    I’m not saying he won’t have range, but just not as much as he would playing in short RF. It’s all moot anyways as Story will be the starting SS.
  2. Old Red
    Kluber was better than Wacha last year?
  3. Old Red
    How can someone’s range go up when they won’t be playing so deep? How many of those balls that Story got to playing in short RF last year would he have got to if he was playing on the IF dirt. He’ll still be shifted somewhat, but not being able to play as deep is what will take the same range away.
  4. Old Red
    Story is not going to be playing in short RF this year, so his range at 2B will not be the same thing this year.
  5. Old Red
    Agree, and losing Evol, and Wacha, and being replaced by Kluber does not make them better. As a replacement for Hill maybe.
  6. Old Red
    3 teams passed on Mayer, and sooner, or later we’ll find out it that was the right move, or not.
  7. Old Red
    I think some over look that Bloom’s trades haven’t been all that great. Let Raffy finish out his last year in Boston, so everyone can see what they’ll be missing.
  8. Old Red
    Mayer like Casas, and Bello are still nothing more than promise at this point, and the way they get talked about on here they are already Mookie, Bogey, and Raffy. In other words future HOF. I hope they turn out to be, but at this point not yet. I’ll cross the Mayer bridge when it’s time.
  9. Old Red
    Sounds good, but maybe Mayer won’t be a SS if, and when he’s ready.
  10. Old Red
    How can you easily trade someone when they have a no trade?
  11. Old Red
    What was BorA$$ asking price last offseason?Once Bogey got to FA nothing else mattered, because he was gone anyways.
  12. Old Red
    Outside of the 1 year ext what did they offer him before, and after the barn door was open, and Bogey got to FA when once again it was lowball, and just done for show.
  13. Old Red
    When someone says the Red Sox just didn’t want Bogey at any price when I’ve constantly said Bloom misread the room I would call that saying otherwise.
  14. Old Red
    Kimmi was one who said he was being a bad teammate, and others agreed.
  15. Old Red
    Once again was Bogey ever asked to move off SS by the Red Sox?
  16. Old Red
    I believe Bloom Botched it, and we all watched it.
  17. Old Red
    I agree, but I get the impression that some believe that Bogey was asked already by the Red Sox to move off SS, and I don’t believe it was the case. Some on here even called him a bad teammate. He told the press he was a SS, and didn’t want to move, but he was going for a new contract that a SS would get more money.
  18. Old Red
    And like I said the shift went up by 50,000 in a ten year period, because of analytics.
  19. Old Red
    No different from the way the game was played for over 100 years until analytics took over, and increased the shift by 50,000 in a ten year period.
  20. Old Red
    Was Bogey ever asked to move off SS by anyone from the Red Sox?
  21. Old Red
    Casas isn’t going anywhere, and foolish to speculate he is anytime soon.
  22. Old Red
    If it would have been me we wouldn’t being having this conversation now, because Bogey would be the SS. Yes finishing out of the cellar, and just getting back to 500 is a big question.
  23. Old Red
    We obviously disagree, but I’m sticking to Story being the Starting SS this year. I’m not saying that’s what should be done, but that it will be done. Arroyo is a cheap option at 2B injury prone, or not.
  24. Old Red
    So you are saying if Story starts at SS this year then Bloom, and Cora are idiots, because that’s what I think is going to happen? Like I said Story wasn’t signed for that contract to be a 2B.
  25. Old Red
    Bloom knew, or should have known what he was getting into in coming to Boston, and if he didn’t he deserves to be hung out to dry, but he’s not alone.
