Bobby Poyner is pretty good at this whole pitching thing. The left-handed reliever threw a scoreless inning on Sunday for the Boston Red Sox. That lowered his earned run average to 1.86 over 9 2/3 Major League innings. He’s earned his spot on the big league roster, which means he’s getting closer and closer to losing prospect status.
Not long ago, Tzu-Wei Lin dropped his prospect status too. That meant there was an open spot on the Red Sox top-30 prospect list and it went to catcher Roldani Baldwin.
