I like Jacko's ideas but I don't see this team making those moves. I think the org is too dedicated to Papi to declare him a platoon hitter for one.
For two, moving the two big FA acquisitions that way would sort of be admitting that their plan was f***ed up and a mistake.
Believe it or not, teams, especially the Sox, allow egos to interfere with sound reasoning.
At least that is what I suspect.
I will not be surprised if Nap is gone at the end of the year and one of the two big FA is playing 1st base next year.
Obviously if Papi is gone Hanley would replace him at DH.
Has anyone looked at Hanleys arms? They are f***ing massive. Bigger and more defined than Papi's. His whole body is way too big to be a middle infielder. No wonder he sucks at it.
