Stat predictions for the Red Sox vaunted infield

It’s almost that time of the year. Boston Red Sox baseball is just about a week away, and with the team’s unexpected playoff run last October and the signing of star shortstop (second baseman?) Trevor Story, anticipation has never been higher.

With that being said, I thought it was about time to do some predictions for the 2022 Red Sox.  For simplicity sakes, I projected each player as if they will play a full season, with the exception of the currently injured Chris Sale, who will be addressed along with the pitching staff in a future installment of this series.

This will be a four-part series in which I calculate my own projections for the Red Sox roster, starting with the high-profile infield.  So without further ado, let’s kick things off, starting with one of last year’s postseason heroes.
