The best way for him to help the team was abandon playing the field, so how is putting him back on the field what's best for the team? How is he literally the only guy capable of learning 1st?

This is the problem with not understanding how not every employee can be treated exactly the same.

Brock Holt might not have been given an opportunity to play then. Two completely different scenarios that aren't comparable. You're also intentionally ignoring their message to him about playing the field prior to Triston's injury which was it ain't happening ever this season.

I will become a Catholic and renounce all my priest jokes if that happens.

You don't think they fucked up by lying to him all off-season about their intentions regarding him & 3rd base?

I get not wanting to watch a movie, but at least educate yourself about the movie you're *trying* to talk crap about lol

Just goes to show you that nobody involved wants it because they don't think it's a good idea.

How many fielders do the Sox have in the organization? Why is it easy for Devers to become a competent 1B but impossible for anyone else?

If the FO office wanted it, it'd happen. There's nothing that says the FO wants Devers in the field and Alex is going rogue. They've made it extra clear they don't want him anywhere but DH. Devers isn't great defensively, so if he could learn 1b, anyone else can.

Yeah, I figured something was up when the game finally came on and there was nothing from the booth. Good to know it wasn't just me.

Yeah, that guy is already dead. That's why they're refusing to do it and got that puppet from El Salvador to say he won't send him home.

I'm just happy he didn't let his foot off the gas and give up a bunch of runs when he got a comfortable lead.
