    Tovar, and Campy were good athletes, and could do things like that, but not all are. I heard one poster on here say that, because Mookie has moved around to different positions that Raffy should have done the same thing like Raffy is the same athlete as Mookie is. Not even close there on who’s a lot better athlete, and a bad comparison to boot.
  2. Old Red
    The more you move EVERYDAY players around doesn’t necessarily mean at all that it makes the team a better team just, because that’s the way it’s done more today.
  3. Old Red
    Cora sticks guys where they are needed first and foremost like with Anthony in RF last year, and Mayer at 3B last year, and RAF Man at SS the year before.
  4. Old Red
    I don’t think Anthony plays CF over Duran, and NO I wouldn’t.
  5. Old Red
    Did Cora have any concerns about playing Anthony playing RF when he came up last year? NO! 🤭
  6. Old Red
    Cora just likes playing musical chairs. Just like he doesn’t know where Durbin is playing yet. An emergency where Duran would be needed to play RF would be Abreu, Anthony, and, RAF Man all out. I also don’t think it has anything to do with putting Duran in a shorter field. Cora doesn’t get that technical like you do. Example Arroyo in RF.
  7. Old Red
    Mayer finally makes an appearance, and The Butterfly Man gets more time in RF. Interesting.
  8. Old Red
    Duran is Still a work in progress playing the outfield. Playing less time out there won’t help that any.
  9. Old Red
    I was one who said to trade him after the 2024 season for some pitching where most likely his value would have been as good as it’s going to get. Good player, but as I keep saying i don’t see any extensions coming his way from the Red Sox.
  10. Old Red
    Duran turns 30 in SEPTEMBER, and I just don’t see any extension coming from the Red Sox. Abreu turned down an extension in 2024, so I don’t know if the Red Sox have tried since. Nothing on any extension for Mayer’s at this point either.
  11. Old Red
    Good player at times, but i wouldn’t go so far as to call him great.
  12. Old Red
    I think how KC develops could be a determining factor also.
  13. Old Red
    Agree, and I don’t even expect to see Duran finish out his controlled years in a Red Sox uniform.
  14. Old Red
    Great instagram post yesterday by Alex Bregman showing him, and Raffy shaking hands of course not in Red Sox uniforms, but don’t fret the Red Sox got the steal of the century in Durbin.🤫
  15. Old Red
    Yes agreeing with MVP on Duran.
  16. Old Red
    I wouldn’t even give the Butterfly Man a net let alone extend him.🤭
  17. Old Red
    I agree on Duran, but the Red Sox have less of a chance landing Skubal than they did landing the Yam Man, which was 0%. Not a worry at all to me.🤫
  18. Old Red
    Agree on Skubal, and it’s not even a pipe dream once he hits FA. NO on Duran. I don’t see any extension in his Red Sox future.
  19. Old Red
    Welcome to the 70 club.
  20. Old Red
    Yes that gaping hole in the middle of the order was not addressed. Con Man will most likely give you more production at 1B than what the Red Sox had last year, but not what Alonso would most likely give, or Schwaber for that matter. Less production at 3B also.
  21. Old Red
    I agree. Durbin may be a good little player, but he’s no Bregman with the glove, or the bat, and as you said Bregman was the team leader. What the Red Sox basically did was trade Bregman for Durbin, and Ranger. Mayer is still a SUSPECT, so play on the field will tell if things as they ended up will work out. It could go either way.
  22. Old Red
    I think right now the Red Sox are better off that Story didn’t opt out, and will be the SS. Mayer hasn’t proven he’s an everyday player yet let alone an everyday SS where he didn’t even play many games at last year.
  23. Old Red
    If Masa was to spend any time in LF I think the Red Sox would have to be in desperate need due to injuries. I don’t know what the plans the Red Sox have for Masa, but I don’t see him having a roster spot unless he’s getting frequent AB.
  24. Old Red
    Why does it bother you so much what other fans say, and think? Way, way over the top. If some want to criticize, and be negative, or call JH cheap that’s their prerogative, and there is nothing wrong with that despite what you like, or think about it.
  25. Old Red
    Hypercriticism, and negativism? Wow! Most fans that I know of only care about their own team, and what they do, and don’t do, and don’t critique what other teams do, or don’t do. You can worry about what to hell all the other teams have done, and didn’t do, but that doesn’t change the so called microscope the Red Sox are put under by their fans, and nor do I think there is anything wrong with that at all. If it bothers you, and evidently it does, because you’ve mentioned it more than once then so be it. Poor, poor Red Sox how will they be able to hold up, and win under so much pressure from your SO CALLED negativism, and hypercriticism. Unbelievable.🙈
