Red Sox top prospects waiting for Portland teammate labeled ‘Barry Bonds’ to join them in Worcester

WORCESTER — The Red Sox’ “Big Three” prospects of Marcelo Mayer, Roman Anthony, and Kyle Teel all earned their promotions up to Triple-A Worcester after tearing the cover off the ball in Portland.

But the Double-A Sea Dogs are certainly not lacking in terms of star power, even with Boston’s trio of top prospects making the jump up to the next level.

However, it seems all but inevitable that Portland infielder/outfielder Kristian Campbell will join the “Big Three” in Worcester in short order — so long as he continues to torment Double-A pitching.

“We call him Barry Bonds just because of how good of a hitter he is,” Anthony said about Campbell, who has been on a tear since joining Portland in early June.
