1. I’d be hesitant to call bringing up kids from AA Dombrowski’s “thing.” In 4 seasons with the Sox, he called up two starting position players (Devers and Benintendi) and didn’t call up either one in June. Benintendi debuted in August, and Devers in late July. He also didn’t call up any starter with more starts than Brian Johnson.
2. If the problem is Dalbec is failing to make an immediate impact, will people be equally patient with Duran? What happens when he struggles? And he will at some point....
