In the grand Red Sox tradition of
"Where would we play Willie McGee?", comes
"The Great Michael Chavis Conundrum". The 22-year-old
Chavis just hit his 29th home run this season—playing for both High-A Salem and the AA Portland Sea Dogs. Going forward, it seems that the Red Sox third-base job is a "lock" for rookie
Rafael Devers, so Chavis could be roadblocked to the majors (barring a trade). At 5'10", 190, Chavis has a "fireplug" kind of body-type—often a plus at the
Hot Corner. Scouts are not crazy about his defense—but then again they aren't all that 'ga-ga' about Devers defensively either. The kid
could move to a corner OF spot as well—but you may have noticed that
that scene is pretty crowded at Fenway! In any event, this is a
very nice problem to have.
