This would solve wonders for the lineup if he’s able to be a serviceable 2B. Played in college and some in Low A so it doesn’t seem to be completely unrealistic. Opening day lineup?
C Narvaez
1B Contreras
2B Duran
3B Mayer
SS Story
LF Anthony
CF Rafaela
RF Abreu

Or….he plays DH and we trade for a good 2B?
Duran to 2B is the single dumbest idea I’ve seen repeatedly floated around by Red Sox fans this offseason.
No. This is lazy. They spent so much time trying to get him to be an outfielder. He is a good player but they set the price on him so high that no one is interested in reaching it.
He played 2b in college, Sox drafted him with the intention of turning him into an outfielder. Who knows from a pre-spring training photo, they may just be messing around.
Why are you guys always mad about everything? They’re trying to fit all of their best players into the lineup, maybe it won’t work, it probably won’t work, but what’s the harm in trying?
This has disaster written all over it, and it will not come as a surprise to anyone. Please don’t do this.
Reporting extra early to camp or is this a pic of them just b.s’ing last year?
Trade Durran !
It’s not unusual for players to screw around especially in the beginning of camp and play out of position. This is most likely a big bag of nothing.
<cough> Mookie Betts…
Im sure casas played 3b in high school. Let’s have him be our third baseman lmaoooooo gtfoh
It’s absolutely worth at least trying it out in spring training
This is the best option!!
But when Raffy takes reps at SS everyone loses their minds!
It’s January…
Can we not?
Duran as an average 2nd baseman would solve all our problems
You lose his speed at 2B though. Rafaela should play 2B or just DFA Yoshida, and have all the outfielders cycle through DH until Casas is back.
The infield is going to be a disaster this year.
Is that even an infielders glove??
Completely fine with this.
