Moreland-pearce platoon returns at 1B: Devers eyes consistency at 3B
BOSTON -- At one corner of the infield, the Red Sox have a platoon made up of gritty professionals Mitch Moreland and Steve Pearce, who complement each other just about perfectly.

At the other corner is Rafael Devers, who has perhaps the best chance of being a breakout player for the 2019 Red Sox.

• Around the Horn: Sox seek clarity at catcher

Both corners should represent a source of power for a lineup that again hopes to be one of MLB's best.

Here is a closer look:

First things first
Moreland will be the primary starter at first -- if only because the Red Sox will face more righty starters than lefties. The left-handed hitter likes to swing for the fences and that pinch-hit, three-run rocket he hit at Dodger Stadium to help turn Game 4 of the World Series around might still be going.
