Fascinating article.

Here's an article about his twin brother, if your curiosity was piqued like mine was.

Really interesting read! Thank you so much for sharing.

This quote gets me too excited for the future!

"I have no idea how good I was, how good I am," Bogaerts said. "I think that's what helped me along the way. I really don't know how good I am until I prove it in the majors and my numbers show it. I really can't imagine how good I can become. Coaches see stuff because they've been around players. They know what talent is. Scouts can predict. But I don't know how to do that."

I think that quote also highlights why he is as good and comfortable as he is. He doesn't seem to have the ego that most other players with his talent have. He's humble without it coming across like he's really a dick trying to act humble. He reminds me a bit of Pedey, just excited to play baseball.

Great post - it's the type of story that makes me love being a Sox fan. I hope Xander gets a consistent, full season under his belt and who knows where the ceiling is after that

I really hope that hype over Xander pays off for the Sox. My son has his name.

That was awesome! I always get so excited about prospects like the X-man, but also suspicious. Prospects rarely work out (and even more rarely stay with the team). But I am definitely rooting for the guy. He is one of my must-see at bats.
