Over the Monster, a Boston Red Sox community

Henry Owens finally gets hit hard, Jacobs wishes he would start doing the same, and De La Cruz's transition to High-A is a slow one.

An injury, a promising stretch, and a former starter trying to make it in relief in this week's Salem update.

Cecchini and Coyle are tearing up the Carolina League, while Augliera is attempting to throw quality strikes.

Updates from Salem, featuring potential breakouts and prospects in need of one

Salem was where much of Boston's top prospect pitching was found in 2012.

The Red Sox had two well-regarded prospects at the High-A level for much of the 2012 season.

Travis Shaw played well enough to end the year a level above, Michael Almanzar makes significant strides, and Heiker Meneses had to be demoted to play.

Keury De La Cruz gets a last-second promotion, Keith Couch dazzles in his last batch of starts, and Adalberto Ibarra has a strong second half.

Sean Coyle is finishing the year in much better shape than it started, Brandon Jacobs is struggling in August, and Yeiper Castillo has looked good after his promotion.

Michael Almanzar is better in a relative sense, David Renfroe gets promoted, and Miguel Celestino can't keep the ball in the park.
