Wednesday marked the club’s “Rookie Development Program,” an annual weeklong event in which the Sox host some of their finest prospects and prepare them for what it's like to be a major leaguer living in Boston. They show them the locker room, introduce them to the big league staff and give them pointers on how to talk to reporters.
It’s basically a crash course, one that current big leaguers have since praised for helping them ease more smoothly into the majors.
