    But he didn’t even swing a bat at for quite awhile anywhere.
  2. Old Red
    Casas sure hasn’t proven he can stay healthy, and he hasn’t proven he can be a great hitter let alone a 30+ HR hitter. All wishful thinking there. A slow starter, and now he doesn’t have the luxury to get that chance anymore.
  3. Old Red
    All I know was he was good enough to DH in ST.
  4. Old Red
    The RED Sox used the ruse that Masa had to get his arm in shape to play the OF, and shipped him off to parts unknown, and wouldn’t even let him bat at Woo, or anywhere else when he was healthy enough to DH from the Red Sox on opening day, but oops Raffy was there last year. It would be great if Masa would go to Woo to begin the season, but I don’t see that happening. Being a backup DH on the bench isn’t a good fit either.

    I don’t know what kind of label Casas deserves. He’s had one full season where he hit 24 with 65 RBI. To me he’s still a work in progress who has to prove first of all he can stay on the field. Like Mayer Casas has lost a lot of AB the last 3 years due to injuries. He could go either way, but if some want to call him mediocre I see nothing wrong with that. It’s not going to hurt, or help either way.

    I’ve followed your logic right from the very beginning and it wasn’t that hard to do. Of course if you over analyze things it will go right over your head, which it seems that it has for some.🤔

    I agree on Song especially being a ex Navy guy.

    Way too many moves unnecessarily. Once again Cora didn’t see it that way, and just like now when Cora said Story is THE SS.
  10. Old Red
    And none of it happened. Cora must be such a bad manager, because he very RARELY does any of your suggestions. Like it, or not, or for better, or worse team seniority has meaning in most cases like it, or not.

    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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Old Red
    I don’t think Anthony plays CF over Duran, and NO I wouldn’t.
  15. Old Red
    Did Cora have any concerns about playing Anthony playing RF when he came up last year? NO! 🤭
  16. 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.
  17. Old Red
    Mayer finally makes an appearance, and The Butterfly Man gets more time in RF. Interesting.
  18. Old Red
    Duran is Still a work in progress playing the outfield. Playing less time out there won’t help that any.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Old Red
    Good player at times, but i wouldn’t go so far as to call him great.
  22. Old Red
    I think how KC develops could be a determining factor also.
  23. Old Red
    Agree, and I don’t even expect to see Duran finish out his controlled years in a Red Sox uniform.
  24. 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.🤫
  25. Old Red
    Yes agreeing with MVP on Duran.
