Welcome back to our annual positional preview series, in which we take stock of where the Red Sox stand everywhere on the depth chart for each position. At every spot on the diamond, we will look at where Boston stands on the major league roster while also looking at their top prospects at the position. We will also compare how the Red Sox look at the position compared to the rest of the division. Today, we cover designated hitter.
Starter
J.D. Martinez
Martinez will be playing some more outfield than usual this year given the Red Sox’s thin depth on that part of the roster, but he’ll do most of his work at designated hitter once again.
