Devers issues at 3B may be part of the fallout from not having Butterfield with the team. It's said that he's the absolute best at working with infielders to perfect their footwork and positioning.

Cora should be able to help him out.

Cora should be able to help. But it is also going to take Rafe taking thousands of grounders and making thousands of throws. Cora is not a magician and Rafe's issues at 3rd are ingrained. Bad habits have to be broken.

Devers performance tonight - or rather the lack of it - is ironic after the way Cora bragged about him in the pregame show.

(and as I'm typing this Devers makes a nice play on a deflected ball! LOL

He is physically capable. Plays like that prove it. But the routine plays are a real problem for Rafe. Any play where he has time to screw it up, he has a tendency to screw it up.....except throwing where one of his flaws is that he often double pumps throws that other 3rd basemen don't have to double pump. Not sure what that is about.

Swihart should be in after that at bat he's lost
Moreland should get some more ABs. He's in a good groove right now. Hanley can DH and J.D. play LF.
