It may, it may not.
Remains to be seen.
Doesn't change my point that finding a 1B would certainly help put the debacle in the rearview mirror sooner rather than later.
Maybe, maybe not.
What's to say he doesn't request a trade? It's pretty obvious that he's not thrilled with management and the way they handled the situation from the start.
That doesn't negate the need for a 1B. And as long as there is a need for a 1B the diva will continue to be asked about it.
And we all know that he's not the best at avoiding controversy with his replies.
I would think it's in the sox best interest to find a solution as soon as possible.
This would stop the diva from having to continually answering questions about moving to first and relieve some of the obvious tensions.
If the orioles continue to struggle, would they make mountcastle available?
Umm, there's 8 pages that pretty much haven't added anything new. Why do you bother to continue to read and comment on this thread if that's the way you feel?
I'm fully aware of what the article says. What's to say he doesn't request a trade and the sox don't honor it until the offseason?
Why is it a "bad" article, because you don't agree with it?
The amount of injuries players have suffered from playing 1b is pretty small in the grand scheme of things.
And what ortiz did has no bearing on what devers may or may not do.
Except for the small fact that the Yankees never asked Jeter to move.
In fact, Jeter actually told Gene Michael at one point that he would be willing to switch to 1b or DH.
