    Moose over Hosmer in my eyes.

    Better IF D all around and more power.

    Plus, why roast Moose for his first 2-3 years in the bigs?
    Moustakas is a negative WAR defensive player though? Having him at 3B and an inexperienced Devers at 1B seems like it could be an issue.

    Steamer projects a 2018 wRC+ of 112 for Mike Moustakas and 110 for Rafael Devers:

    I project a 2018 wRC+ of 114 for Devers and 106 for Moustakas.

    None of the Top 25 free agents will sign with the Red Sox, according to predictions from MLB.com columnist Jim Duquette:

    He's a little whacked IMO. He doesn't even have the Red Sox listed as one of the teams interested in JD Martinez.

    Negative defensive WAR is nonsense.

    I'm not for replacing Devers with Moustakas.

    I'm for replacing Moreland with Moustakas and improving our 3B defense along the way.

    It's turning 3B into a Gold Glove position, but it might be turning something close to the worst 3B defense into something close to average along the way.

    I don't think I've read a report that the Red Sox are interested in J.D. Martinez.

    I've read many reports that the Red Sox should be interested in J.D. Martinez but nothing citing a Red Sox source indicating the team is interested in Martinez.

    And that makes Devers a better fielder how?

    Moustakas has posted negative defensive numbers ONE TIME in his MLB career. He's a very good defensive third baseman


    Devers isn't. Why do you think moving Devers to first is a bad idea?

    I wonder what the market for him will be.

    With free agency only a few dozen hours old, the number of reports that do exist are probably half misdirection anyway...

    And having Devers and JD Martinez as the corner infielders is like giving up on defense.

    Sounds like the whole EE situation. Everyone but DD was "interested."
