    Maybe, but not until one gets out on the roster. And if I had to pick one, I’d probably pick Mayer, because we’ve seen Story go down enough times. As for the “word on the streets,” this is not exactly new. Remember when it was so important to move on from Ellis Burks so there was a clear path for Psycho Steve Lyons? And the bulk of it started before Bregman arrived and clouded the picture. Now if the Sox can clear out one of Casas, Devers, Abreu, or Yoshida, that changes things. Or if they sour of Rafaela and decide he’s the one who needs AAA or should platoon with Abreu, that also changes things. But neither of those situations have happened yet…

    Some of us don’t use the NHL for geography references…

    Why? Older brother Klay was drafted in 2011 and just turned 35…

    Move Devers to catcher. Solves soooooo many problems…

    Abreu is a better overall player than Rafaela, who’s probably the Sox OF most likely to lose his starting role to Anthony (if anyone is)…

    It’s just as easy to come up with 171.5 million reasons to NOT go to Detroit…

    Two? The Sox have THREE top ten prospects. So you’re saying the Sox should needlessly further complicate their roster issues to accommodate one of two players both under 24? It would be one thing if the Sox had a clear need. But if Bregman is at 2b, the clearest path comes by replacing the Gold Glover with 5 years of control in RF. Abreu is no Dwight Evans, but he’s not exactly Rudy Pemberton either. The Sox might add neither right away because history has shown the first one needed will be Mayer. Story hasn’t exactly shown a full season is a given…

    I think it will take an injury for either one…

    Campbell isn’t an option right now; he’s not on the roster. We don’t even know of a good spring training will get him on the roster, let alone put him in the starting lineup…

    I think he will, but does it need to be today? Tomorrow? By opening day at the latest? Believe it or not, the overall defense might be BETTER with Devers at 3b. Bregman is a terrific all around fielder who’s probably equal or better defensively at 2b than any of the Romy/Hammy/Grissom triumvirate. Which set of players contributes to an overall better defense? 1b: Casas 2b; Hamilton/Grissom/Romy 3b: Bregman Lf: Yoshida CF: Duran DH: Devers or 1b: Casas 2b: Bregman 3b: Devers Lf: Duran Cf: Rafaela DH:: Yoshida

    Well, worse defense leads you away from them, yes or no?

    I meant games not runs. In reference to topping the 2004 comeback and it’s Netflix docuseries…
  15. notin
    Not really. The chacnes they blow a 4-0 postseason lead is pretty unlikely with the current playoff structure.
  16. notin
    Probably a little more likely...

    I have my doubts Campbell steps in and hits MLB pitching better than Yoshida right away. But I like having him in my back pocket. I could see Anthony starting over Campbell, because the path is cleaner now that Duran is not a disaster in CF…
  18. notin
    There is a very strong possibility that Campbell is not blocked by Grissom, Hamilton or Romy, but rather by Bregman. If that’s the case, are you benching/cutting/trading/demoting Yoshida?
  19. notin
    So who are you benching, trading, or cutting to start them?

    Not always. That’s how we got Chris Sale in the first place…
  22. notin
    And then the Yankees collapsed so badly in the playoffs, that over 20 years later, we can still watch a new docuseries on it. Maybe the 2025 Red Sox will be the first team ever to blow a 4-0 lead in the postseason

    No, he was the editor of WWN back when it was at its most creative. I can’t remember the other 3 people there with him…
  24. notin
    And only one man has the answer. Why are they asking others who don’t?
  25. notin
    That article is horrible. It’s not even factually accurate. “Jose Altuve changed positions.” Past tense? Are they referring to his two career games at SS? And Alvarez switching to DH? So selfless, the way he handled it when they asked “do you want to DH in Houston or play outfield in AAA?” Even if they’re referring to Altuve potentially going to LF, it hasn’t exactly happened yet, and probably won’t since that move was proposed to accommodate Bregman. Roster Resource (granted, unofficial) still lists him as their starting 2b, probably because their only INF on the bench is Mauricio Dubón. Doubtful the Astros move Altuve to LF to accommodate Dubon…
