he's fine in a platoon role. Otherwise, he's garbage.

He probably will be the Red Sox full time 1st baseman

According to Drombrowski and Farrell Hanley and Mitch will platoon at 1B and DH. The Red Sox don't want either playing 130 games at 1B. It'll be more like 100/62 for them.

Don't think either one of them could play that much... But I would think Mitch would get more time in the field

Thankfully that shouldn't be the case... his bat is horrible for a 1B/DH type.

If it's that bad, then why was he signed? I mean was it really because the Red Sox needed a 1stbaseman?

because the Sox think he can be a useful platoon player that can give Hanley some rest?

that's about as useful as he'll get
