  1. Story was damaged goods, but has had other injuries outside of what was damaged just like Sale.
  2. I’ve said before that Story left his Colorado bat in Colorado, and I don’t know if he’s the SS he was once either.
  3. True, but Story got it when he came to Boston, and Gio did too.
  4. Mayer is not ready now anyway. If KC becomes the FT 2B he’s the FT 2B, and there is no need to move him. Bregman May only stick around for 1 year, and then Mayer could play SS, and Story could move to 3B. Story has to stay healthy is the biggest thing he has to do.
  5. When you’ve got to many FT players then it will be time to trade someone for pitching. When Mayer is ready I’m not going to worry what happens with Story.
  6. Exactly. It doesn’t do any of the young guys any good to bounce them around. They should have figured out by now if KC is going to be a 2B, or an OF. 2B has been more than a need since Petey left. It would be good IMO to have someone there FT instead of a revolving door, or any kind of platoon. Bouncing around should be for the Romy’s of the world, and not FT players.
  7. Texas has already announced that Evol will be the opening day starter, but grudgingly agree on Hamilton. Don’t like platoons, and DHam is just the best of the worst if ST stats mean anything.
  8. If Grissom can’t win the job this year he’d be running out of chances IMO. Mayer getting closer, and if he takes over SS when he does Story could slide over. Where KC ends up is another question.
  9. Runaway choice? If he wins the job on ST alone it will be more by default considering what KC, and Grissom has done so far. Nothing great, but better than the other two.
  10. Raffy had every right, and has every right to be pissed off, and feels betrayed. It doesn’t matter who said Raffy would be the Red Sox 3B for the foreseeable future. They were representing the Red Sox, and it doesn’t matter to Raffy if they are still with the Red Sox, or not IMO. Who knows if Cora was in on those conversations as well, but saying the team is under different management now is just Cora being a Jackass IMO. Raffy has done nothing wrong, or said nothing wrong in all of this, and I would say the something if he refused to DH, or requested a trade. I’m not a big Devers Forevers guy, and not a big fan of Cora either. I don’t really care if Raffy plays 3B, DH, or 1B. Everyone Heard what Raffy had to say, and what Cora had to say in the beginning, and didn’t need any media to form their opinions IMO. I’m just waiting to see how it all turns out, and then go from there.
  11. Raffy, and Abreu in lineup today.
  12. And all this was done without knowing that Houck, and the Kut Man would step up, and give you the amount of innings that both pitched last year. Bad roster construction at the very least. The $17M the Sox payed Atlanta got me the most.
  13. Not surprising, but I disagree. I see Grissom #1 on the depth chart with DHam, or Romy backing him up. Mayer missed valuable developmental time the last two years due to injury, and isn’t ready IMO.
  14. Basically minus O’Neil. I know he didn’t have many RBI for the HR he hit, but I don’t know how much more production Bregman is going to give. I’m not as impressed by Bergman’s Fenway numbers as most, because it was against the Red Sox pitching staff.
  15. It should be a combination of all 3 IMO. To leave out 2?🙈🤭
  16. Also left the game with hamstring tightness.
  17. Raffy is facing Crochet, and Buehler in simulated games on Wed, and Thursday, so his shoulders are good enough for that.
  18. Raffy now pushed back this weekend to make his first appearance of the spring. Still taking live BP, and hitting off a machine though. Very Interesting.
  19. I think it has been Raffy holding himself back more than the Red Sox. Raffy supposedly went to Cora last week, and said he needed more work in the cage, and more live BP.
  20. He hasn’t pitched in a game yet, and supposedly will next week.
  21. Not good news for the Yankees? Garrett Cole had an MRI, and the Yankees are seeking a second opinion.
  22. True, and he’ll be a year older.
