It’s time.

時候到啦。

On Wednesday, Xander Bogaerts drove in the only two Portland runs of the
double header while collecting two of Portland’s eight total hits. Bogaerts
went 2-for-6 with a walk. The remarkable 20-year-old now is hitting .311
(10th in the Eastern League) with a .407 OBP (6th) and .502 slugging mark
(10th). He is performing at a dominant level in Double-A, despite his status
as the youngest position player in the league.

20歲的Bogaerts本季.311/.407/.502(在東方聯盟分別是第十、第六、第十)，雖然是東方
聯盟中最年輕的野手，卻已經打出可怕的成績。

With Jose Iglesias remaining on the big league roster, there’s a vacancy at
shortstop in Pawtucket, and so the Sox — after having front-office
deliberations this week about whether or not to promote the top prospect in
their system — will indeed unveil him in Triple-A tonight (weather
permitting), according to multiple Red Sox sources.

鷹俠留在大聯盟，所以空出了游擊大位。球團在審議過後決定拉Bogaerts上3A。

And with good reason. Bogaerts is the first Eastern League player at age 20
or younger to have a slash line of .300/.400/.500 since 1999, when Nick
Johnson hit .345/.525/.548 as a 20-year-old. Joe Mauer did not match Bogaerts
’ rate stats; nor did Anthony Rizzo or Grady Sizemore or Jose Reyes when
they performed in the Eastern League.

Bogaerts是自1999年Nick Johnson打出.345/.525/.548之後首位在東方聯盟打出三四五的
20歲球員─Joe Mauer、Anthony Rizzo、Grady Sizemore和Jose Reyes都沒達成。

Bogaerts had shown everything he had to demonstrate at the level. It is time,
once again, for the precocious 20-year-old to be challenged, this time one
stop short of the big leagues.

Bogaerts展現了所有他該在2A中拿出的能力，所以這位早熟的20歲球員將再度面臨新的挑
戰─這次距離大聯盟只有一步之遙了。
