    #1 who’s fault is it that they don’t have anymore options than what you mentioned? Playing Kike at SS is pretty much like playing no one there anyway. It’s surly is not a good option, but Bobby D I don’t think would do any worse, and at least would get a base hit every now, and then. As for the loser I’ve seen others go back, and forth with another poster on here myself.

    In the short term losing Bogey was, and is a losing proposition.
  3. Old Red
    I agree with Yoshida, and Casas playing, because they are going to be around for a few years, and are not a stopgap like Kike, and i wouldn’t call playing Kike as a best bet, and if it yours you’re probably a loser.

    That’s the point the eye test will tell you he’s not hitting pretty much anything, and hasn’t since 2021.
  5. Old Red
    That’s my point. Mayer, Rafaela, Blies, Yorke may be up some day, but they are no help now, and there is no help to be had at the here, and now, which is what’s most important at the moment.

    I didn’t know Kike was everyone, and Kike sucked pretty much with the bat last year too. I said at the time he was resigned that the Red Sox could have done better with $10M. The hero worship that Kike gets on here just astounds me.
  7. Old Red
    That’s the problem that he’s getting playing time at all, and batting leadoff, and getting more AB.
  8. Old Red
    I agree, and if he can’t hit LHP what’s the use in having him? The problem is if no outside help is added the alternative is Tapia, and the Butterfly Man.
  9. Old Red
    Relax! Only joking.
  10. Old Red
    Are you saying 2022 was a mirage?
  11. Old Red
    You mean like Kike?

    It wasn’t about if Sale had earned to be the opening day starter, or not, but the reason behind it. I for one did not think Sale deserved to be opening day starter, and if you wanted to go by who has been there, and showed up everyday that would have been Privetta.
  13. Old Red
    I think lots of lefty pitching has been the reason.
  14. Old Red
    The only thing I worry about Raffy is pulling something when he takes one of his big swings, and I think Dugy will be somewhat productive, but the rest of the bunch is a lot of ifs.
  15. Old Red
    I’m not saying he would, but Cora thinking he would be taking the pressure off a 34 yr old Sale, who’s been in the league for years was over thinking things.
  16. Old Red
    I get your point, but just, because the Red Sox farm is higher ranked, because of a few players doesn’t mean it’s any good, or will be productive, which is mine. I’m not asking for someone to be a high ranked SS to come up, but anyone who could field the position, and hit better than 083. Is that to much to ask?
  17. Old Red
    We don’t know how Sale would have pitched on opening day, but the point was that Cora’s over thinking things didn’t make sense to me, and it did work out.
  18. Old Red
    Casas has looked more suspect than prospect so far, and I have always said Whitlock should be in the pen. Time will tell on Bello.
  19. Old Red
    Oh no! Not fire Cora. He’s pulled all the right strings. How about batting Noshida 4th, because he wanted him to feel more comfortable. How’s that worked out? How about not Starting Sale on opening day, because he wanted him to enjoy the festivities, and not put on pressure on him. How did that work out? Taking Dugy out of the leadoff spot, and inserting an 083 hitter, which gives him potentially a xtra AB a game to suck even more. How has that worked out. Cora will have the BP all worn out from over use by May 1. Oh no! Don’t fire Cora.

    Whoopie doo the Red Sox have one of the top prospects in all of baseball in the lower ranks. Doesn’t do any good now does it, and as my saying goes prospects/suspects are useless until they produce in a Red Sox uniform, or are traded for someone who does.
  21. Old Red
    Right now the lack of hitting seems to be the most concerning. Turner looks all his 38 yrs, Yoshida plays to much ping pong with the IF, Casas looks more suspect than prospect, Arroyo while healthy hasn’t hit, and Kike looks like another JBJ, and $10M wasted.
  22. Old Red
    I don’t think JH gave Bloom a pat on the back for that one.
  23. Old Red
    Mayer seems to be off to a Kike start. I hope Kike didn’t rub off on him.
  24. Old Red
    The Red Sox have no depth. I keep hearing the farm is better, but they can’t even bring up anyone to play SS who can field, and hit better than 083. Wouldn’t a Jeter Downs have looked good, but he sucked big time, and never made it. What a haul Bloom got for Mookie. The best option for an OF to be brought up is the Butterfly Man, so for a farm that’s supposed to be better I’d say it’s still pretty thin.
  25. Old Red
    Being 7th in runs scored is not the telling of what the offense has been to start the season. They hadn’t faced very good pitching going into Tampa, and outside of Duvall, Dugy, and Raffy there wasn’t much else going right for any other hitters, so to call it thin would be to generous.
