I cannot see a single post on this thread. Bliss.

I thought Gio looked pretty solid in his first start.

Yeah, probably. I think Elvis can still be a useful guy to have around. I liked the signing for $3M. He provides insurance for a TA injury that won't leave us with a huge defensive liability out there. Even if Elvis is the guy he's been for the lionshare of the past half decade, he is still worth having around as a bench peice. I just don't think the Sox should pigeonhole him into 2B every single day. As I said when the Sox signed him, best case scenario is Romy, Sosa or JRod ripping that job away from him ASAP.

Been looking for it for awhile. Andrus deserves a spot on the bench next few games. Let Romy play for a few days, Elvis has been dreadful.

I think its probably safe to say Elvis will give you better defense at any infield position than Romy. Elvis has looked good at 2B. Its obviously early, but Elvis has looked poor at the plate including not executing with RISP less than 1 out situations a few times. I see no problem with giving Romy at bats there if Elvis isn't hitting to let him try to earn that spot back. Obviously this is a larger picture thing, I am not suggesting they just ditch the Elvis 2B experiment less than a week into the season. But I do think Romy deserves a start at 2B in this series; I personally would have had him in there today. This is coming from a guy that had zero issue whatsoever with signing Elvis for $3M, and think he adds value to this roster even if he's not hitting much. Realistically, outside of a hot few weeks with the Sox last season, Elvis hasn't hit much for a half decade, so I am not surprised.

Yoan has already amassed 0.5 fWAR in 4 games. Good for third in baseball behind Adam Duvall and Wander Franco at 0.6.

Yep. Frankly, Robert has looked lost in the box for the vast majority of his MLB career, yet he's been 22% above average during that time. Just goes to show you the kind of upside this guy has if he can stay healthy and if things ever do really click for him offensively.
