    Agree 100%. 2B is more important than 3B, and this makes for less moving parts.
  2. Old Red
    They have showed on NESN before of Casa working on his D working on drills of digging low throws out of the dirt. I don’t know who works with him, but I know he participated in Story’s camp the last two years. Just, because it isn’t publicized doesn’t mean he isn’t working on his D, and because you haven’t seen it, or read about it certainly in this case doesn’t mean anything either.
  3. Old Red
    It does appear that way on the 2B situation. I think KC is just getting AB like everyone else, and not really in any competition for an OF job, and will head back to Woo with Anthony, and Mayer, and then go from there.
  4. Old Red
    IF needed? Yes.
  5. Old Red
    Cora has already said just like he did when Story arrived that Bregman won’t be moving around, so wherever he plays he stays. If you need the help with projections on paper then there is nothing wrong if it makes you feel better. I don’t, need that help, and I’ll just wait, and see how things work out in real time.

    I’ll tell you when I come back from fishing.🤫

    It’s been quiet. Good thing, or bad thing?

    3 IP/7K’s Good stuff. Now if he’s still doing that in Sept. the Red Sox may have something.👍
  9. Old Red
    I know that’s not the answer you wanted to hear, but it’s just my opinion.
  10. Old Red
    No I do not think they only work on DP’s in a game. At any rate I think the 2B job has already been decided.
  11. Old Red
    Getting AB yes, but it does Nothing for working on the D, and turning the DP, and working with Story. Absolutely nothing. I thought D was a big concern.
  12. Old Red
    2B has been a revolving door for to long now. I would just like to see someone win the job FT. I don’t care who it is. KC, Grissom, DHam, Romy, or even Bregman. Then I don’t care what they do with the rest.
  13. Old Red
    Who says Casas hasn’t worked on his D?
  14. Old Red
    I fully understand KC is versatile, and can play different positions. I would rather see that KC was good enough to win the 2B job FT, and then there wouldn’t be any need for him to play another position. Romy is a Swiss Army knife, and he a backup. I just don’t see the need to move to other positions for the FT players unless there is an injury, or just poor roster construction. I keep repeating that 2B is a BIG need right now.
  15. Old Red
    If KC was the FT 2B he could play 150 games, and wouldn’t need to play any other positions. Either he’s a 2B, or an OF. 2B is the biggest need right now not seeing how many positions KC can play IMO.
  16. Old Red
    11 different players played 2B last year, so that was more than EValdez, and Reyes.
  17. Old Red
    2B is the biggest need RIGHT NOW , and not LF is it not?
  18. Old Red
    Playing LF does not help him 1 iota as a 2B. If didn’t help Raf Man going back, and forth between SS, and CF last year, and he said as much that it took him a few games to adjust after moving back. If Campbell was to make the team, and play FT one position would be the way to go. Either he’d be a 2B, or not, and if he was FT why move him?
  19. Old Red
    Projections mean absolutely nothing. The Red Sox had 11 players play 2B last year. Is that depth? Definitely a revolving door.
  20. Old Red
    If Campbell is in the running to fix 2B why is he playing in LF so much in ST?
  21. Old Red
    To me Story is way down the list of questions. Pitching both the rotation, and the backend of the BP is still the biggest questions to me. The rotation may be deep, but still lots of question mark. Crochet is vastly unproven with ONLY 146 innings under his belt as a starter. Buehler did not have a good season last year, and who knows what Gio has to offer. HR derby balls? No one knows. Who’s the closer? That’s a big question mark to me. You can say the Red Sox have all the depth, but that doesn’t mean the depth is all that good. That will be determined on the field, and Not on paper.
  22. Old Red
    Hopefully he stays in the BP this time.
  23. Old Red
    Right now how many of the projected 6 starters before ST began aren’t going to be ready? Certainly Kut Man.
  24. Old Red
    Exactly! The BP was worn down the last few years as it is. One less arm in the pen, and the pen will wear down even faster.
  25. Old Red
    I don’t see Mayer making the 26 out of ST barring injury, and I don’t see Story moving off SS at this point. As for the best starting rotation since the last championship? There is a lot of things to happen that remains to be seen. Crochet is not very seasoned, and hasn’t thrown many innings to know what he will be. Buehler didn’t have that great of a season last year, and who knows what Gio will bring to the mound. I’m certainly not that impressed with the backend of the BP at this point either especially the closer whomever that will be.
