Taking the moniker "super utility" to the ultimate level... He will be starting at catcher on Friday.

If he has speed comparable to Florial/Brennan .... I can see him learning CF like Freeman (who isn't speed demon either). But, didn't think Fenway with all its uniqueness is the place to learn when you have 3 others than have played CF before (if you include Kwan).

 

[Real Deal]

No fucking way Arias is in CF... I'm enthused to say the least about this one

And Morgan to 15 day DL with shoulder inflammation for Lively.

 

[Otsego Mar]

It would be funny to see that...

Now that's a stinky jock

Team should petition the league to see if they can let a pitcher bat for Hedges or something.

 

[Stark]

Arias over Florial in center when both are in the lineup (and in the field) is certainly a choice. Based on what I can find, Arias does not have a single professional inning in center field but has obviously played some right field (and also a little bit of left).

Vogt has been cooking with lineups so far this year - I'll give him benefit of the doubt.

Guess we can rule out 'throwing too hard' as a contributor to the arm injuries.

Let’s remember that playing outfield is not the
same at all ballparks. Some are more difficult than others & Boston is a tough place with the various angles & unique features.

Good point

I was a proponent of Curry going down, but was about to suggest that Cookie could piggy back w Lively tonight on 4th day (so lite work as long man). Curry could have taken Cookie 4th spot for now. And then decide on 5th in 10 days w Lively or cookie.

I’d have sex with his jock if he played catcher as well. Just sayin

Hedhehog handles catching duties only and the pitcher hits?

 

[Tondo]

Arias in CF?

This seems a bit cocky from the coaches and not necessary at all with the other options at hand to handle the position.

Also don't like benching Freeman after a 2 XBH game and some good plays in CF in game 1 and the message it sends to him.

Plenty of ways to get Arias bat into the lineup. This wasn't necessary at this point of the season.

I think Mad made a solid point. RF maybe harder to play than CF when it comes to Fenway.
