Mitch Moreland to start the season in a platoon

Mitch Moreland (knee) will primarily be used at first base when the Red Sox face right-handed starters, Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com reports. (MLB.com)

Fantasy Impact:

Moreland will once again primarily be limited to facing right-handed pitchers. Last season, 82% of his 335 plate appearances came against righties. When Moreland is off, Michael Chavis will face lefties, and Jose Peraza will play second base. Moreland is not worth drafting in standard leagues unless he gains a full-time role.
