Xander Bogaerts said recently that he feels "the strongest I've felt going into a season."
"And by far," the shortstop added. Instead of going to his native Aruba this offseason per his usual routine, Bogaerts trained with other big leaguers at EXOS Performance Institute in Arizona. "It’s a long season, and halfway or toward the end I just felt like my body was giving up," Bogaerts said. "I definitely feel a lot more strong. Getting knowledge from those (trainers at EXOS) and just trusting the whole system they have there, just pushing your body, it’s really a difference than any years in the past." Bogaerts has post-hype sleeper written all over him headed into 2015. Feb 8 - 9:45 AM

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts is still considered Boston's shortstop, according to two team sources who spoke with The Boston Globe's Pete Abraham.

In other words, as expected, Hanley Ramirez is ticketed for a position change. Most have speculated, in light of Pablo Sandoval's concurrent signing, that Ramirez will be Boston's left fielder next season. At this time, that scenario seems most likely. The only thing that will keep Ramirez at shortstop in 2015, it would appear, is a trade of Bogaerts. If the Red Sox are serious about trading for an ace, Bogaerts would be a logical target of their transaction partner.

Xander Bogaerts - SS - Red Sox

Xander Bogaerts went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in a loss to the Orioles on Tuesday.

Bogaerts hit the solo shot, his 10th of the season, off Orioles starter Chris Tillman in the fourth inning. It was the Red Sox' lone run of the game. He almost scored the team's second run as well, but he was thrown out at the plate in the ninth inning. A deep slump has Bogaerts' overall line down, but he's hitting .371 (13-for-35) with two home runs and six RBI in September as he looks to end the season on a high note.
