    One thing you should have learned long ago is how you see things, and how the Red Sox see things, and what they do about it is usually the opposite of what you predict, suggests, or anything else you want to call it. I’ll just wait, and see what happens . I’m pretty sure when the brain trust of the Red Sox say roster construction it has a different meaning as how you see it, It always has, but who knows you may actually turn out to be right this time, but either way I’m not going to lose any sleep, or pop the champagne cork waiting to find out. I’m just gonna wait.

    How about given props to TW, and JH who both personally called Boras to get the Bregman deal done?
  4. Old Red
    I watched in real time, and I think just, because something hasn’t been announced doesn’t mean a decision hasn’t been made.
  5. Old Red
    I don’t think what was said today, or wasn’t said today means anything more, or anything less than what Cora said the other day that Raffy was the 3B.
  6. Old Red
    The only thing new to me if only for a second was Boras with a Red Sox hat on his head.
  7. Old Red
    I didn’t know anybody was worked up about the press conference. It was just said more than once that the roster construction would determine who plays where. Sounds pretty self explanatory to me. Transparent as transparent can be.
  8. Old Red
    I don’t know if Brez came up with that, or Sam?

    More like the old Red Sox would be more like it, but now salaries have gone out of whack, and teams have passed the Red Sox, and the Red Sox aren’t one of the Big boys anymore. I don’t think Yoshida is considered any kind of depth.
  10. Old Red
    I’m sure everyone watched the Red Sox press conference today introducing Bregman (how about when Bregman put that Red Sox hat on Borasses head? It didn’t stay long), but the two key words today was Roster Construction, which was used more than once. That will decide who plays where. Remember. Roster Construction.

    What should the Red Sox do if Seattle gave the Red Sox two options on a trade for Castillo? Masa/Kut Man, or Masa/Casas? Do you have to go to BTV to decide?🙈
  12. Old Red
    Fans wanted the Red Sox to be like the Dodgers? Fans wanted to see the Red Sox clog up their line up? How many of the Good Red Sox teams going back to 1967 didn’t have pretty much everyday lineups? How many of the recent bad teams didn’t have mostly everyday lineups? If Story, Casas, and Grissom, and Masa for that matter hadn’t gotten hurt, and turned out better last year the Red Sox would have had a mostly everyday lineup.
  13. Old Red
    Even Story, and Sale were healthy before coming to Boston.
  14. Old Red
    BTV doesn’t have a clue what Seattle would do. How many teams out there would want the Kut Man over Casas?
  15. Old Red
    I think the Red Sox interest in the Castillo ship has sailed when Seattle said NO on Casas, and won’t be coming back.
  16. Old Red
    If Seattle turned down Casas/ Yoshida for Castillo I don’t think subbing Kut Man for Casas would even come close to closing the deal.
  17. Old Red
    Like I said yesterday as the roster stands today I think Bregman starts at 2B, and Masa is not a problem, but any additions like Campbell as a 2B, and Bregman moves to 3B, and Raffy has to go somewhere 1B/DH, and Masa is the odd man out. Most posters on here want Masa moved dumb criticism, or not. Like I’ve said many times the Red Sox are playing the hand they have dealt themselves, and the addition of Bregman gives them a new hand.
  18. Old Red
    To some he’s clogging up the roster, and lineup.
  19. Old Red
    A lingering knee problem since last season is not a good sign.
  20. Old Red
    Right now his health is up in the air.
  21. Old Red
    Remember the Red Sox reportedly discussed a Casas for Castillo trade at the Winter Meetings, and tried to throw in Masa, and it was a no go for Seattle, so I don’t think Seattle has any interest.
  22. Old Red
    I know you have a thing for the DHam, Romy, Ref Man’s of the world, and there is nothing wrong with that, but I don’t like the constant revolving door that’s been at 2B for a few years now, and I don’t see it as being needed this year. Romy, and DHam are both backups, and that should be their only role IMO. Bregman at 2B if that’s the plan takes care of that.
  23. Old Red
    Cora hasn’t said any plan yet, so we’ll have to wait on that one.
  24. Old Red
    Understood fully, but like I said hopefully not all these changes have to be needed this year. As is right now you have full time players at just about every position except for possibly RF,and C, which to me should be the plan every year. There shouldn’t be a plan IMO as some have suggested On here to have 2 backups like Romy, and DHam being part of a regular platoon.
  25. Old Red
    Frequent roster changes were, because of injuries, and that’s why all the revolving doors at 2B, SS, and 1B. Hopefully not needed this year.
