By Hunter Noll
Red Sox High-A (Greenville)
Eddinson Paulino is slashing .257/.338/.420 with 28 doubles, four triples, and 12 home runs. The left-handed hitting utility has driven in 58 runs, scored 68 more, and stolen 26 bases. Paulino is one steal and one home run away from tying his career highs.
Bryan Gonzalez is slashing .252/.317/.404 with 15 doubles, seven triples, and 11 home runs. He's driven in 56 runs, scored 68 more, and stolen 15 bases. Gonzalez possesses plus-raw power but needs to cut back on the strikeouts.
Allan Castro is slashing .283/.355/.446 with 11 doubles, two triples, and four home runs in High-A. The switch-hitting outfielder has driven in 17 runs, scored 23 more, and stolen four bases in 43 games.
