7 years agoBoston Red Sox first base prospect Sam Travis was optioned down to Triple-A Pawtucket today, according to Sean McAdam of Boston Sports Journal. The Red Sox currently have two veterans who will be splitting time at first base. Travis has always had issues demonstrating power in the minors, as je has never hit more than nine home runs in a single season. Ironically enough, he led the team with six home runs and 17 RBI this spring. According to Christopher Smith of MassLive.com, the Red Sox also intend for Travis to get time in left field while at Triple-A.--Ellis Canady - RotoBaller
