BBenj4ever replied to the thread A Dream of 2025, What is Going Right and Looks like the Sox can Build On.True, we don't know what his defense will look like at 2B. If he is an average defender there, then I like him as a bat-first 2B. And...

BBenj4ever replied to the thread Nick Pivetta to the 15-Day IL retroactive to April 6, with a right elbow flexor strain. (Bernardino called up).Exactly. Counting de Grom or Ohtani is disingenuous, because neither team was expecting them to be available at this point
