Red Sox infielder Michael Chavis is an odd fit for first base platoon

There’s a spot for Michael Chavis on the Boston Red Sox roster but it might not be the right spot to maximize his strengths.

Ron Roenicke addressed the role of Chavis with the media on Sunday, according to The Boston Globe’s Peter Abraham. The Red Sox interim manager views Chavis as a platoon partner with veteran Mitch Moreland at first base.

“When a left hander is pitching against us it will probably be for sure Mitch’s day off. I think that’s what we’re kind of thinking now,” said Roenicke.
