The playoffs are nothing more than a distant dream. But most of us sickos who follow this team aren’t going anywhere. It’s summer, it’s the Red Sox, we’ll be watching.
This morning, Mike makes a great case that Nate Eaton of all people is giving us a reason to watch, and that he’s arguably the most interesting player in the lineup right now. The question of what’s interesting about this team is, uhh, interesting. So as we embark on three months of meaningless baseball, what player on this roster intrigues
you the most? Who are you tuning in to see every night? Ceddy as he battles to develop into a complete player? Caleb Durbin as he battles to prove he belongs in an MLB starting lineup? One of the young arms?
For me, Payton Tolle is an easy answer, but that only applies every five days. Otherwise it’s Ceddy. I don’t think he’ll ever consistently figure it out at the plate; he’s going to battle his chase rate for his whole life. But I do think he’ll figure it out often enough that he’s going to put up a monster, top-15-player-in-all-of-baseball type season at some point in his career, and I want to be able to say that I saw it coming.
Talk about whatever you want and be good to one another.
