Can We Please Get "The Password" Up Here, ASAP!

[king koji]

His numbers are too good to waste in AAA. Bat-To-Ball man. Mini-Manny. Get him up here like we had Bogaerts for a 2013 Title Run.

To DH?

If and when Mayer returns, he'll be squeezed.

Too bad he or any of our OF'ers can't play 1B. (Good thing Rafaela can play 2B & SS.)

I read somewhere Password was working out at 1b.  I can’t remember where, which makes me think it’s possible I wrote it somewhere and then read it. And if that’s the case, I’m not sure that counts…

But if you sing it, and hear it in the woods, it's an echo.

Unless a tree falls in front of me and I don’t hear it.  Because that will then prove I’m a nobody…

He has yet to play a game there in 2025, so he has not advanced to that point, yet. Campbell has played some 1B, so he seems like a possible 2025 solution.

BTW, I see Romy starting at 1B over Toro vs a RHP. ABOUT TIME!

Romy is hitting RHPs okay (.729) and does even better when he starts games vs RHPs (.931 v .889 when he starts v a lefty.)

I'd demote Toro, call up Campbell and try a Campbell-Romy platoon at 1B for a while. Romy could play 2B, a few games, too.

(Very nice play at 2B by Rafaela, last night.)

Campbell's athletic and 6' 3. With his power potential, he could make an ideal first baseman.

Maybe his rise was too quick, along with the presence of Casas, that the Red Sox didn't try KC there sooner.

I realize KC was hitting worse than Toro has been for a couple months, but I think we should roll the dice.

2nd option: play Romy at 1B full time.

Mayer's uncertainty to play necessitates more Romy at 2B.

We all know we want Ceddanne in center for the stretch run as much as possible -- even if that causes a seven-player platoon for six spots in the batting order: LF-CF-RF-DH-2B-1B... Anthony-Duran-Rafaela-Abreu-Yoshida-Romy-Toro... puff huff poooffff. 

Everyone would get one day off a week -- from the starting line-up, that is. Many of them would probably be used off the bench to pinch hit later in the game, anyway.

I hate the idea or moving Rafaela out of CF, but with our loaded OF and Rafaela a plus defender at 2B, too, I think he should play 2B FT. Maybe Romy can play 2B to give CR a day off, but I'd use Romy at 1B FT, or call Campbell up to play 1B v RHPs.

Garcia and Campbell should spend the remainder of '25 in AAA mashing and working on defense. No reason to force them into part time positions and potentially struggle down the stretch.
