Mitch Moreland To DH Saturday
5 years agoBoston Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland (hamstring) is expected to serve as the designated hitter in the Grapefruit League game on Saturday. Moreland should be just fine for Opening Day. The left-handed hitter should start most days at first base against right-handers, and he can give fantasy owners some pop in deep mixed and AL-only leagues as a corner infielder. Moreland batted .252/.328/.507 with an .835 OPS and 19 home runs and 58 RBI in 298 at-bats last year. He's not nearly as good against southpaws, though, which limits his fantasy ceiling.
