00:00I don't know if second base would be a possibility to be able to maybe get that right-handed

00:06bat into the lineup or what you make of Von Grissom's quote to Chris Cotillo about quote

00:14I just want to play my game if they like it they like it if they don't F it I'm here for

00:19a reason I'm sure there's a next guy up if they don't like it curious quote what do you

00:26make of it?

00:28Well number one I feel like they have a lot of options at second and when you start talking

00:31about dealing off resources I just think you need to spend what you have on you know a

00:36pitcher and a right-handed hitting first baseman.

00:39As far as Von Grissom goes you know in my opinion he gets activated and goes to AAA

00:44the rest of the year like I don't think he's in the picture this year I mean he missed

00:48all of camp he kind of had offseason was a little bit you know you talk about some injuries

00:53maybe in the offseason that led into camp he's been hurt all year long I mean it's

00:57just mid-July like throwing him to the big leagues is throwing him to the Wolves so you

01:03just put him down at AAA you let him play it out try to get him comfortable at second

01:07base with the eye of next year competing for that everyday job at second base it's like

01:12you know he's still a young kid who's youngest player on the Red Sox when they brought him

01:15up so I just he hasn't played he needs to play baseball again and I think bringing him

01:20right to the big leagues is probably a mistake I wouldn't be shocked if they send him down

01:23to AAA for the rest of the year.
