    Mayer, and Campbell both will not make opening day unless Story goes down in the meantime. 2B is the ONLY opening right now.
  2. Old Red
    Injuries have a way of changing things if he puts things together.
  3. Old Red
    The injuries the last two years took away valuable developmental time, and if not he would most likely be on the 26 right now IMO.
  4. Old Red
    The revolving door is getting worn out.
  5. Old Red
    Boras is still laughing about that one. Never shut things down that fast. He knew NO ONE was going higher than Boston.
  6. Old Red
    There was a need for outfielders at the time, and that was Bloom’s big splash for losing Bogey.

    I’ve already discussed my opinion when Anthony makes the team. Duran-RAF Man- Anthony OF. I’ve also discussed as of right now Ref Man would platoon in RF with Abreu. I don’t see moving the whole OF around for Ref Man either. Once again Raf Man is the FT CF IMO, and musical OF is NOT needed.
  8. Old Red
    I don’t think about who doesn’t play let alone care about it. I also don’t worry about someone losing AB Ref Man, or anyone else. When all three suspects finally make the 26 you’ll have to many players, and someone will have to go hopefully for some pitching. I know you, and others see The RAF Man as some type of super utility guy, and I just don’t see it that way. Just, because he can doesn’t mean he will.
  9. Old Red
    If Story Land goes down for his annual repairs, and maintenance I don’t think you will see the RAF Man move back to the IF. He’s the FT CF now no matter who else is in the OF.
  10. Old Red
    Last year was Grissom’s best chance to make the team. This year the chance while still there was not as good, and 2026 will be slim, and none IMO.

    According to reports the Red Sox were trying to include Masa with Casas to Seattle.
  12. Old Red
    Masa has NO issues with swinging a bat that I’ve heard of, and that’s pretty much all he should do. Roster construction does not warrant a trip to the IL IMO.
  13. Old Red
    Expensive DH’s at that.
  14. Old Red
    RAF Man said it took him a few games to adjust on tracking fly balls after moving back to the OF last year too.
  15. Old Red
    Sounds like bad roster construction to me.
  16. Old Red
    Exactly. Trade him, or release him. Even if healthy I don’t see him picking up a glove again despite what Cora says.
  17. Old Red
    Maybe a little arm too.
  18. Old Red
    Story is not the same player he was in Colorado both AB, and in the field IMO.
  19. Old Red
    If Anthony is FT, which he should be when he makes the 26 that leaves a Duran, RAF Man, and Anthony OF. That leaves less of a need for Ref Man, and then what to do with Abreu. I see RAF Man being the FT CF not any role player moving around IMO. The less moving around the better it is for the team IMO for all the FT players.
  20. Old Red
    This doesn’t do Mayer any good developmental wise playing him SS one day, 3B another day, and 2B another day. When Mayer gets on the 26 put him where he’s going to play, and leave him there. Same with Campbell. When they make it they should be FT players. Not role players. That’s for Romy, and Sogards of the world.
  21. Old Red
    Yes Chapman has been a good closer, but is now 36, and hasn’t been a FT closer for a few years now. Hendricks also 36 has only pitched 5 innings since 2022, so we’ll find out how capable they are now.
  22. Old Red
    To not know who the closer is going into ST is not a good plan in itself, but to not know at the end of ST is even worse. Like I said I hope things all work out, but I have serious doubts.
  23. Old Red
    I hope things work out, but I’m pretty skeptical of relying on a 36 year old closer who has only pitched 5 innings since 2022. I felt a lot better gong into the last two seasons about the 8th, and 9th innings. Not a sound plan IMO.
  24. Old Red
    Back end of the BP namely the closer is the biggest question mark to me.
  25. Old Red
    Has all his injuries in Boston been what was damaged before he got there?
