Red Sox vs. Yankees: 1st Base

First basae is often a position to see power hitting and average defense. Although many teams might have to settle for average defense, the Red Sox get a boost from having Kevin Youkilis on the field, 135 '07 games at first base, 0 errors. Meanwhile, Youkilis also contributed .288-16 numbers, and a .390 OBP. Then with the Yankees, thefirst base position is in jeprody. Giambi has proves that he has officially become only a DH, and will be splitting time with Hideki Matsui. So Someone must be found to take over at first base. Meanwhill, the Red Sox have amazing depth at first base, Sean Casey. Casey is a preastine .301 career hittler, and hit .296-4 in '07. The Red Sox are gifted to have the First Basemen the have, and have no trouble dominating this position.
