Yes, vs RHPs, it looks like a no-brainer, unless you want his power utilized in the 3 slot.

Ross is not a LOOGY. Career OPS against LHB .717 RHB .714

MLBTR... Red Sox reliever Carson Smith has had a setback in his recovery from 2016 Tommy John surgery, as Jen McCaffrey of MassLive.com writes. Smith was throwing off a mound a couple of weeks ago but has “had to slow down,” manager John Farrell told reporters. Smith is long tossing from 110 feet but is now two weeks removed from his most recent mound session. Boston had been targeting a June return for Smith, but a July return is now more realistic, per McCaffrey. The Red Sox have had rough luck when trading for potential setup arms; in addition to losing Smith for more than a year due to Tommy John surgery just months after trading for him, the team has yet to reap any benefit from its trade to acquire Tyler Thornburg this offseason, as Thornburg has been sidelined all season by a right shoulder impingement. CSNNE.com’s Evan Drellich tweeted recently that Farrell said on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM that Thornburg essentially needs to progress through Spring Training all over again, which would normally consist of seven to 10 appearances.

soxprospects.com... After dropping the opener, the PawSox prevailed in the regularly-scheduled contest. Brentz blasted another solo shot, his third home run of the season, and Ryan Court also went deep for Pawtucket. Henry Owens turned in a strong outing, giving up a run on five hits in six innings. Most importantly for Owens, he issued only two walks. Brandon Workman earned his first professional save with a perfect seventh, his fourth consecutive scoreless outing to begin the 2017 season.

True, but maybe sometimes shaking things up gets the players energized.
-
I'm not suggesting we demote him because of a slow start. I wanted this since before the season started.
-
That begs the question, "what are we waiting for?" I'm not saying making that move is going to energize our offense right away, but we should make an effort to try and jump start things. The line-ups I suggested in December: vs RHPs: 1) Beni 2) Bogey 3) Betts 4) Pedey 5) HRam 6) JBJ 7) Pablo 8) Moreland 9) Leon vs LHPs 1) Beni 2) Bogey 3) Betts 4) HRam 5) Young 6) Pedey 7) JBJ 8) Rutledge/Hernandez 9) Vaz
-
Go with Beni at one! I agree.
-
Then, to score runs by not getting doubled up, taking extra bases on hits by the guys behind you by using your speed and scoring runs. Pedey is not fast. His base-running score on fangraphs was a plus from 2007-2012, but has gone down since: '11 +2.1 '12 +0.3 '13 -1.1 '14 -1.2 '15 -1.1 '16 -4.5 (It's at -1.4 in less than a month this year: this is a cumulative stat.)
-
Pedey's career numbers by batting slot: 1.054 4th .815 2nd .802 3rd .800 9th .761 1st

Nobody has hit like a "stud" in April. I agree. I do feel Betts is a stud. HRam, Beni, JBJ, Pedey and Bogey are plus hitters. I'm hoping April was just a fluke with everyone slumping at the same time. It's hard to imagine 5 of our best hitters all having a serious decline year at the same time. I sure as hell hope not! I still see top 5, but we better warm up real soon for that to become a reality.
-
I've always thought Bogey should bat 2nd until he shows the power everyone promised.
-
Or, for anyone else?
-
I'll be shocked if we finish last. It wouldn't be the first time. I'm still thinking this team is too good to not win the division or more.
-
Nobody was talking about him beating his GF when he was winning the world series. I was. Others should have been. But, we live in a world where serial abusers get elected president, so it's not surprising.
-
Yes, perfect.

Better than 1 year B.C. (Before Cliff...as in falling off one.)

Breaking news... Red Sox Claim Chase d’Arnaud By Jeff Todd | April 27, 2017 at 12:52pm CDT The Red Sox have claimed infielder Chase d’Arnaud off waivers from the Braves, per a club announcement. He had been designated for assignment and, evidently, placed on outright waivers by Atlanta. To clear 40-man space, Boston bumped righty Carson Smith to the 60-day DL. He is still recovering from Tommy John surgery, and it wouldn’t seem as if the placement says much about any changes to his timeline to return. The 30-year-old d’Arnaud represents a utility option for the Sox, who are struggling to cover with third baseman Pablo Sandoval on the DL and second bagger Dustin Pedroia also ailing. Over 262 career trips to the plate at the game’s highest level, d’Arnaud owns only a .245/.317/.335 batting line.

...He was the most clutch player to ever play the game ... Oh No! You Dih-Ent!!!
-
How about just parking on top of him with an 18 wheeler?
-
1) I said I was kidding. 2) I'd never trade someone because of something like this. I don't even see it as a big deal. 3) I'll trade anyone for a better return.
-
The weird thing is that Betts was our usual slow starter in cold weather, but he's doing well.
-
I didn't say move, I meant play our series at TEX in April not June or July.
-
Papi would have "protected" all these guys and made them better!
