The acquisition of Mitch Moreland certainly lacked the emotional upheaval of the trade for Chris Sale. Moreland was somewhat under the radar as the more familiar names were mentioned for Boston’s potential replacement of David Ortiz as designated hitter. Moreland will never be confused with Edwin Encarnacion, Jose Bautista or even Mike Napoli. Moreland does, however, remind me of a player in the Red Sox past – Brian Daubach or the “Belleville Basher.
