Things seemed to fall into place for the Boston Red Sox’s lineup at the end of the 2015 season, but that doesn’t mean there’s no work to be done for next year.
The Red Sox’s starting position players can hit, and there are a handful of great defenders on the field, but the roster lacks depth and experience to account for possible injuries and other unforeseen circumstances. And this is most evident in the outfield and at first base.
Boston has a great, young outfield made up of Rusney Castillo, Mookie Betts and Jackie Bradley Jr., but the team lacks viable options to back them up.
