Moreland is hitting .318 (7-for-22) with a homer and seven RBI in nine spring games.

EDGE Analysis

Moreland is the expected to be part of a strict platoon at first base, starting against right-handers while Hanley Ramirez steps in against lefties. Ramirez will be the regular designated hitter against right-handers, but against lefties, manager John Farrell intends to use Chris Young as the DH or to give a regular position player an off day from the field. That means Moreland may not see the 500-plus plate appearances he's enjoyed in three of the last four seasons.
