Perhaps it’s that I already miss questioning every decision made by the manager of the Red Sox (shoutout to John Farrell), but I just can’t help myself from feeling early-season pessimism when it comes to one particular managerial decision in Boston. As Alex Cora has mentioned a few times throughout spring training, Mookie Betts will be leading off for the Sox this season. I highly doubt this pessimism is actually linked to me missing Farrell. I just have this weird personal thing where if a guy ever drives in eight runs in one game, I don’t want to see him hitting leadoff ever again.
