Pink Sox followers have been spoiled by the rosters of current Spring Breakout video games. That’s what occurs when your farm system is stocked with among the easiest prospects in baseball.
The spring breakout roster isn’t fairly as loaded this 12 months. Right here’s the staff that will probably be within the dugout in opposition to the Orioles prospects tonight, per MLB.com:

Even when we don’t have a Roman Anthony or Marcelo Mayer on the roster, we do have two elite prospects in shortstop Franklin Arias and pitcher Kyson Witherspoon. We’ve seen Arias make cameos in every of the final two spring trainings, however this can most likely be the primary look most Sox followers get of Witherspoon. They are going to probably be the focal point.
However the man I’ll be expecting is one other shortstop: Dorian Soto. Soto is an 18-year-old who has but to make his stateside debut. It’s irresponsible to attract any conclusions from the .307/.362/.428 slash line he put up within the Dominican Summer season League final 12 months. However he’s a switch-hitting infielder with a giant body (he’s already 6-3) and big offensive upside. He’s not going to make an affect within the massive leagues any time quickly, if he ever does. However it ought to be enjoyable watching him climb up the ladder, so he’s the man I’ll be paying probably the most consideration to. Who’s yours?
Discuss prospects, no matter else you need, and, as all the time, be good to 1 one other.
