4 years agoBoston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts had a big night at the plate Thursday, going 3-for-3 with a homer, a walk, and three RBI. The two-run home run, which came off of A's starter Sean Manaea in the bottom of the first inning, was Bogaerts' eighth of the year and put the Red Sox up 3-0. Bogaerts now has a 1.009 OPS for the season, and is staking a claim to be the best offensive shortstop in the game. He's a fantasy stud, and he's already making a case to be a first-round pick in next year's drafts.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
