Red Sox Minor League Player of the Week (June 19-25); Red Sox Note
TheBostonInsider's Red Sox Minor League Player of the Week for June 19-25 is Jeremy West, firstbaseman for the Class-AA Portland Sea Dogs.
West is batting .304 with 7 HR and 34 RBI. His on-base percentage is .382 and his slugging percentage is .479, good for an OPS of .861.
West may never truly fit into the long term plans in Boston but his consistent minor league production is bound to attract the eye of some talent evaluator somewhere. Don't be surprised if West is flipped to a new team this July, possibly for a pitcher.
As for the Red Sox, they will make up Sunday's rain-out with the Phillies on Monday afternoon at 1:05. Sunday's starters -- Tim Wakefield for the Sox and Cory Lidle for the Phillies -- will be on the mound for the rare Monday matinee at Fenway. The Sox are shooting for their ninth straight victory -- with the previous eight all coming courtesy of the NL East.
