So how does this line up shake out? As for previous post: I'd like to see Arrieta signed. |

It was his most frequent and arguably most productive spot last year: https://www.fangraphs.com/statsplits.as ... eason=2017 |

I'd rather let Beni get the extra at bats by being early in the order. |

Since this has become a thing on Twitter tonight, let's be clear: "Red Sox" is always plural (always!), and should never be made into a singular noun. It is always pronounced "Socks" and never as "Sock." A sentence can always be re-worded to use it correctly. This is the hill I choose to die on. Wrong: "JD Martinez is officially a Red Sox." Correct: "JD Martinez is officially a member of the Red Sox" Wrong: "He's the first Red Sox ever to..." Correct: "He's the first Red Sox player ever to..." And so on. |

I mean, I know where it comes from. There are 28 MLB clubs that don't have this issue. Quickly scanning the major sports, I think only the Minnesota Wild have a similar naming convention. |

Wait, so JD Martinez can't be a Red Sock? He's the first Red Sock to.... He's also a member of the Red Sox no? |

Yeah I obviously didn't think very hard. However: none of those are plural nouns, so there's no drive to singularize them like people do with the Sox teams. |
