J.D. Martinez will
begin his Red Sox career in left-field—
not at DH. In an exhibition tilt this afternoon in Fort Myers, the new Boston slugger will take his first hacks in anger while wearing
Carmine Hose. A

Alex Cora has Martinez batting clean-up today—behind
Hanley Ramirez and ahead of
Xander Bogaerts. It will be interesting to see where he settles into a standard, everyday line-up once the season begins. Stay tuned!
