    Gotta think they're going to try their hardest to keep him at SS for as long as possible. I remember people were saying both HanRam and A-Rod was going to outgrow SS as well.

    If we can get Bogaerts to stick at SS with WMB at 3B, Pedroia at 2B, and Gonzo at 1B, that could be a ridiculous IF.

    Agreed, and that's what I've been hoping for. I've just seen so many scouts say he can't stay in SS. I'd much rather him stay there since our OF is getting stacked. He still has to fill out a lot.

    Bogaerts just hit another absolute mammoth bomb right now. Salem leads 3-0.

    Damn cannot wait to see him here. He is possibly a top 20 prospect right now.

    He made 26 errors in 71 games last year.

    Hes made 15 errors in 70 games thus far this year.

    Maybe he'll be better than WMB and we can make yet another trade.

    Sally League destroys power, too. So his numbers are just eye popping.

    HanRam as a 19 year old in SALLY League: .275/.327/.403, 8 HR, 111 Games.

    Josh Hamilton as a 19 year old in SALLY League: .302/.348/.476, 13 HR, 96 Games

    Xander Bogaerts as a 19 year old in SALLY League: .295/.375/.500, 11 HR, 70 Games.

    EDIT: Shit - Sorry guys. Hamilton and HanRam didn't play in the Carolina league. I got the SALLY and Carolina league confused. My bad. Disregard.

    For what it's worth, though, HanRam didn't make it to A+ ball before he was 20. When he did, he was 20, and had a .793 OPS.

    If he doesn't stick at 3B, they'll stick in him a corner OF.

    That some pretty good company. I don't think it all that hard to believe he'd move to OF though. Good athleticism, range, size.. Bj Upton-like?

    More like Justin Upton-like IMO.

    But I think HanRam is a very good comp for this guy.

    Re: Xander Bogaerts

    Gotta wonder - if Bogaerts continues to OPS over .850 and hits 12-15 HR by late July, do you promote him to Portland?

    If he has 15+ HR than I say yes. I think they want him in Salem for a full season though.
