Five Boston Red Sox prospects to watch in Double-A

With the minor league baseball season creeping up, it's easy to get excited. We're looking at the Boston Red Sox MiLB teams and highlighting five prospects to watch at each level.

With the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox out of the way, we head down to Double-A and the Portland Sea Dogs.

Like with every list, things will get a little tricky. We still aren't 100% sure where some players will start the season. Due to that, a few names aren't going to be featured. If there's a good chance they'll start in Double-A, the player could find his way in the article. Someone that's around 50/50 is going to be left off, though.

Portland is one of the more intriguing teams due to this uncertainty. Is Ceddanne Rafaela going to start here or in Triple-A? And even if he does start with the Sea Dogs, how long until he gets promoted?

At the same time, when does Nick Yorke arrive? What about Marcelo Mayer and Blaze Jordan?

The good news is that not everything surrounding Portland has a question mark. Some players will start the year with the Sea Dogs and should be on the roster for at least a solid chunk of the season. Luckily, it's clear who some of those players will be.

That leads us to the main point of the article, though. Which prospects do you need to watch for in 2023? We'll highlight five players on the Portland roster that deserve your attention this season.

Did all the players you were expecting make it on? If not, tell everyone you know to read the article and yell at me. If they did make it, tell everyone you know to read the article and love me. Either way, tell everyone to read it. Cool? Sweet, moving on.
