<p>Johnson dominates, Ramirez looks done with Double-A, and Diaz's first two starts have gone well.</p> <h4>Brian Johnson, LHP</h4>
<p>Johnson has only been at Double-A for 54 innings and nine starts, but thanks to his polish and command, all he's done is dominate. He's struck out 7.7 batters per nine, so that's not the reason for it by itself, but that plus his lovely walk rate has resulted in 3.4 times as many strikeouts as walks. He's kept the ball in the park, averaged six innings per start, and kept hits to a minimum.</p>
<p>These kinds of numbers won't follow Johnson forever, as his likely projection puts him as a back-end starter, with a ceiling that's maybe a little higher. He's likely to continue to crush his opposition in Double-A, however, as he's just too advanced for them. Maybe he scuffles a little bit as Eastern League batters adjust to him, but he's further along in his development than most starters in the system, thanks to his time in college -- including the College World Series -- and stint on Team USA.</p>
<p>It's past time to pay attention to Johnson as a legitimate pitching prospect in the Red Sox system, though. The dreams for Allen Webster and Anthony Ranaudo are nice and all (and should exist, as they're talented arms), but they've come at the expense of Johnson, who likely has a better shot at being a major-league starter than two pitchers who have been dogged by questions about command and effectiveness. Luckily for the Sox, they have all of them in one system, so it doesn't really matter if Johnson isn't perceived correctly on the outside. Given the speed at which they've sent him up the ladder, they're well aware of him.</p>

<h4>Noe Ramirez, RHP</h4>
<p>It seems like it's just about time for Noe Ramirez to get bumped into the Triple-A bullpen. He's thrown 64 innings in relief at Double-A over the past year -- he was promoted to Portland in early July of 2013 -- and has seemingly corrected the home run flaw of last summer, which saw him allow 1.3 homers per nine in 28-2/3 innings of work. It's also worth seeing what he can do at a higher level, as he's Rule 5-eligible this December, and could be plucked from the system by another club at that time. Maybe that's part of the reason the Sox aren't in a rush to send him to Triple-A, as it might just make it even more obvious he could be a useful bullpen piece.</p>
<p>There are questions about Ramirez's future even in that role, though. His command improves after a brief hiccup at each level, as he learns where he should and should not pitch the baseball, but his control is legitimate all the time: he's walked an even two batters per nine in his three-year minor-league career. It's very much a control vs. stuff question: He isn't barely scraping by thanks to this control or anything, but big-league opponents are not the same as those at the levels he's played at. He's passed the tests he's seen to this point, though, and maybe that keeps happening, but it is the big question with him.</p>

<h4>Luis Diaz, RHP</h4>
<p>Diaz took the rotation spot opened up by the 100-game suspension of right-hander Mickey Pena, and he's done well with it so far. Unsurprisingly, the strikeouts aren't all there, with Diaz picking up eight in his first 14 innings at the level, but the control that's served him well to this point came with him in the early going.</p>
<p>Diaz is likely to relieve if he's to have a major-league career, as he doesn't miss enough bats (or induce enough grounders) to be a successful starter: it wouldn't be a shock to see him strike out between five and six batters per nine during his entire stint at Portland, and there are still two rungs left on that organizational ladder. We'll see, though, as he's still just 22, even if his repertoire suggests that relief is his eventual destination. Like Ramirez, Diaz is Rule 5 eligible in December, so the Sox might end up parting ways with him one way or another this year.</p>

Portland Sea Dogs update: Owens, Marrero, Coyle

<p>There's no room for Owens in Pawtucket yet, but maybe that's not the case for Marrero.</p> <h4>Henry Owens, LHP</h4>
<p>Remember when we wanted you to exercise caution about Henry Owens? First, it was because his early start was not an indication that he was too good for Double-A batters: he was new, he was talented, and the league needed time to both see and figure out his game. Second, it was because we didn't want you to panic about his inevitable struggles: hitters adjust, after all, and Owens was dealing with the necessary growing pains of Double-A, aka the entire reason players are supposed to go through the minors to begin with. Now we're up to the third segment of Owens' season, in which we can safely say he's probably done learning what he absolutely has to with Double-A Portland, and it's time to bring this show to Pawtucket for the next lessons.</p>
<p>Over his last four starts, Owens has thrown 28-2/3 innings (or just under 7-1/3 per start), struck out 24 batters, and walked six. He allowed just one run during that entire stretch, gave up all of 15 hits, threw 67 percent strikes, and induced far more ground balls than fly balls. Opponents batted .152/.200/.182 in 105 trips to the plate, with just three of the 15 hits going for extra bases, all of them doubles. Remember when Owens was promoted to Double-A after throwing 18 innings of no-hit ball over the course of a few starts? This is a similar signal that he's finished in Maine, and it's time to hit I-95 and make his way to Rhode Island, especially when you consider he's now got a 2.06 ERA over 109 total innings at this level.</p>
<p>Except, there's no room for him there. Both Brandon Workman and Rubby De La Rosa could be rejoining the Triple-A Pawtucket rotation soon thanks to Clay Buchholz's and Felix Doubront's imminent returns to the majors. With Anthony Ranaudo, Matt Barnes, and Allen Webster already in Triple-A, there's nowhere for Owens. More on that later, because it merits its own column(s).</p>

<h4>Deven Marrero, SS</h4>
<p>Marrero scuffled for a bit and saw his line suffer for it, but he's since erased most of that damage and is now batting .279/.362/.415 thanks to an absurd June where he's hit .358/.433/.528 with six extra-base hits and seven walks against five strikeouts in 14 games. If he keeps it up, he won't be in Portland for much longer, as there is no prospect in front of him in Pawtucket at shortstop.</p>
<p>Pawtucket might be a tough assignment for him in the same way a midseason bump to Double-A a year ago was, but his bat is much further along now than it was then, and his glove has been ready for the jump for a while. The more time Marrero gets in Triple-A in 2014, the better, so expect to see a promotion sometime in the next month to get him more than just August at the level.</p>

<h4>Sean Coyle, IF</h4>
<p>Coyle is back from the early season injury that kept him out of Portland's games for almost all of May, and he is making up for lost time. In the 24 games since his return, Coyle is batting .375/.439/.636 with 15 extra-base hits -- four of them homers. His strikeouts are high, but not to a worrisome point at 22 percent, and while a whole lot of this stretch has to do with an absurd .468 batting average on balls in play, Coyle is having quality at-bats and is hitting the ball <i>hard. </i></p>
<p>The timing of Coyle's breakout is either a blessing or a curse, depending on how you want to look at things. He needs to be placed on the 40-man roster this offseason in order to protect him from the Rule 5 draft, and if he keeps tearing up the Eastern League, he's going to be claimed unless the Red Sox either trade him beforehand or stash him on the 40. If you don't believe anyone would bother claiming someone as young as Coyle who hasn't even been to Triple-A, might I remind you that the Orioles took Michael Almanzar from Boston last December, and without Almanzar having anything like the season or positional flexibility of Coyle?</p>

<p>Swihart's slumping but still got pop, while Noe and Couch both look finished with Double-A.</p> <h4>Blake Swihart, C</h4>
<p>Swihart has had a rough go of it to begin June, collecting four extra-base hits in eight games but batting just .257 without drawing a walk in that stretch. The lack of walks has been the only real complaint you can lodge against Swihart's season, really: while he's only striking out 14 percent of the time, he's drawn a free pass in just over four percent of his plate appearances. It's not necessarily something to be concerned about, given he's still showing off quality strike zone judgment and has had consistently high-quality at-bats even without the free passes. It is something to watch, though, as the season goes on and it becomes time for him to make his push to Triple-A, where he will be tested further.</p>
<p>For now, know Swihart's defense seems to be continually improving, and that the ball is flying off of his bat in a way it did not for High-A Salem. He's gone deep six times this year, three times as often as all of 2013, and has had at least one blast taken from him by the Maine Monster. The power is emerging, and he's avoided strikeouts: with time, maybe the walks will come, too.</p>

<h4>Noe Ramirez, RHP</h4>
<p>Ramirez's last 10 games have been stellar, with the reliever limiting opponents to a 0.96 ERA over 18-1/3 innings while inducing more grounders than fly balls, and 13 strikeouts against five walks. It's probably safe to say he's figured out all he can at Double-A by now, given he's thrown 61 innings in relief over 33 games there dating back to late 2013, and managed a 2.49 ERA and nearly four times as many strikeouts as walks in that stretch.</p>
<p>He's also only given up four homers total at the level, all of them last year after his initial promotion: at his best, Ramirez is missing bats, inducing grounders, avoiding walks, and keeping the ball in the park. The last of that bunch is generally what's gotten him into trouble in the times it's happened in his career, so when he stops giving up the long ball entirely, it's a signal he's likely ready for a new challenge.</p>

<h4>Keith Couch, RHP</h4>
<p>There is an outside shot that Keith Couch is a major-league starting pitcher. His control is stellar, he's always kept the ball in the park, and he induces tons of grounders that help balance his underwhelming strikeout rates. It's still an outside chance, because his stuff, while good for grounders, isn't all that impressive or imposing, and he could be exposed as soon as a promotion to Triple-A when he's expected to go through more experienced, more advanced International League lineups a few times.</p>
<p>That non-zero chance of at least some starts in the majors feels real enough, though, that you have to imagine Couch will be claimed by another team during this December's Rule 5 draft, should his success continue. It's difficult to push him any further than he is right now, after nearly 200 innings at Double-A over two years, thanks to the Pawtucket rotation, which could very well be full up when Rubby De La Rosa and Brandon Workman return from the majors in the near future. Add in that current teammates and fellow starters Brian Johnson and Henry Owens are way, way ahead of him on the prospect depth chart, and you realize it won't get any easier to make room later on in the year, either.</p>
<p>Maybe Couch will be part of a trade that keeps him from being lost in the Rule 5 shuffle. He's survived longer as a starter than Twins pitcher Ryan Pressly, whom Ben Cherington's Red Sox did not protect on the 40 two years ago, which probably means Couch is even more likely to be nabbed if he's available. This is all probably a conversation for later, anyway, but the original point, that Couch is done with the Eastern League, stands.</p>

Portland Sea Dogs update: Betts, Ramos, Johnson

<p>Betts is "slumping", Ramos is making all kinds of contact, and Johnson is rolling.</p> <h4>Mookie Betts, OF/2B</h4>
<p>Mookie Betts is slumping, y'all. He has a .212/.413/.364 line over his last 10 games. Man, I remember when he used to put up a .413 batting average. It was all so good while it lasted, but I guess it's over now.</p>
<p>Seriously, though, Mookie slumping means he has a 777 OPS, what in the hell? The average OPS in the Eastern League this year is 716. Please continue all of your love for Mookie, who is also nearly four years younger than all those players he's better than.</p>
<p>Plus, we can cut him some slack, since he's been learning a new position since the last time we checked in on him. Betts has been playing in center since his 71-game on-base streak ended, and has logged eight games and 14 putouts at the position. It's not much of a sample to go on, and I haven't had a chance to personally see him out there, but the early word seems to be encouraging thanks to his time spent chasing fly balls in batting practice and his natural athleticism and speed.</p>
<p>With a little luck, it will stop raining during a homestand long enough for me to see for myself. I'm not scout, but I've seen enough Jacoby Ellsbury first steps to know when they're going in the right or wrong direction.</p>

<h4>Henry Ramos, OF</h4>
<p>Ramos has had a killer May, hitting .372/.416/.511 on the month, despite being in the midst of a weird 10-game stretch where he is batting .297/.297/.297. That's 11 singles without a walk or extra-base hit in sight. Still, it's good to see Ramos start to make successful contact often, even if you'd also like additional patience and power attached to it. The switch-hitter has been performing against both lefties and righties, with equal power from both sides, and is striking out 20 percent of the time. That last bit isn't great, but considering he was at 19 percent in High-A, it's not bad to see similar figures post-promotion.</p>
<p>There's still a lot of work to be done here. "Equal power from both sides" still results in an Isolated Power that resembles a middle infielder's -- and not the Mookie Betts kind, either -- and walks more than six percent of the time would be a plus, too. This is possibly the start of something good, though, so for now, we wait and see if it actually becomes that something.</p>

<h4>Brian Johnson, LHP</h4>
<p>Johnson now has five starts at Double-A under his belt, and they've been great. He's struck out 22 batters in 29 innings against eight walks, has gone at least five frames every time out, and has limited the opposition to two runs or fewer in all but one of those appearances, in which he only gave up three instead. His last outing featured just two punch outs, but he walked only the one batter, and induced plenty of grounders to make up for the lack of swing-and-miss in his day.</p>
<p>If he keeps it up, he might find himself in Triple-A Pawtucket before year's end: his start to the year at High-A Salem was mostly just to confirm that he was as finished with the Carolina League as his brief stint there to end 2013 suggested he was, so it's not as if it would be an aggressive assignment. It all depends on whether or not he can continue to find success against Double-A hitters, of course, but Johnson was a polished arm out of college who wasn't in Double-A sooner only because of injuries: one a line drive to the head, the other a brief shoulder scare last summer that turned out to be nothing to worry about, if his performance since is any indication.</p>
<p>He's a back-end arm in the majors no matter how much he toys with minor-league bats, but that's a good thing, as this season has already managed to remind us now that not one but two of the Triple-A starters find themselves in the big-league rotation thanks to injury and ineffectiveness from the planned crew.</p>

<p>Owens has been doing better of late, but he's not where you can say he's finished with Double-A hitters yet. The walks are still there, and are still a problem even if he's not paying for it. I don't mean to pick on him, because believe me, there is little wrong with 28 strikeouts in 21-2/3 innings over four starts, especially in conjunction with a 2.49 ERA. He still managed to walk 15 in that stretch, though, or over six per nine innings, so he can probably skip apartment hunting in Rhode Island for now.</p>
<p>He'll likely be there before year's end, however, especially if this isn't a blip and is the start of Owens adjusting to the adjustments made by Eastern League hitters. He needs to keep the ball down and in the zone to be at his best, and while we've seen that before, there are still inconsistencies in his game that keep it from being a constant. He can be a productive pitcher if these inconsistencies never go away, but he'll be a far better starter if they do.</p>

<p>Marrero has been mashing lately, hitting .350/.409/.500 over his last 10 games and .274/.369/.466 overall in May. He's drawing walks 11 percent of the time, but hasn't looked passive or like he's trying to force a walk: Marrero has done a solid job of attacking pitches he can put good wood on, and it's resulted in what could be the start of his breakout campaign at the plate. It's a small sample, but it's also a positive that Marrero isn't just hitting well at the Sea Dogs' home field, which helps boost doubles thanks to the Maine Monster, a Green Monster-inspired wall, in left. He's also been doing solid work against right-handed pitchers -- considering Marrero's struggles at the plate in 2013, that's another step in the right direction.</p>
<p>Defensively, he's as solid as ever. He's not a flashy shortstop, but he can range and has an arm when he has to:</p>
<p><a href="http://cdn0.vox-cdn.com/assets/4495645/Marrero-range.gif" target="_blank"><img alt="Marrero-range" class="photo" src="http://cdn0.vox-cdn.com/assets/4495645/Marrero-range.gif"></a> <br id="1400787010438"></p>
<p>Whether he'll turn into something that makes displacing Xander Bogaerts from shortstop a necessity remains to be seen, but hey, it could happen.</p>

<p>Coyle is still on the disabled list -- where he's been since April 28 -- with an undisclosed injury according to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.soxprospects.com/injuries/">Sox Prospects' injury report</a>. It's a shame, too, much as it was last year when he missed time on the DL, as Coyle has been producing in his limited time on the field. He was performing just as well, if not better, than he did for High-A Salem in last summer's 48 games, this time with some extra batting average tossed in.</p>
<p>Coyle has spent most of his time at third base for the Sea Dogs, with a few games sprinkled in at second and designated hitter. One wonders if, with Mookie Betts moving to the outfield at least part of the time in order to acclimate him to that role, if Coyle will be allowed to return to the position he's most familiar with once he returns from whatever has caused him to miss almost an entire month of development.</p>

<p>Blake Swihart isn't walking all that much, but he's also showing off the power that was hoped would eventually develop from his line drive swing. He's got three homers, which might not seem like all that much, but he hit two all of last season with High-A Salem. The ball has just been flying off of his bat with authority, and there have been a couple of balls already this season that might have been homers in another park but were limited to doubles by the Maine Monster in left. (It's good practice for dealing with those moments, I guess.) Despite this, Swihart's .186 Isolated Power would easily be a career-high, as he has 13 extra-base hits in his 28 games, and he's only striking out 12 percent of the time on the year. There remains work to be done, but he's taking steps forward even as the walking subsides.</p>
<p>He doesn't need to constantly walk to be a high-quality backstop, either: between his defense and his power, and what seems to be an ability to make quality, strong contact consistently, Swihart is going to produce more than enough to offset what could result in an on-base percentage that doesn't swoon those who see it. It's also pretty early into his Double-A career, so maybe guessing what his walk rate will look like in the majors in 2016 based on fewer than 30 Sea Dogs games isn't the right idea.</p>

<p>Ramirez seems to have settled in comfortably in relief. He's now over 49 innings total across his two stints with Portland, and has struck out just over a batter per inning while issuing just 14 walks in that time. In addition, whereas homers were a problem post-promotion for him in 2013, he's yet to give up a long ball in his 21 frames from this campaign. That could all change, of course, but as it stands, it looks like Ramirez has adjusted to Eastern League hitters in much the way he needed to learn where his pitches should and should not go while with Salem.</p>
<p>His potential future in the majors remains in relief, even though he doesn't always crack 90 miles per hour with his fastball. When he keeps it down, he's in good shape, especially with his ability to generate ground balls. While he won't get as many innings as he would have had his tenure as a starter survived longer, he still gets multi-inning outings to keep his workload up. He could find himself in Pawtucket's bullpen at some point this summer, just in time for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.overthemonster.com/">Red Sox</a> to make a decision about whether he'll be left out in the Rule 5 cold or dealt to avoid making that decision.</p>

<p>Shaw is another player in need of 40-man protection or a plane ticket at some point in 2014, but if he keeps on mashing like he has lately, then he won't be going anywhere except Pawtucket. I've taken serious issue with <span>Travis Shaw's</span> approach in the past, as he's been, more often than not, more passive than patient, with a two-strike approach that mostly involved watching the pitch go by in the hopes a walk was in his future. Too often, it was a strikeout looking instead, and his tendency to let pitches go by also resulted in too many plate appearances where he wasn't running things, and was instead at the mercy of his opposition. This led to weak contact, which led to lines with plenty of walks and power but no batting average to back them up.</p>
<p>That's what makes his recent surge so fascinating. He's still drawing walks, but he's cut down on the strikeouts significantly: Shaw punched out 22 percent of the time in 2013 in his second try at Portland, and this year so far is at nine percent, with 14 in 152 plate appearances. He's looked more aggressive at the plate this month, willing to swing (and drive) pitches that make their way into the strike zone, rather than trying to squeeze every plate appearance for every pitch it's worth -- his BABIP is about 30 points higher at the moment because of it, and his ISO has climbed as well. There's a balance between discipline and passiveness, and Shaw seems to have finally begun to lean towards the former.</p>
<p>Whether he keeps it up is something we won't know until we see how pitchers adjust to the new Shaw. For the first time since 2012 at High-A Salem, though, it's okay to be optimistic about Shaw's chances. Just don't get too carried away, because Pawtucket and the majors still loom large, and Shaw still hasn't faced much of the velocity that could doom him yet.</p>

<p>We've done an awful lot of talking about Mookie Betts lately, and with good reason. Rather than rehash it all here, I suggest you check out two recent looks at him: the first is on <a href="http://www.overthemonster.com/2014/5/5/5683820/mookie-betts-meteoric-rise-began-a-year-ago-today" target="_blank">his last calendar year in the minors</a> and a major turnaround we (sort of*) saw coming, and the second is on Baseball Prospectus' <a href="http://www.overthemonster.com/2014/5/1/5671320/jason-parks-mookie-betts-red-sox-prospect" target="_blank">Jason Parks changing his mind on Betts</a>. I'm biased obviously, but they're worth your time.</p>
<p>As for his on-base streak, Betts is batting .410/.475/.618 during what is now a 64-game stretch, dating back to early August of 2013 and including his five postseason games with the Salem <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.overthemonster.com/">Red Sox</a>. The record is 71, held by both <span>Kevin Millar</span> and <span>Kevin Youkilis</span> -- that's the overall minor-league record, it just happens to be held by two former Sox, both of whom also happened to play for Portland at different times in their careers.</p>
<p>*<i>Listen, no one thought he was going to do what he's doing to this extent. No one. There's no shame in admitting that, so I'll take "sort of" and be satisfied with that.</i></p>

<p>Ramos has been on a tear lately, batting .405/.436/.703 with a pair of homers and six extra-base hits in his last 10 games. He's also managed to cut back on his strikeouts a hair during this stretch, and while it's a 10-game sample we can't exactly point to as evidence of a turnaround there, we can sure hope it is. Ramos has talent at the plate, but the plate discipline and quality approach just aren't there for him yet. He has excellent at-bats on occasion, but not consistently, as you can likely glean from his total of six walks in 120 plate appearances against his 27 whiffs. He should also probably just give up on trying to steal bases, as he wasn't very good at it against lesser competition, and he's now been caught 37 times against 50 successes in his career as a whole.</p>
<p>He needs a sustained run through the league and for his power to not just be a thing that shows up on occasion to repair a singles-heavy line before we can believe in him too much, but he's certainly capable. Capable isn't always enough, though, so for now, we watch and wait.</p>

<p>Johnson was recently promoted from High-A, and the 23-year-old lefty did well enough in his first exposure to the Eastern League by throwing 5-1/3 scoreless without allowing a walk. If not for injuries in 2013, he likely would have already been in Portland, but he's here now with just a handful of 2014's starts behind him so it barely matters so long as he stays healthy going forward.</p>
<p>It was clear he needed the jump in level, too, as he was dominating High-A hitters, striking out over 10 per nine without allowing a homer over seven starts. There's no need for that kind of rush through Double-A, as the competition finally gets to a point where steamrolling isn't something that just happens easily, but it made sense to bump a college product like Johnson out of High-A the moment it seemed like he was wasting his time there. Whether he can keep setting down hitters with regularity post-promotion remains to be seen, but he was always expected to move quickly through the system thanks to a polished repertoire and his background in highly competitive amateur environments.</p>
<p>It's unclear who Johnson is replacing in the rotation, as <span>Mike McCarthy</span> is the only non-prospect and all of Mike Augliera, <span>Keith Couch</span>, and Mickey Pena are considered future relievers: Johnson joins <span>Henry Owens</span> as the only other starting pitching prospect on the roster. The 26-year-old McCarthy is a good bet to be bumped, unless Boston thinks they've seen enough of Augliera as a starter and are ready to transition him full-time to the pen starting now.</p>

<p>I saw <span>Henry Owens</span> in his most recent start, the third of three in a row in which he's struggled a bit with his control and keeping runs off the board. He was squeezed a bit by the home plate umpire, especially in the first inning, but he wasn't doing himself any favors, either. Owens missed the zone repeatedly, and when he did throw strikes, they were struck hard by the opposition, resulting in six runs over five innings.</p>
<p>His ERA is now 3.77, with his overall Double-A ERA now 2.75: if you were wondering why Owens even needed to be in Double-A after his first few dominating starts, the last handful are your reminder. Owens is talented, and has the capacity to mow down his opponents, but he's also a 21-year-old lefty who the league has not seen very much of. Beating the opposition once doesn't prove anything besides that he's capable of doing that. Facing them a couple more times will give them a chance to adjust to him, he a chance to adjust back, and so on. That's the game from this level onward, when the quality of competition has separated itself from the rawness of A-ball, and something more akin to big-league competition begins to rear its head in the batter's box.</p>
<p>How well Owens responds, and how consistently he can be the high-quality version of himself rather than the shaky, inefficient one, will determine whether he's a mid-rotation arm or capable of something more, as his ceiling suggests he is. You shouldn't panic about Owens, not by any means, but you should remember that he's in Double-A for a reason besides just the stacked nature of the Triple-A rotation.</p>

<p>Marrero still isn't hitting for any power, but we shouldn't expect him to: he's a glove-first shortstop who can steal a base and draw a walk, and hopefully hit enough singles to make that good enough. The fact he's hitting .303/.379/.409 while striking out just 19 percent of the time is a positive, considering he was brought to Double-A well before his bat was ready, thanks to that aforementioned glove. It's only been a month, but he's getting on base, making contact at a reasonable rate, and piling on the singles. That's exactly what you want out of your steady hand at short, at least in a realistic world where you remember they can't all be Xander.</p>

</div>
<p>His approach at the plate has looked purposeful, and that might be the most important thing. Marrero and former <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.overthemonster.com/">Red Sox</a> shortstop <span>Jose Iglesias</span> are not a good comp for a lot of reasons, but they were both aggressively pushed through the system thanks to their defense. It took Iglesias until 2013, when he was finally in the majors, to come up with a workable plan at the plate. Marrero might have figured out when to wait out a pitcher for something he can pop into the outfield or through a hole already. More time will tell us if that's true, but from the looks of things, he's onto something.</p>

<p>Coyle is dealing with some best-case scenario action right now, as the third baseman/designated hitter for the Sea Dogs is hitting for both average and power. Some of that, at least on the average side, might be due to small samples, as Coyle is still punching out 25 percent of the time: if a few balls in play here and there stop dropping for hits, his line looks significantly different. Still, though, five extra-base hits in 18 games for a guy who is bouncing around the diamond thanks to the presence of <span>Mookie Betts</span> is good, especially in conjunction with eight percent walks and his successful six-for-six on stolen base attempts.</p>
<p>He teased a breakout last year, so even if this isn't the final shape of his 2014, we shouldn't be surprised by success. He's got a lot of pop in that bat, and if he can just cut down on the strikeouts, there would be a whole lot to like here.</p>
