If we can get a line long enough, Story will never have to come back to Boston.

Story will return and will start.  It doesn’t hurt his case that the Sox middle infield isn’t exactly manned by the second coming of Whitaker snd Trammell. 
 

This probably applies to Kiner-Falefa as well…

I'd be more excited for Arias promotion.

I'd like to know more about his attitude.  Is he coming in thinking he'll be the last guy on the bench, or does he think vets are entitled to their old spot?

I like the IKF fit better.  If he hits, good.  But even if he doesn't, his glove will play.
