Over the Monster, a Boston Red Sox community

Ranaudo reminds the prospect world he exists, and a pair of Double-A relievers you might want to keep an eye on.

Brandon Workman has a rough start, Stolmy Pimentel has a strong finish to an otherwise tough season, and Aaron Kurcz completes his best professional season.

Drake Britton is experiencing a personal renaissance, Jackie Bradley has a bit of a power outage, and Xander Bogaerts is pretty much a superhero.

Three Red Sox farmhands who began the season at High-A Salem have all moved up to Double-A Portland.

Kolbrin Vitek returns to Portland after a long layoff, even Jackie Bradley's slumps are productive, and Chris Balcom-Miller is adjusting to life in the pen.

Boston's farm system might have been average heading into the year, but prospect guru after prospect guru are starting to believe in them.

You've never seen an idea so brilliantly wonderful, and ridiculously awful, as the Eastern League's proposed All-Star Hitting Challenge. This is a video that must be seen to believed. Pity the poor (or lucky?) Portland Sea Dogs who will have to take part?

Bryce Brentz is walking, Drake Britton is walking the opposition, and Chris Hernandez walks the fine line between succces and failure.

Jacoby Ellsbury has been missing in the lineup since mid-April, but he's reportedly heading to Double-A to continue his rehab process.

Jackie Bradley just keeps on hitting, Stolmy Pimentel keeps on struggling, and Aaron Kurcz loves strikeouts nearly as much as he loves issuing walks.
