Red Sox Propect Watch: Monge promoted, Benintendi struggles

As we get to the end of May, the performance of prospects starts to become more important as they could be used in a potential trade.

It would seem that Blake Swihart‘s seamless transition to left field has quieted some fans call for Andrew Benintendi to be called up to the majors after only a couple weeks above A ball.  As this article will discuss, Benintendi’s rise has been slowed for the moment.  What about Rusney Castillo as a fill-in?  We will look at how he is doing

With Clay Buchholz‘ demotion from the Red Sox rotation, who is down on the farm that could take a start or two that might be better than Sean O’Sullivan.  We will take a look at some candidates.  They are one injury away from dipping in the minor league pool again.

Sean Coyle was demoted down to Double-A Portland, how is he making out?

Keeping a rotation going, we will re-visit how guys in the lower levels are faring as well.  Perhaps you will hear some of those names in an upcoming deal also.  The Short Season Lowell Spinners will be starting their season June 17, so in a couple weeks you will start seeing reports on how those young players, many straight out of the upcoming MLB draft, will be faring in their first taste of professional baseball.

Let’s get started.
