MLB.com has named shortstop Xander Bogarets and outfielder Jackie Bradley as the Red Sox's top two prospects, and both players could be on the verge of helping out the Boston lineup. "Their progression will kind of determine things, along with the major league need," Red Sox director of player development Ben Crockett said. "I think both guys are at the upper levels now. If they continue to perform, certainly they're guys we like a lot. We need to try to do what we determine is best for each of those guys and their development, and kind of see how that plays out with more and more exposure at the upper levels. I think it's really personalized to how mature the person is and how adept they are at handling challenges and handling these situations. I don't necessarily think that age is a factor that's going to make an absolute determination."
