The Red Sox really need him to increase his production, especially since Bay left.

Well, on the basis of two games, I would say he's going to have a slow start. He doesn't seem to have much back speed, he's hitting right into the shift, and he steadfastly refuses (or, I should say, Terry Francona, the Red Sox manager, refuses) to bunt down the third base line to teach other teams not to shift so radically on him.
That said, two games are far too few upon which to make such judgments, don't you agree?
