Neither Alex Bregman nor Garrett Crochet is expected to play in the All-Star Game. Bregman is still in rehabilitation and not ready for daily play this weekend. Garrett Crochet is attending his second All-Star Game and feels more comfortable than last year, although he's adjusting to being recognized more frequently. Jim Rice, an eight-time All-Star, reflects on the differences between his era and the current players, emphasizing the superiority of past pitching and team structures. Speculation surrounds the Red Sox's potential new rookie class and their immediate performance improvements, with hopes for further enhancements at the trade deadline.
Jim Rice said, "[t]he Big 3 is not anything like us. Don't compare them with us. You look at opposing teams that we played, (they) were much better than what you see now."
Garrett Crochet's second All-Star Game brings a sense of comfort he lacked last year, though he is adjusting to increased recognition around town.
