7 years agoBoston Red Sox first base prospect Sam Travis has started to pick things up with his bat for Triple-A Pawtucket. Travis has hit safely in five of his last six games, which includes three multi-hit games. Travis got some run in the big leagues last year and hit a respectable .263 in 76 at-bats, with no home runs and only one RBI. Travis has a career .295 batting average in the minor leagues and is known more for his contact than power. Unfortunately for Travis, the Red Sox have Hanley Ramirez and Mitch Moreland at first base and Travis would likely need an injury to get another call-up. Even when he is called up, owners shouldn’t rush to pick him, but he is worth monitoring due to his strong contact skills.--Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller
