J.D Martinez played his first game as a member of the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday. It was easily the most intriguing moment of spring training to this point, as it finally gave us a look at how he’ll fit into the lineup. In a split squad game against the Minnesota Twins, Martinez was slotted in the cleanup spot and placed in left field defensively. Hanley Ramirez was at DH, which is presumably why Martinez got to play the outfield, but expect to see the new Red Sox slugger get at-bats at both corner outfield spots and DH as the spring goes on.
