Short Stop Rafael Espinosa has opened eyes this fall at Red Sox Baseball academy in the Dominican. Espinosa who the Sox gave him a $250,000 bonus to sign as a 16 yrs in July has been compare to a young Alfredo Griffin. Espinosa who's 5-10 160 and like fellow Dominican Short stop Oscar Tejeda is a top prospect, but unlike Tejeda his game is speed and quickness, with plus plus quick hands. There's a chance that Espinosa may skip the DSL and stat his profesional carreer in the GCL in 2008.
