Franklin Arias Promoted to Double-A Portland
Franklin Arias was promoted to Double-A Portland on Tuesday. Boston's top-ranked prospect (MLB No. 23) produced solid numbers between Single-A and High-A, slashing .279/.343/.383 in 106 games, and although he drew walks at just a 7.9 percent rate, he struck out at a minuscule 9.8 percent rate. The Venezuelan is now one of the youngest players at Double-A, joining just a handful of other 19-year-olds at that level, with his age making the youngster's other accomplishments all the more impressive. The right-handed slugger even doubled in his Double-A Portland debut, and should be stashed away in dynasty leagues.
