*The Red Sox seem intent on taking their time when it comes to promoting Roman Anthony to the big leagues — which is how it should be. It’s escaped notice, but Anthony is actually the youngest player in the International League and won’t turn 21 until the middle of next month.

Anthony, who is managing minor shoulder soreness, has hit four homers and seven extra-base hits in 16 games at Worcester.

Top Red Sox prospect Roman Anthony is swinging a red-hot bat for Triple-A Worcester. But it doesn't sound like he'll be playing for the Red Sox in Boston anytime soon.
