I'm slowly beginning to buy into the logic that the Sox go with Emerson instead of Roch, if only because there's nowhere for Roch to play right now and Emerson isn't expected to move through the system as quickly which gives the Sox more time to sort out who they wanna consider the core If they draft Roch, they would need to DFA Benintendi this year/next year, which would open up a rotating DH, which lets you move Vargas/Colson/Mune/Meidroth/Roch around the infield and still keep all of their bats in the lineup. But apparently Benintendi and Mune share the same agent and would this sour their relationship with the agent and hurt their chances of extending Murakami? or the first man out would move to the bench (Meidroth) which opens up 2B for Roch because I don't think they're moving Colson or Roch to 3B the way Vargas is playing, that could all change. I'm basing my opinion on the current guys performing continue to rake and Murakami gets extended god forbid they cut Murakami loose after 2027 (what a huge loss for the franchise and the culture of the team), but that would allow you to move Vargas to 1B and you can figure out between Roch and Colson who goes to 3B and Meidroth sticks around or Antonacci maybe gets moved back to his original position Basically if they draft Roch, they're gonna have to make some tough decisions in the next 6 to 12 months and someones gonna be off the team or on the bench
