Agreed with @bosox79 on Chavis. Allegedly, his defensive issues in the minors were related to lateral movement towards the left (per Sox Prospects). That's not as big of an issue at 2B. Especially with the greater emphasis on shifting. If Chavis were a passable 3B he'd have been on a ton of top 100 lists. He was only on 1 because no on knew where he'd play. He now has position; don't think he'll be great there, but I think he's fine.
Which is pretty much what Devers is at 3B. You take that type of offensive upside with averagish defense every time.
*Note I think that I think Devers still has significantly more offensive upside than Chavis. I think Chavis settles into Steve Pearce - which would be great as a 2B. Devers could be much more.
