    Forget about last year. SS, 2B, and 1B base were pretty much revolving doors, because of injuries. If you don’t have all the injuries this year you don’t have all the revolving doors, and NO need for as many platoons. Bregman, Raffy, Story, Casas, Duran are all FT players. As it is now I think the RAF Man will be pretty much too. I know what Cora has said, but I don’t expect to see Masa in the OF if he is even still here.

    Hounding? Did the media force Raffy, and Cora to say what they did. Usually Cora doesn’t discuss with the media what he talks to the players about in private. This time he did.
  3. Old Red
    The media is just asking questions. Raffy didn’t have to answer like he did, and Cora didn’t have to answer like he did. If they wanted to air their grievances out to the public then everything is fair game. The fans take the info, and form their opinions, and run with it in all different directions just like on here. Listening to every word, and how it was said, and trying to decipher the true meaning. I don’t think Raffy would be into any pranks about 3B either.
  4. Old Red
    I don’t believe Raffy has started full scale defensive drills yet to next week, but it was reported in real time that Raffy working out at 3B this morning. As Cora has said Raffy is behind in his conditioning.
  5. Old Red
    Yes I heard both. NESN is the Red Sox station, and the other one is not. NESN, and TC are nowhere near as opinionated as the other station.
  6. Old Red
    Exactly! One of the worst ideas I’ve heard many times over is for there to be a time share at 1B/DH between Raffy, and Casas. IMO that would be a bad idea, because whomever plays there needs the work there EVERYDAY. It would not help anyone defensively to rotate, and Casas, or Raffy would need all the work they could get. To me a time share would complicate things even more.
  7. Old Red
    Yes I know those things have happened, but I meant no actions on who is playing where have been decided yet.
  8. Old Red
    Well the mood on this site is pretty much what’s out, and about in other places, but like I said except for some words here, and there no actions have taken place yet.
  9. Old Red
    At this point there has been plenty of smoke, but no fire. To me NOTHING unexpected has happened yet, and the start of the season is still over a month away.
  10. Old Red
    Cora gave a long ahh when asked about Raffy’s condition, and finally said he’s behind on his conditioning, so read into that whatever you want outside of him being in A1 condition.
  11. Old Red
    I legitimately wouldn’t even try to get into Casas mind.
  12. Old Red
    Cora said Raffy is a little behind in his conditioning this year.🤫
  13. Old Red
    Maybe, but you never know what Casas will say, or do.
  14. Old Red
    Casas has now put in his half a cent worth in saying that Raffy should stay at 3B, and Bregman should be at second. Said he wouldn’t take anyone else over Raffy at 3B. It’s a must listen that only Casa could do.🙈🤭.

    No disagreement at all, but I can see fully why Devers feels, or felt the way he does. So far Devers hasn’t done anything, but made a few comments. I did hear someone say yesterday who was down at the Fort that Raffy looks heavy.
  16. Old Red
    He had already spoken to Cora, and Brez privately on Friday, so thinking about it over the weekend hadn’t softened his stance. I see nothing wrong with him telling his feelings when asked by reporters. It shouldn’t have been a Surprise to Anyone what he said,
  17. Old Red
    Do you really think that, because Bregman has been around as long as Devers (ALL WITH ANOTHER TEAM) that he should have equal status with Raffy on the Red Sox who signed as a teenager, and has spent his whole career with them. I don’t know what Bregman was told with his negotiations with the Red Sox, but voluntarily going to a new team he should be willing to do what is asked of him. That doesn’t make him a better pro, or teammate IMO. You said Bogey was a bad teammate for not moving off SS for Story, and I disagree. I don’t think Bogey was a bad teammate, and I don’t think Raffy is a bad teammate either up to this point. I didn’t expect Raffy to just voluntarily hand 3B over to Bregman especially since he thinks as highly of himself as a 3B, and what he was told by the RED SOX when he signed his big contract. I’ll repeat what he was told by the RED SOX.

    I agree. JH down to CORA.
  19. Old Red
    Good point. Not everyone can function as a FT DH.
  20. Old Red
    I agree. For Cora to say there is new leadership now, and Bloom is in St. Louis was not was not a good statement to make to soothe the situation.
  21. Old Red
    👍👍👍 Well said too.
  22. Old Red
    Well said. Bregman is a good player, but he’s no Mike Schmidt, or Manny with the bat either. Raffy’s actions was predictable as predictable can be in this case, but how it turns out isn’t.
  23. Old Red
    Right now Raffy feels betrayed, and lied to, and it even appears blindsided. It doesn’t matter to him who told him he’d be the Red Sox 3B for a long time. Bloom, Cora or Brez. To him it was the Boston Red Sox. For Cora to say Bloom isn’t here anymore is how he sees, but not Raffy. Bregman may have been around as long as Raffy, but that was with another team, and most likely that matters nothing to Raffy.. Raffy’s been in the organization since he was a teenager. Unfortunately for the zRed Sox Raffy sees himself as a better 3B than everyone else, but that’s how he sees it. Cora wasn’t surprised by Raffy’s reaction, and neither should anyone else be. He does not seem like the pouting type? Obviously you haven’t seen Raffy stay at 3B when the rest of the IF was having a meeting at the mound🤭 Bregman despite JH lighting up a cigar may only be a one year rental, and might not be worth losing Raffy over. Physically, mentally, or both.
  24. Old Red
    As the Red Sox have found out the past few years you never can have enough arms.
  25. Old Red
    Just listen to both interviews, which is MUCH better to get the tones, and implications.🙈
