Red Sox Minor Leaguers Ready for Call-Up

0:00On March 24th, the Boston Red Sox are heading to Cincinnati with their 26-man roster locked in, but plenty of eyes are on the triple A. Worcester team opening Friday, a few players sent down there have strong cases for quick promotions, especially after solid performances last season. These guys could feel key spots in the outfield infield or bullpen as needs pop up early on. Take Nate Eaton, who signed a minor league deal last year and impressed everyone by homing off to reek school ball in the World Baseball Classic. He raked against lefties in September 2, and with the Red Sox carrying five outfielders right now, he's just waiting for an opening at third base or in the corners. Zach Kelly brings electric stuff to the bullpen when he's dialed in, and he wrapped up last year on a high note. He might have made the big club, if not for the need to carry an extra starter during ramp-ups for guys like Ranger Suarez and Brand Bello. Tommy calmly looks like the first to get the call, since he nearly cracked the opening day squad, but signed a bit late.

1:01The Red Sox have long admired him and are just giving him a short tune up in Worcester to give back to Major League action. Others like Nick Sogart, Christian Campbell, and pictures such as Tyler Seminiego, Kyle Keller, and Tyron Guerrero could join the mix soon too. Keeping the Red Sox depth chart buzzing all spring.
