POLL: J.D. Martinez Still Seen As Top Bat Choice For Sox

Continued voting in our latest FenwayNation Poll shows that a plurality of readers (down from an earlier majority) prefer J.D. Martinez as the top choice to fill the Red Sox offensive void. As the chart shows, 46% now choose Martinez, followed by 22% who pick Manny Machado. Picking up the most ground from our last check is Eric Hosmer—who now garners fully 20% of the total vote. Former Red Sox IF Eduardo Nunez checks in next at 7%, followed Christian Yelich at 3% and Kyle Schwarber at 2%. No one has yet voted for Mark Reynolds. We should note that a few voters mentioned their preference for Jose Abreu—who was inadvertently left off the initial poll. You can still vote HERE.
