    This is kind of what ive been saying for the past few years. Cora has talked about how the defense has to improve at length, but for reasons, or reasons the Red Sox hasn’t seen fit to do it. Not understanding why is one thing, but to not see it’s being done up to this point is quite the other.

    How many games would the RAF Man have played at SS last year if Story would have been healthy? How many games would Duran have played in CF last year if Story would have been healthy? Both of those moves were made, because of injury. Otherwise Raf Man would have been the FT CF, and Duran would have been the FT LF. Outside of an injury, or a different roster additions I don’t see any changes for this year. If Ref Man plays for Abreu then I see him playing in RF, and I don’t see any shuffling of the other two, nor do I see the need.

    For what the Red Sox have done the past three years that was a very Isolated instance on putting a real gloveman out in the field. How many opposites has there been outside of that one move. When’s the last time the Red Sox have had a backup gloveman ready to go in, and play SS in case of an injury? Kike?

    Running yours down Bub? OMG! I have said many times that a lot of my post is what I think what the Red Sox will do, and nothing to what I would do. Talk about running mine down. All I have to do is talk about old time stats, and eye test, and all kinds of bells, and whistles go off.🙈 Just like now. I haven’t seen Cora do anything the last few years that would leave me to believe outside of injuries I don’t see a whole different defensive alignment being made in the OF to accommodate the Ref Man. You, and others see it differently, and share a different opinions. NOTHING wrong with differing opinions unless you make it one.

    Most of Cora’s moves to the non everyday players are batting matchups, and nothing to do with any D lineup. If Duran, and RAF Man are everyday players to me they will be in LF, and CF primarily unless there are injuries. Duran will not play CF over Raf Man IMO. I’ll say again that all the defensive move the players the last few years has been, because of injuries, and injuries only, and with all that RAF Man only played three innings in RF last year.
  6. Old Red
    Just an opinion just like you Bub.
  7. Old Red
    You thinking something is needed, and Cora thinking something is needed are two entirely different things, so if you think that strengthens your position that doesn’t surprise me at all. At the moment there is NO Injuries to make it any kind of need. Saying Ref Man should not play RF at Fenway didn’t come from Cora either. Need I remind you that MOST of your predictions, suggestions, opinions, or anything else you want to call them them don‘t happen.
  8. Old Red
    We shall see. What you think, and what the Red Sox will actually do are most likely two different things. The Red Sox don’t make moves for defensive purposes as they have shown time, and time again, so I don’t know why you think they will now, so like I said shall see.

    RAF Man played all of 3 innings in RF last year. RAF Man played SS as much as he did last year, because Story was hurt, and Cora played Raf Man there, because Cora thought he was the best option. Duran played CF when RAF Man was at SS. If EVERYONE is healthy those moves wouldn’t be needed.
  10. Old Red
    All I’m saying is the Red Sox have been a 500, or below team the last three years with Raffy. Healthy lineup, and the pitching staff is the big thing to make the Red Sox better in the standings.
  11. Old Red
    You keep saying Ref Man would play LF, and I say the Red Sox would play Ref Man in RF if Duran, and RAF Man was the other two OF. How many games did Duran play CF last year when RAF Man was also playing the OF too?
  12. Old Red
    You keep saying what you would do. I on the other hand are posting what I think the Red Sox will Actually do. I don’t see Cora realigning the whole OF if Abreu doesn’t play, and, Ref Man does, and Duran, and RAF Man are the other 2 OF.
  13. Old Red
    You mean the Red Sox would be a 500, or below team like they have been the last 3 years with him?
  14. Old Red
    If Ref Man platoons any with Abreu he most likely will play RF at Fenway, or anywhere else IMO shouldn’t, or not. I don’t see Cora realigning the whole OF if Abreu isn’t playing as it stands now.
  15. Old Red
    Who’s to say that either DHam, or Romy even make the 26 out of ST let alone be the 2B platoon? I think you over value both of these guys. The ONLY reason both got playing time last year was because of injuries.
  16. Old Red
    Did Brez buy a lemon from the Braves while paying for Sale to win a Cy Young with the Braves?🙈🤭
  17. Old Red
    I don’t know how soon the plan is for him to make the 26, but most likely he’ll get plenty of AB’s in ST.
  18. Old Red
    You may be right, but I don’t see Romy, and DHam being the 2B combo.
  19. Old Red
    No, and No. I think as is today Raf Man will be the FT CF, and Duran will be the FT LF, and won’t be doing all this moving around.
  20. Old Red
    I agree with this. Both Romy, and DHam are just fill ins, and won’t be a any kind of tandem.
  21. Old Red
    With the swing he takes it’s either his shoulders, or his back.
  22. Old Red
    I think to start with they are hoping that Casas, Story, and Raffy stay healthy and they get more out of them.
  23. Old Red
    I agree, and Raffy is no leader either, which I believe the position is vacant at the moment.
  24. Old Red
    Still looking for that third option in the fork in the road?
