Short-A (Lowell Spinners)
Gilberto Jimenez is doing Gilberto Jimenez things again. He has multiple hits in three straight games and is rocking a .364 batting average. The 19-year-old has 11 doubles, three triples, and two home runs. He’s driven in 17 runs and scored 33 more, stealing 11 bases as well. The centerfielder is plus-plus at everything except power.
Joe Davis has power though. The 19th-round pick from this year’s draft is hitting .310 with eight doubles and five home runs in 32 games. He’s also driven in a ridiculous 27 runs and scored 17 more.
Nick Decker also has power for days. The outfielder is hitting .243 with eight doubles, three triples, and six home runs. He’s driven in 23 runs and scored 19 more, stealing three bases. The 19-year-old has done nothing to make you believe he isn’t going to be the stud many expect him to become.
Cameron Cannon is hitting .240 with 11 doubles and two home runs. The shortstop already has 12 runs scored and 18 RBI in 31 games for Lowell. Drafted this season in the second round, he hasn’t had much time to adjust himself but is doing just fine so far.
Noah Song is ridiculous. The right-handed pitcher has thrown 11 innings so far. In that time, he’s allowed four hits and walked two, striking out 15 – oh and he hasn’t allowed any runs. He has a .111 BAA and 0.55 WHIP. The Red Sox nailed it with this pick.
Jake Cosart is back baaaayyyyyyybeeeeeeeee! The right-handed pitcher is returning from injury and has had an amazing year combined between Advanced-A and Double-A. He’s thrown 1/3 of an inning so far as he eases back into things.
Chris Murphy has a 0.69 ERA so far. In 26 innings, he’s struck out 27 batters and has yet to allow a home run. The left-handed pitcher was drafted in the sixth round this year and looks fantastic. He has a .217 BAA and 0.92 WHIP.
Ryan Fernandez has thrown 37 1/3 innings for Lowell so far. The right-handed pitcher has a 1.69 ERA, .176 BAA, and 0.86 WHIP. He’s struck out 34 batters and has a 3-0 record with four saves.
