If you haven’t heard of Bobby Dalbec, the first game of the spring exhibition schedule provided an emphatic reason to start paying attention to one of the top prospects in the Boston Red Sox farm system.
The Red Sox opened the spring schedule by hosting Northeastern University at JetBlue Park on Friday. The lineup was constructed mostly of players who probably won’t make the Opening Day roster, with Christian Vazquez and Blake Swihart being the rare exceptions. Spring training gives us the perfect opportunity to familiarize ourselves with prospects we seldom get to see, including Dalbec.
