    I agree. KC may never be good at 1 position, but he is athletic enough to get by on that alone. I’d just like to see him stick at 2B only if that’s where they see him long term, but I get that most likely hasn’t been decided yet, and will depend on other players movement also.

    I know it’s the proverbial small sample size, and early in the season, but the Red Sox are leading the league in errors, and that is not a good sign. Bregman no doubt is a better 3B than Raffy, and gets to balls that Raffy wouldn’t, but has 3 errors already. Campbell is far from a polished 2B , and nor do i expect him to be at this point either. He’s young, and has spent time in the OF, and SS in the minors that hasn’t helped his development at 2B.

    I agree with this, but I’m not looking for any Anthony promotion anytime soon unless an injury crops up. I still think, sooner, or later a trade, or two will be made to get rid of some log jams when Mayer, and Anthony come up, and to get more pitching. I don’t see that happening anytime soon, or maybe not even this year, and there are many possibilities there.

    Woo is playing a Single Admission DH today.

    I wasn’t totally against it. I know you’re an advocate for the Romy, DHam, and Ref type guys, and nothing wrong with that, but I just like to have a more set lineup.

    Heat wave in Boston tonight being in low to mid 40’s.

    Yes I dislike shuffling, and I’m all for having the Ref Man in the lineup against LHP. I don’t really care if the bench guys get much playing time. KC is far from a polished 2B, and he needs all the reps he can get there IMO even if that means he doesn’t get an occasional day in the OF. Role players can do the shuffling that’s what they are there for.

    A year ago the Red Sox were trying to lock Casas long term, but this past offseason they were reportedly trying to trade him to Seattle for pitching, so I don’t know if Casas is in the Red Sox long term plans anymore. Pitching is always needed , and I can see more trades being done to get some. Not right now, but maybe next offseason. I don’t know how high Casas trade value is right now though.
  9. Old Red
    That may be, but Romy was swinging the bat better in the early season than Casas.

    No need to shuffle anything, or bench RAF Man IMO. Even if the RAF Man doesn’t draw enough walks, or hit as well that some would like the rest of the offense should be good enough that he doesn’t have to. The least shuffling around the better. That’s why Ref Man is playing RF even in Fenway.
  11. Old Red
    Better pitching, and cold conditions helped.
  12. Old Red
    Agree 100%, and I’ve been saying that right along. Playing in the OF does nothing in helping him be a better 2B. If 2B is going to be his position that’s where he should stay. Just, because he can play the OF doesn’t mean he should. RAF Man said more than once last year that it took him a few games to adjust going back, and forth between SS, and CF, and especially tracking fly balls after playing a few games at SS. Moving around should be for the Romy’s, and backup types.

    Seems like Cora’s postgame last night was pretty much the standard from the last two years when he said we didn’t make the plays. Also said brutal conditions.
  14. Old Red
    14 SB against so far this year in 14 attempts.
  15. Old Red
    Good move with Romy. I don’t think Casa would scare anyone right now from bringing in a RHP. Abreu yes. Ref Man in RF again, at Fenway.
  16. Old Red
    Yes to Skubal.
  17. Old Red
    Even if Bello, and Gio come back in to rotation most likely Fitts, Newcomb, or Kut Man will be needed somewhere down the line.
  18. Old Red
    Temp in the 30’s with 25-35 MPH W winds in Boston tonight. More good April weather in the NE.
  19. Old Red
    I agree that Fitts is probably a backend of the rotation pitcher. Gio’s contract will get him his chances if nothing else.
  20. Old Red
    I wouldn’t put to much into Fitts outing last night. His control was off, but that was crappy weather to pitch in too. I know Gio was a good pitcher at one time, but when last seen he was a HR Derby pitcher. Aside from any setbacks Bello should be up maybe after 1 more start .
  21. Old Red
    Are we really counting on Gio to be much better?
  22. Old Red
    30 days should be more than enough time.
  23. Old Red
    Connor Wong fx pinkie. Placed on IL.
  24. Old Red
    38 degrees ENE winds gusting to 20 MPH. Just right.
  25. Old Red
    Not when you start the season in March, and then try to play in Boston in early April.
