Red Sox prospect news and Minor Lines: More heroics from Marcelo Mayer

1 day ago | overthemonster.com | Dean Roussel

Photo by Mary DeCicco/MLB Photos via Getty Images The opposite day version of whatever happened to the Red Sox last night in Detroit happened in Portland. And, well, wouldn’t you know, Marcelo Mayer drove in Roman Anthony to also drive away with a win. That’s a line we’re hoping to hear for years to come... after we figure out whatever THIS is up in Boston. Let’s get into Tuesday’s action.

Photo by Nick Cammett/Diamond Images via Getty Images I hope, if applicable, you and yours had a Happy Mother’s Day. Even on a surface level, the Sunday was certainly made sweeter from a great Lucas Giolito outing and a Red Sox series win. Let’s get into Sunday’s action. Worcester: L, 0-6 (BOX SCORE) Just five hits on Sunday afternoon for Worcester, two each from Roman Anthony and Vaughn Grissom.
Red Sox prospect news & minor lines 5/9: Matt McShane is still dealing

5 days ago | overthemonster.com | Dean Roussel

Worcester: L, 4-5 (BOX SCORE) The WooSox got walked-off again on Saturday. Honestly, though, following a performance where all three defensive errors came from pitchers (two on pickoff attempts, one on an errant throw to first) and on a night when the team stranded eleven men despite garnering just six hits, the game shouldn’t have even been this close.

The WooSox got walked-off again on Saturday. Honestly, though, following a performance where all three defensive errors came from pitchers (two on pickoff attempts, one on an errant throw to first) and on a night when the team stranded eleven men despite garnering just six hits, the game shouldn’t have even been this close. The offense can attribute this to a very strong sixth inning topped off by Nathan Hickey’s grand slam to make it a tie game.
Red Sox Prospects, Minor Lines 5/7: Shortstops Rule The Night

Photo by Nick Cammett/Diamond Images via Getty Images Wednesday’s slate had it all: a come-from behind win, a shutout, an extra innings game... let’s get into it!Worcester: W, 6-4 (BOX SCORE) Shane Drohan didn’t get far in this one in Lehigh Valley (Phillies AAA), and did not leave due to injury, which makes my spidey senses tingle there may be a change in Boston’s bullpen soon, but had a nice showing regardless, allowing one run in three innings.

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Tired of seeing the Red Sox lose? Here, have a near defeat that went to extra innings, a rain-out, and two losses marred by strikeouts and defensive errors to lift your spirits. Let’s get into it!Worcester: W, 6-4 (BOX SCORE) The WooSox, having just six hits and six runs on the night, would have almost certainly lost had Blake Sabol taken the night off.
Red Sox Prospect News: Another big day for Marcelo Mayer

1 week ago | overthemonster.com | Dean Roussel

Photo by Mary DeCicco/MLB Photos via Getty Images There’s plenty to muse about on Sunday’s slate of games, so I’ll keep the prelude = short by just saying: if the Red Sox keep losing late leads and struggle to score runs in the late innings, it will be increasingly difficult to justify both Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer staying in Triple-A.
Minor Lines 5/3: Bats dry on rainy day

Photo by Danielle Parhizkaran/The Boston Globe via Getty Images Good morning! Yesterday was graduation day for me as I now have my Master’s Degree (I’m in my last semester, don’t tell anyone, shh!) and the ceremony ended hours before the rain. The Red Sox, of course, were not so lucky; nor were two of the five affiliates that had action Saturday. The bats also had some doom and gloom organization wide, save for outfielder Trayce Thompson’s home run.
Red Sox prospect news and minor lines 4/30: Mikey Romero is also blocked

Photo by Paul Rutherford/Minor League Baseball via Getty Images Happy May! I promise, I won’t hit you with a Justin Timberlake meme right now. On a day when every single game generated a save situation throughout the organization, what I will hit you with is a short pontification on whether a promising prospect is ready for a promotion, but it’s not who you may expect. Let’s get into it.
Minor Lines 4/29: Connor Wong doubles In rehab outing

2 weeks ago | overthemonster.com | Dean Roussel

Photo by Maddie Malhotra/Boston Red Sox/Getty Images The Red Sox offense went to work Tuesday, hitting five home runs through their first three innings. Most of the farm did not quite do this; runners were stranded and hits were hard to come by, unless your name was Nazzan Zanetello, Miguel Bleis or Ronald Rosario.
