Listened To Pedey on WEEI annmnnnnnd

[notin]

This means we should trade JD, assuming the impossible happens and Pedey DHs 80+ games.

JD should not play defense- anywhere but in NL parks.

Maybe the plan is to have Pedroia DH in NL parks..

[Slasher9]

punch & judy DH. no thanks.
again, the fact that the manager of the Red Sox has not had JD take some reps at 1b for the past 2 years - especially last spring - is negligence.
people can argue this all they want but every year we need someone that wasn't in the original "plan" to play games at 1b. why not have a guy already on the payroll that has gone on record he likes playing in the field take reps at the position during ST???? negligence.

You'll get nothing from Late Night Larry.

Oh, I know that. But it's fun to try and poke him.

Last year, the Sox entered spring training with Moreland, Pearce and Holt all guaranteed spots on the MLB roster. And even Christian Vazquez had a small amount of experience at 1b (granted a single game, but it was a very, very long World Series game). And that's before getting into the minor leaguers, like Chavis and Travis.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it negligence. The Sox had to use Vazquez at 2B last year. Was it negligence that they had no one else take reps there as well?

JD has played 800 games in the outfield and 0 at first base. There may be a reason for that. I'm sure it has crossed people's minds before this.

yes

[5GoldGloves:OF,75]

JD played four games at first base in his first year in the pros. He made two errors in four games -- that's a pace of 81 errors in a 162-game season.

Either he's afraid of playing there or they're afraid of him playing there.

Or both, plus I'm terrified, but I know that doesn't count for jack.

[Slasher9]

thats why it should be looked at in ST. last season. and this season. and the past 2 offseason.
i bet our new HoBO will make sure it happens this spring. sig bet anyone?

When JD gets hurt playing 1B, will you be around to defend the move?

yes. i'm not going anywhere?
also, even IF he does get hurt...that does not mean it was a wrong move.

The move certainly increases the odds.

(I know you aren't going anywhere, but yes, if he gets hurt- it's all your fault!)

deal. but if he pulls a hammie or tweaks his back chasing down a flyball in the OF then im coming for you!

Self banning is not a good thing to bet. Sig line is better.

Mr No Fun has entered the chat.

[Swiharts Ghost]

I'd rather pencil Pedey or Vaz in CF than to see JD touch a glove for the remainder of his tenure in Boston ...I think Pedey has better range I'm not kidding .
