BOSTON -- Standing on the same field where he hopes to take frequent aim at the Green Monster at some point in the near future, Red Sox prospect Bobby Dalbec got a rare double honor prior to Saturday's matchup with the Mets when he was named the organization's Minor Leaguer of the Year for offense and defense.
This is the first time since the Red Sox started giving out both awards in 2005 that one player has won both.
"I think it took a special performance on both sides of the ball," said Red Sox director of player development Ben Crockett.
