Devers at 1b would be fine, its a pretty easy transition for most 3b. The last 5 hitters in their lineup currently are almost replacement level, you seem to be fine with that
What did I say I'm fine with? I know Story is mid, I sent that xwOBA pic bc I thought MAYBE he could have connected the dots. I didn't like the signing at the time and it was horrible process. Rafaela is doing things better than last year and plays generational defense. The lineup is good
The lineup ranks firmly in the top 10 for most metrics and the defense is now in the top 6 after being 26th last year. It's clear this front office rightfully prioritized it and it's beginning to bear some fruit at least in a small sample. Devers DHing was never the wrong decision
They are.. 1 game over .500? What is the logic of "our offense is good so we choose to not make it better". Maybe the sox will make playoffs, maybe they won't
They famously won a World Series in 2018 with him at third, which is a more premium defensive position than first, and his defensive metrics then were about the same as they were last year.
He played 116 games at 3rd in 2018. He’s played the vast majority of games there since then. The team being fine with him manning the hot corner for 7 years, but now feeling like he’d be too much of a defensive detriment at first, is hard to reconcile.
