A prospect I hadn't heard of caught my attention - Xander Bogaerts. He is listed as one of the Sox top 20 prospects. And while it has taken Jose Iglesius longer than expected to get his offense together, watch for top prospect Xander Bogaerts to push Jose for the future job at shortstop for the Sox.
Unlike Iglesius who is 5'9" at best, Bogaerts is 6'3".
Iglesius is from Cuba. Bogaerts is from Aruba.
Unlike Iglesius who struggles on offense, Bogaerts has "an advanced bat & raw power" per the Sox website.
Unlike Iglesius who is a defensive specialist, Bogaerts is working to improve his defense.
Too bad we can't clone the 2 of them & come up with a Nomar in his hayday. But I'm glad to see that the Sox have an option to Iglesius in the system.
