No, they are going to trade Downs because his first name makes a lot of fans upset.

Chavis looks like he ate Pedey.

i am of the feeling we should go the complete opposite. we should market the hell out of jeter and do all we can for the kid to have an awesome career. in 10 years when someone says "jeter" the first person i want them to think of is Downs in a Red Sox cap. derek will become an afterthought......r2spect.

When Downs gets 100% HOF vote...

I think Downs will be in Boston by mid-summer. They just gave him a locker between Moreland and JD in Fort Myers. Descriptions in scouting reports and his projections offensively and defensively remind me a little of Starlin Castro. Not Robbie Alomar, but a four-time All-Star and .280 bat wouldn't be so bad for one year of Mookie.

I read that it was the only open locker and that he'll be moved if the Sox sign Pillar.

@alexspeier
A clarification about the position of Jeter Downs’s locker in the Red Sox clubhouse, currently between JD Martinez and Mitch Moreland - the placement was partly for the sake of expediency, in a Red Sox clubhouse that has more players (65) than any spring in memory.

@alexspeier
The Sox assigned Downs the one open spot in their clubhouse. But while there’s benefit to his proximity to vets, he’s likely to be moved if, for instance, the team signs OF Kevin Pillar.

Chris Sale has been dealing with the flu that turned into a mild case of pneumonia during the last week and a half. Roenicke talked to him on the phone today, and said “he feels really good.” Sale will be re-evaluated on Friday.
