good we need a future 2B. Duran is being converted from 2B to center, where he has been playing for Lowell. His speed would be wasted at second. Did anyone see this coming? Is he legit, or is this just one of those small sample size anomalies? Too soon to know? |

Bobby Dalbec needs to break out of the slump he’s starting before he starts to slide. One for his last sixteen with 8 Ks.

Is he legit, or is this just one of those small sample size anomalies? Too soon to know? Wondering why his speed would be wasted at 2b. Seems to me it would be an asset fielding balls over the bag and in the hole, besides getting to the bag to turn a DP. |

You need quick twitch reaction for 2B a lot more than top speed. Pedroia was never that fast. |

It's more a question of what's best, Mookie at second and player X in RF or Player Y at 2nd and Mookie in RF. |

Considering Mookie is the best RF in baseball, it would be hard to have a better setup than having Mookie in RF. |

Considering Mookie is the best RF in baseball, it would be hard to have a better setup than having Mookie in RF. True but for a tandem, you have to look at total value not just defense. Example, if the Sox picked up a big bat DH next year and the alternatives were Mookie at second and JD in right or Mookie in right and Nunez at second with JD filling in, I'd want Mookie at second. He was no slouch at second in the minors. I realize that's an unlikely situation, just intended to illustrate why it isn't a black and white decision. |
