Roman Anthony's meteoric rise to stardom has the Boston Red Sox and their fans loving everything about their future face of the franchise. That's why, with Boston in yet another AL East dog fight, chasing the Toronto Blue Jays and falling behind the nemesis New York Yankees, keeping their eyes on the prize has become all the more important in the September stretch run.
Going at it without Anthony, who will miss 4-6 weeks after going on the IL with an oblique injury, will be tough sledding. But if Boston wants to get to the top of the mountain in October, they need to use the remaining three weeks to put themselves in the best position to make a run.
