Jones: Who Is Going To Lead Off For Red Sox?
BOSTON (CBS) - Thursday night means it's time for some Role Play on The Adam Jones Show's Game
of Jones!
Rich Keefe moderated the session, and hit Jones with the following questions:
You are Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask. Would you rather the team go out and get a scoring winger or a top-four defenseman prior to the trade deadline?
Jones as Rask: "As a goaltender, I would rather see a top-four defenseman. Put McQuaid back where he belongs, someone who could potentially pair up with Dougie Hamilton on a second pairing, if Claude Julien decides to go back to Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg as a shutdown pairing. Let's face it, how realistic is it that Peter Chiarelli will go out and find a kind of sniper that will take our offense to the next level?"
You are now Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. Are you happy with your decision to go on the David Letterman show last night?
Jones as Belichick: "No"
You are now NBA commissioner Adam Silver. Any changes to All-Star Weekend you want to make?
Jones as Silver: "How about expanding the All-Star rosters? How about expanding it by a spot or two? You already have more than 12 guys on an actual NBA team."
You are now Red Sox manager John Farrell. Do you have one leadoff hitter in mind for this upcoming season or do you envision it being a committee?
Jones as Farrell: "I envision a committee right now. We start with first off trying to figure out how we're going to balance Shane Victorino, Rusney Castillo and Mookie Betts. Not saying it will be a group of three out the shoot; we know Hanley Ramirez is going to play in the outfield and play everyday when healthy, which is a big wild card with Hanley. Early on it will be a committee, but ultimately I certainly envision settling in on one guy. If you're going to pin me down on one of those three guys, it would be Mookie Betts. But we're not going to ask him right out of the shoot to do that for 162 games."
You are now golfer Tiger Woods. Are you really going to sit out of the Masters?
Jones as Woods: "I'm not going to sit out. I should. I'm such a spotlight hog that I won't play until the weekend before the Masters. Hell no am I passing on The Masters! I should probably take a year of, but I will be out there because I am an attention spotlight hog."
