Devers has the most errors of any active 3B in baseball and it's not close. He should NOT play 1B ever since he has too many defensive deficiencies. 1 - hands of stone, 2 - No balance, 3 - No footwork, 4 - poor baseball acumen judging which ground balls to go for, 5- Inaccurate arm, 6 - Likely to lose playing time to errant throws leading him into the way of the runner, 7 - slow first step, 8 - horrible at charging ground balls and throwing so 1B would be even more difficult for a player who was bad at it from 3B, 9 - Terrible on pop-ups and would need to learn the reverse spin along the first base line and 10 - Slow hands could lead to a pick-off hitting him in the face. The worst 3B of all time for Boston won't be better at 1B, he'll be even worse so burning his gloves is still a great idea.
