You may notice that this week’s Boston Red Sox<\/a> stock list is a bit minor-league-centric. It’s not to say that the main roster doesn’t have any standouts. We know about the usuals (J.D. Martinez, Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers), but there are some performances (good and bad) throughout the organization that could make big impacts down the line.<\/p>\n

Young Red Sox on the Rise<\/h2>\n

Jarren Duran (AAA Worcester)<\/strong>– This is not his first time on this list. No one within the organization has made as much noise as Duran in the last couple of weeks. The hype is mostly due to his play. This week he hit in four of five games. His power was on full display on May 11 when he launched two into the seats against Syracuse. He again went yard two days later, bringing his season total to four in only 11 games. His slash line up to May 15 is .279\/.380\/.605. That looks like someone who’s ready for the big leagues.<\/p>\n

The other part of the hype is coming from the fact that the big-league Red Sox are having problems with production from the left-field position. With Franchy Cordero continuing to struggle, J.D. Martinez has started to see more time in the field. Although Martinez has made some nice plays so far, it’s not ideal for the club to have him out there on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

Fans are already clamoring for Durran to make his way up to Boston. So what’s the hold-up?\u00a0 Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom wants to see a larger sample size from Duran. Bloom told The Athletic<\/a> he wants to see him “go through the ups and downs of the season and playing every day.” So curb your enthusiasm Red Sox fans. Durran still has a little bit of seasoning to undergo. Put that on top of the fact that he is still learning how to play the outfield. While he may not be ready quite yet, there may be another member of the WoSox that could be a little closer.<\/p>\n
