In 14 years since Boston discovered Devers in the Dominican Republic he has NEVER been able to field above a .950 fielding percentage yet it was often reported how he was improving. He's someone who simply can't field at a MLB level. 1B, 3B, OF it doesn't really matter. He's now locked in and has stopped pouting so why not just let him thrive at DH and think of himself as the second coming of Papi? He's nowhere near as good a hitter but I think he thinks he is. Keep him happy, productive and without a glove on!! I would offer TB Wilyer Abreu for Yandy Diaz and call up Roman Anthony.

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.
