any power coming from the whole left side of their infield.

IKF is getting a lot of reps at second base.

So it's just Caleb Durbin would be a fine player if in a really good lineup, if he's hitting ninth, but they're relying on him and so many other players to,

They're just putting too much on too many players that don't have the offensive pedigree.

And that's making things look a lot worse.

And that's on the front office as well.

You need to look at your team when you're acquiring Caleb Durbin and say, are we asking too much of this player?

Are we putting this player in a position where he's not going to succeed?

Or if he gets off to a bad start, why?

We're playing in a fishbowl.

We know the Red Sox fans are going to get on him immediately.

We lost Alex Bregman.

We're putting Caleb Durbin into this spot.

So all of these calculations, I feel like, need to go into trades that I don't think Craig Breswell necessarily has a pulse on that stuff, which is fascinating for me for a guy that is so heavily analytically driven.

This is a former player.

Ty Bloom got knocked for not being a former player.

Craig Bresbelow was in Major League Clubhouses for 12 years.

I think it's been pretty shocking for me.

How does he not know the dynamics of a clubhouse?

And he's constantly come out, especially after the Devers trade, saying that he needs to learn to communicate better.
