Boston Red Sox

The Red Sox have re-signed Mitch Moreland to a two-year, $13 million deal to likely play first base. I don’t get why Boston needed a $13 million backup plan for the possibility that they miss out on all of the other good free agent hitters that are still available. I don’t have to. I’m required to figure out Moreland's fantasy prospects. The 32-year-old hit .246/.326/.443 with 22 homers for the Red Sox last season.

Last week in the Fantrax top-10, we profiled 10 pitchers that could be affordable targets for your fantasy squad.
