Bobby Dalbec came to camp with a goal of making a strong enough impression to earn a spot on the Boston Red Sox Opening Day roster. The power-hitting prospect has the skill set to open some eyes during spring training but he appears to be a long shot to break camp with the major league club regardless of how he performs.
That’s not a knock on Dalbec or a pessimistic outlook of his potential. The 24-year-old is expected to make his big league debut this season but he probably won’t be with the team out of the gate simply because the Red Sox don’t have room for him.
