Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 5299317, member: 1414"] Yes, I read that after the fact excuse making. I also read what he said in his own words at the time. You miss the point. His request not to be moved is absurd. He shouldn't need to be asked, he should enthusiastically volunteer. Should have run out there with a glove the moment Casas went down, huddled the players and told the team not to worry that they've got this and will be stronger for it. That's what I expect from my highest paid player. The team has lacked anybody like that for several years. Varitek, Pedroia and Ortiz carried that banner and the team followed suit. It's mostly been a leadership vacuum since other than JD and Mookie. Bregman is that guy and I think Duran is getting closer. Hopefully Anthony, Narvaez and Mayer pick up those habits. If you've seen the inside reports from people close to the Sox, that's a big part of what motivated this. [/QUOTE]
