Bobby Dalbec is perhaps the most intriguing prospect in the Red Sox farm system. He hits home runs. He plays first base. And he is just one step away from the big leagues. Dalbec joined Rob Bradford to discuss his existence, which has included his occasional hitting lessons from J.D. Martinez, remembering a memorable conversation he had with former Red Sox slugger David Ortiz and how delicious it is to hit these Triple-A baseballs compared to the very dead pieces of equipment used in Double-A. Dalbec also passes along a shout out to another member of the Podcomination Station, The Lucy and Elaine Show. It's worth a listen! See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.
