    This has been already been gone over before. Having equal seniority in the league ALL with ANOTHER team does not give Bregman equal seniority with the Red Sox IMO. Devers has EVERY right to feel that way, and it shouldn’t come as any surprise to anyone.
  2. Old Red
    Either Devers should be the 3B FT, or not. Having him be part of a revolving door he’d be worse than he is now IMO. Either FT 3B, or FT DH.
  3. Old Red
    I agree, but Brez thought it was a good idea at the time.
  4. Old Red
    No, but I don’t see Raffy aging well weight wise, or healthy wise. 235/240 could be handled better at 25 than once he turns 30, and that’s if if stays at 235/240.
  5. Old Red
    Brez was in a given mood last year for better, or worse, and tried to lock up the young guys, RAF Man, and Bello took it, and Casas didn’t.

    Raffy’s L shoulder bothered him all last season. He hurt his R shoulder diving for a ball during the season. He was shut down at the end of last season, and the Red Sox came out, and said he didn’t need surgery. Was there any diagnosis given last year, or what the problem is this year?
  7. Old Red
    His last two years has ended early being shut down, because of those injuries.
  8. Old Red
    Mayer has lost valuable developmental time the last two years due to injury, which has set him back some IMO.
  9. Old Red
    Exactly! Especially when someone doesn’t want it, or even thinks he needs it, which Raffy doesn’t.
  10. Old Red
    No doubt a good selling point to you, but I doubt no selling point at all to Raffy. He’s more likely to get hurt taking those wild swings with the bat than anything else.
  11. Old Red
    Raffy hurt his right shoulder diving for a ball, but his left shoulder, which bothered all season came from swinging a bat? Either way his hard swings will come no matter where he plays.
  12. Old Red
    Like Merloni said the other day that 2B is more important than 3B, and you need a good DP combo if possible playing there every day.
  13. Old Red
    Sore elbow after getting hit by a pitch.
  14. Old Red
    Raffy was signed as a 3B. An expensive DH Raffy would be.
  15. Old Red
    Raffy’s shoulder bothered him all last season, but yet nothing was serious enough to have surgery. The report from the Fort says Raffy has been fielding ground balls at 3B, but hasn’t Started throwing yet until next week.
  16. Old Red
    That’s where that roster construction things comes in. If Raffy is FT DH Masa is kind of the odd man out. I just don’t see Cora playing Masa in the OF at the expense of RAF Man. Then again I could be 100% wrong.
  17. Old Red
    Right now the biggest need is 2B. It would get to be a real crowded OF with Anthony too, but I guess a good problem to have with some added trade options.
  18. Old Red
    RAF Man FT in the OF cuts down on options, and needs, which also means needs to move Duran. Like I mentioned before that moving Raffy to FT DH limits options, and needs there especially for Ref Man.
  19. Old Red
    Anthony LF Eaton CF Garcia RF Campbell/Mayer 2B/SS
  20. Old Red
    Ref Man if Abreu is platooned. If Raffy is moved to DH that’s one less place for Ref Man to go, or anyone else to go for that matter.
  21. Old Red
    You keep suggesting all these moving parts where as I suggest the least moving parts the better. To me FT players should have FT positions, and platoons should come from backups who will also do the fill ins. Injuries has caused revolving doors, and more platoons the last few years, and that should be the only reason now IMO.
  22. Old Red
    It’s impossible to know is right. Arod may have been a better SS, but if Jeter had moved to 3B he might not have been as good of a 3B as ARod was, so you would have lost something there, so it’s not as cut, and dry as just inserting ARod at SS. The Red Sox could have had Mike Lowell, or Beltre playing 3B for them the last 3 years, and they still wouldn’t have made the postseason. Nothing is as cut, and dry, or as easy as some suggest on here.
  23. Old Red
    Go back, and listen to Cora’s interview, and you would know what was going on, and you wouldn’t have to ask all the questions.
  24. Old Red
    Unfortunately for you you’re not to find anything in print. I heard it right from the reporter’s mouth. Once again watching, and listening you get so much more info than trying to look it up, or hearing it from second, or third hand. Maybe other reporters had better luck I don’t know. I was just reporting what this reporter said.
  25. Old Red
    The reporter just asked Casas for an interview, and Casas said he wasn’t doing interviews.
