    I’ll agree with that, but it wasn’t a plan until it was. Telling him to put his glove away was pretty telling that he wasn’t even a backup at 3B.
  2. Old Red
    That’s been regurgitated many times on here by some amateur scouts that they pretend to be.

    This conversation has been going on since he was traded a little over a year ago. SF is a whole entirely different situation. Raffy went to a new team where he had no seniority, and where they already had a good incumbent 3B. If Abraham Toro was an option that is all on bresLOW. The SF manager might of asked him to play 1B, where the Boston manager DID NOT. Is that a calculus change? You don’t have to buy anything. Once again Cora his manager did not ask him to play 1B. You can call that stubborn, but I think Cora knew what was best for the team, and not you, or me, and I agree that was pretty clear cut, and dry if you ask me.

    He was already playing where he was needed most. DH.🤫

    Huh? OMG NNNN. Yes I agree with everything Raffy, and Cora said, and did. We’ve already gone all over that 100 times already. What I don’t condone is how the Red Sox didn’t have a better plan not only at 1B, or 2B as well prior to this year. The bottom line is Raffy didn’t refuse what Cora told him to do so once again I say to me Raffy, and Cora were justified in everything they said, and did, and that was what was BEST for the team.👋

    We’ve already gone all over that a number of times already.🤔

    DH would be weakened, and I know it would have been hard to comprehend for you, but Raffy could have been worse at 1B. Romy was fine there. Could have even affected Raffy’s hitting like DH did at first. The choice of Toro at 1B was, because bresLOW wasn’t doing his job. Good point you had there. Well done.👏
  8. Old Red
    Huh? OMG NNN! Where did I condone it? I just said that’s what the Red Sox continued to do, and it wasn’t any more a problem last year than it was the previous two years, and the Red Sox were just doing what they normally do. I agree it was a failure, and that’s why Raffy was JUSTIFIED to tell bresLOW to do his job.
  9. Old Red
    My point is that 1B had been a problem for three years in a row, and the Red Sox just stuck someone there like Arroyo, and Franchy who hadn’t played there before, and they were going to try it again. That was all, because of injuries too, so it was NO more a problem last year then it was the two years before that. Raffy did what he was told he went to DH, and put his glove away. IMO putting Raffy at 1B would have weakened the team at two positions 1B, and DH. I think Raffy thought that, and I think Cora thought that. As I’ve said many times if Cora had told Raffy to go play 1B I’d have a different opinion but he didn’t. I think Raffy, and Cora knew what was best for the team, and bresLOW didn’t.
  10. Old Red
    The same plan they had the past few years when they were just sticking someone there hoping it might work out. Same as they did at 2B a few years ago when 11 different 2B played musical chairs. Now if you want to say that wasn’t a plan I’m with you.
  11. Old Red
    Yes, and as I said they KNEW he definitely wasn’t coming back last year, and not counting on him this year, and even to get back as a DH even looks iffy when he gets hurt just swinging a bat.
  12. Old Red
    You didn’t have a case.🙈
  13. Old Red
    Huh? Casas was already hurt. They didn’t know how long Casas would be out? They certainly knew he wasn’t coming back for the rest of the year, and most likely part of this year. It wasn’t a big problem before for the Red Sox, and that’s why the Red Sox tried Arroyo, and Franchy. Raffy saw that, so he was more than justified in telling bresLOW to do his job, and find a 1B. Cora felt the same way IMO.
  14. Old Red
    Huh? The same one they used. Did Raffy ever play there?🤔
  15. Old Red
    And as I said he ended up signing for 3B money, so I don’t believe there was any plan to move him anytime soon.
  16. Old Red
    The plan changed for bresLOW, but NOT Cora. Cora knew Raffy best, and I’m was never a big Cora fan, but I’ve always gone with Cora on this one. The Red Sox had problems at 1B for a few years now, and, that’s how Franchy ended up there.
  17. Old Red
    Raffy was playing where CORA told him to play, and after a record bad start was doing quite well there. Casas being hurt shouldn’t have changed that , but bresLOW thought he knew best. He DIDN’T.
  18. Old Red
    Still wha, wha, wha, wha. I don’t think the Red Sox were planning on moving Raffy off 3B anytime soon, and when they did I don’t know if there was ANY plan to move him to 1B, but to DH when it happened. DH would have been his best position, which is what he was doing, and is where he should have stayed. No one they were going to put there would have better, so you weaken the team. Their first offer meant nothing as they only offered Bogey a 1 yr extension at the same time. In the end he was signed as a 3B, and nothing else.
  19. Old Red
    Ah the pot calling the kettle black. You hide behind the curtain, and post by the thousands, and think you’re good.🙈
  20. Old Red
    More cheese with that WHINE. 😭😂🤮
  21. Old Red
    MH, which is a lot more reliable accepts non of the above.
  22. Old Red
    Ah a self proclamation, and a pat on the back at that. Not putting much value in what other people say is probably a big reasons why your predictions, suggestions, or opinions never happen. A curse. Definitely not a gift.🙈
  23. Old Red
    I got all that, and my answer was i wouldn’t if. Nothing more. Nothing less.
  24. Old Red
    I’ll just say this about that. I haven’t heard any discussions whatsoever about Lindor anywhere else.
  25. Old Red
    Story Land will be an interesting case once he’s all fixed up, and ready to go. No one has laid claim to the SS job though especially Mayer.
