On the list of issues for this Red Sox team heading into 2020, the infield defense probably isn’t too high for most people. After what the pitching staff did last season, that is the focus, and for good reason. That said, depending on who you ask and/or what metrics you look at, the infield glovework is average-at-best, and potentially much, much worse than that. Based on what I saw last year — and I didn’t really watch José Peraza, so that’s a pretty big unknown — I would probably have them a little worse than average.
