    He was able to play in ST, so there has to be some kind of technicality that he isn’t, and if there isn’t it’s a head scratcher.
  2. Old Red
    Knowing Cora it’s a lot longer than a yardstick.

    Putting DEMOTED as is is calling it as it is. Just like Masa was demoted to DH last year, which he probably didn’t like, but everyone is different, and might of handled things differently, or better. So what if Devers sees it as a demotion? Well if it affects his psyche, which affects his play, and I don’t know if it does, but that would be a BIG deal. Why Masa isn’t playing at Woo could be just some kind of paperwork manipulating I don’t know.

    Baring injury Houck will have as long a leash as the hitters, or non hitters as the case may be IMO.

    Until Masa was ready? Masa was ready to DH in ST' or was I imagining that Masa got 35 AB? Masa would have opened the season just as he did last season as the Red Sox DH, but Raffy was DEMOTED to that position! so Masa just hangs out, and collects his $18M playing catch. Roster Construction at its best.
  6. Old Red
    It has nothing to do with being a right move in Raffy’s mind. You are so worried moving Raffy down the order as being perceived as a demotion, but you’re not concerned about outside of being benched moving to DH was, and is the biggest demotion of all. and I think Raffy does.

    2B has been a Big need for several seasons outside of the year Story played there. Campbell is the 2B now, and he needs all the work he can get there, it surely does him no good as a 2B playing the OF. RAF Man said last year he took him a few games to adjust going back between SS, and CF last year. Just, because guys can play more than 1 position doesn’t mean they have to, or they are better for it, or the team either for that matter outside of injuries happening, and a move is needed because of it.

    And I would give an Iron Sheik response to that. Spit Pewey.
  9. Old Red
    Yes for me. Keep his ass at 2B if that’s going to be his position. He needs all the work he can get there. RAF Man has at least been getting some hits lately, and needs to play every day IMO. He had two hits in a game a few games back, and Cora took him out the next game.

    It sounds like they tried to unload Casas, and Masa to Seattle, but that fell through. I mentioned trading off Duran at his high point at the end of last season, but got a lot of pushback from the big Duran fans on here. Brez has his hands, and plate full on what to do now with Mayer, and Anthony chafing at the bit, and getting itchy down at Woo to come up to Boston.
  11. Old Red
    It’s possible, but I can’t see Cora as being the type that would be the manager under those conditions of not being able to make out his own lineup.
  12. Old Red
    Yes this version of roster construction is not working out to well at the moment. Who knows, but Masa may have better stats as a DH than Raffy if he wasn’t off in exile working on his throwing (wink, wink) to get back into the OF mix.
  13. Old Red
    You may be right, but i wouldn’t necessarily combine the end of last season when we knew he was hurt to the beginning of this season. He’s definitely swinging hard, but I think his ego has taken a big hit in all of this too.
  14. Old Red
    Leading the league will do that for you on one side, and leading the league in K’s helps the other side.
  15. Old Red
    Oh no not a demotion! As if being relegated to just being a DH only wasn’t the biggest demotion as it is.🤭
  16. Old Red
    Devers has never been in this situation before being the FT DH either physically, or Mentally. It’s a whole new different situation. Time will tell on how it all works out.
  17. Old Red
    MEH! LETS GO CELTICS.
  18. Old Red
    You mean KC in CF today where he almost had a Major run in.
  19. Old Red
    34 AB sample size is all there is. You said he was doing a fine job. The only place I would try Devers right now is the bench, and his stats are all the more reason. I think Raffy is broken right now, and I don’t mean physically.
  20. Old Red
    Abreu is 5-34 batting 4th with a OPS somewhere between 500, and 600, which is closer to 500. That’s doing a fine job? 3 RBI in his last 15 games total, and that was on 1 swing of the bat.
  21. Old Red
    Never? He playing like Never Devers right now, and shouldn’t even be the Bat Boy let alone bat 4th, or 2nd, and yes a demotion at the very least. Speaking of 4th how’s Abreu’s stats holding up batting 4th?
  22. Old Red
    If this would have happened the last two years Mayer would be up to Boston already. Unfortunately, or fortunately Story is healthy, and playing well. Both haven’t proved they can stay healthy the last two years, so only time will tell if either, or both can this year. I don’t see Mayer coming up anytime soon unless an injury, or a trade occurs, and to me it wouldn’t hurt Mayer to stay at Woo most of the year no matter how well he does.
  23. Old Red
    I think Anthony, and Mayer are going to be harder to extend than Campbell was.
  24. Old Red
    Maybe he thought he had just taken one of his imaginary swings, and didn’t need to run.
  25. Old Red
    Wasn’t any good, or not playing any good?
