Red Sox weigh six man infield design for 1942 season
Cronin reportedly ponders a six man infield with four deep playing infielders, a catcher and a pitcher, using outs outside the infield as doubles and homers for over the fence. Lexically, Boston would field Lupien Doerr Tabor across the infield with Fox in right and Simmons in left, while Ed Lake or Pesky misses. The plan aims to keep pitching and catching strong, while outfield defense would be weak and overall outlook remains finish-first in division.
