If you’re a Boston Red Sox fan, you’ve got to check out what No. 2 prospect Franklin Arias is doing down in Double-A Portland right now.<\/p>\n

The young infielder is two steps away from the big leagues and certainly is making his case right now to help this club at some point. In eight games<\/a>, Arias is slashing .542\/.613\/.875 with two homers, eight RBIs, four walks, two doubles and seven runs scored. It’s a bit early in the season to be talking about promotions, but that’s how good Arias is playing right now.<\/p>\n

Right now, he’s ranked as Major League Baseball’s No. 26 overall prospect<\/a>. If he can keep up this level of play, he’s going to jump up that list quickly and should be in Triple-A in the not-so-distant future. He belted his first homer of the season on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Then, it took him just one day to follow up and blast another.<\/p>\n

Boston’s offense hasn’t been great overall this season. If he can stay hot over the next few months, he’s going to give the front office something to think about.<\/p>\n
