They have to sort out the intake of international players a bit more. It’s still a mostly arbitrary process if you can make under the table deals to circumvent the rules.

Moncada had 23 errors at second base last season, not very good at all. And I don’t ever see him taking Pedroia’s spot in Boston. So what is more likely, a trade or a position change for Moncada?
Eric D.
He will most likely turn to third base, and Devers most likely to first base. I agree, Boston has had elite second base prospects in the past change positions necause of Pedroia.

Mookie Betts, for example.
Draven Moss
They aren’t going to trade him. He costed too much for them to do that. He will likely end up at 3rd base, or perhaps the outfield. He could stick at 2nd so long as he fixes his footwork, but Pedroia has him blocked.

Error totals in the minors are meaningless. There are very good defensive SS’ s that had high error totals in the minors.
The bat is good enough to play pretty much anywhere if he does move off of short. A lot can change over the next 18 months, he’ll be starting somewhere for the Red Sox in 2017.

Yea the only players the Red Sox would even consider moving him for start and end with one name and that player is not moving anytime soon so I’m not going to even bring him up. He will also probably move to 3rd as others have mentioned or I could possibly see him moving to LF as well. I don’t see JBJ being consistent enough to merit a spot in the team’s OF long term. And I also think last season was a flash in the pan.

He has the ability to basically play anywhere. Third seems to be the most logical spot because of Bogaerts at third. He is raw defensively but has shown good strides over the past year.
