A 3B for a 3B? Nice.

Don’t see a lot of those. According to SoxProspects, pitch recognition was a problem. Looks like it’s improving a bit. . . .

Will Middlebrooks is, to this point, unquestionably the breakout player of the year for the Sox. Last year he was mediocre in A-ball. This year, having advanced to the next level despite only questionably earning it, he’s looking like a top-level prospect with, admittedly, some good luck on balls in play, but with every aspect of his game noticeably advancing basically by the week.

And then you consider that he projects to add some good power.

Before the season I did a write up where I asked the question

Why do people have Renfroe higher than Middlebrooks? Renfroe was moving to 3B and Middlebrooks has a bunch of plus tools. I’ve never given up on Will. He was very, very young.
