00:00How concerning is it that he is behind schedule?
00:04I don't, well, I don't think it's concerning,
00:06because I think when you get dropped
00:08into Texas for that first game, it
00:11was he's going to be able to hit the baseball.
00:13And really, that's all that counts
00:15when it comes to Rafael Devers.
00:16No matter what he says, no matter what anyone else says,
00:19he's going to be fine when it comes to that.
00:22Now, obviously, we're going to have to integrate,
00:24is he going to be able to feel the position
00:27if they put him out there?
00:28What we know right now is that he hasn't appeared in a game.
00:31He hasn't even appeared as a game's hitter,
00:33although that seems to be right around the corner.
00:35Alex Bregman has not played second base at all,
00:38although Alex Cora just said that maybe
00:41after this off day on Monday, they really
00:43lock in on who's playing where, because they're just
00:46trying to get guys with bats.
00:47But all we have to go by is the here and the now.
00:50And the here and the now just says to me,
00:52Devers will be ready for opening day as the D8.
00:55Bregman's going to be ready for opening day
00:57as the third baseman, and then they're
00:59going to really hope that Vaughn Grissom and David Hamilton
01:02can do a good enough job where, at least to start the year
01:05until Christian Campbell gets going, maybe in the minor leagues,
01:08that those guys are your second baseman.
01:10That's how it feels right now.
