There have been a number of standouts in the Boston Red Sox minor league system this year, some of whom have reached the Majors due to that. Those players have been instrumental in keeping the Red Sox in the playoff hunt (even if they’re barely in it).
Michael Chavis is hurt at the moment but rehabbing in Triple-A. His return should bring some more power into the lineup.
Sam Travis is slashing .257/.311/.459 thanks to bashing four doubles and six homers so far. The first baseman has 15 RBI and 15 runs scored and hasn’t stopped impressing since he returned to the Majors.
