The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
That's a lot of faith in Devers, no? I guess you expect the left/right set-up. My thinking was sort of right-heavy, but would put Nunez at the 2 and Benintendi behind JD.

Nunez has no business in the 2 spot.
It was his most frequent and arguably most productive spot last year:

Since this has become a thing on Twitter tonight, let's be clear: "Red Sox" is always plural (always!), and should never be made into a singular noun. It is always pronounced "Socks" and never as "Sock." A sentence can always be re-worded to use it correctly. This is the hill I choose to die on.
Wrong: "JD Martinez is officially a Red Sox." Correct: "JD Martinez is officially a member of the Red Sox"
Wrong: "He's the first Red Sox ever to..." Correct: "He's the first Red Sox player ever to..."

I mean, I know where it comes from. There are 28 MLB clubs that don't have this issue. Quickly scanning the major sports, I think only the Minnesota Wild have a similar naming convention.

There are others. Magic, Heat, Thunder, Jazz, Lightning, and Avalanche to name some.

Yeah I obviously didn't think very hard.
However: none of those are plural nouns, so there's no drive to singularize them like people do with the Sox teams.
