00:00While the Red Sox analytical department has clearly told Alex Corr and crew this is what
00:07we need to do, the numbers kind of back it up. Since he entered Major League Baseball,
00:12Rafael Devers is the worst defensive third baseman in the league. He ranks 103rd
00:20out of 103 qualified players based on innings played at the position. So yes, he can hit,
00:28but not exactly winning any gold gloves or coming close over there at the hot corner.
00:35So I guess I take back everything I said that he should be playing third base if he sucks that bad
00:42at it. You know, maybe he should be playing first base instead of this other kid that they got over
00:50there or just make him the DH because he can sure hit. But Bregman doesn't have that problem.
00:56Bregman is a gold Glover. He is a great infielder and obviously Devers isn't. I thought of it
01:03strictly from, you know, our conversation yesterday from the standpoint of, you know,
01:07what bat do I want more? I don't deny Bregman can hit. I don't deny his playoff acumen. I don't
01:13deny his rings. The bottom line is he's a winner and then he's a gold Glover. I mean, repetitively,
01:22he's gotten gold gloves and Devers sucks at third. I didn't know he was that bad, but he's
01:28that bad. So if he's that bad, what GM and manager in their right mind wouldn't want to
01:34make that switch and rectify the problem. Well, we know that he's not happy with it.
01:41He's he's not happy with the move. So they're going to have to do that there on that.
