The Boston Red Sox have the No. 1 prospect in baseball tearing it up in the minors in outfielder Roman Anthony. His time certainly is coming and he's done nothing short of force the issue this season.

He recently went through one with Triple-A Worcester — at least by his lofty standards. On April 25, he slammed a foul ball off his right foot that forced him to miss a couple of games. When he returned, Anthony endured a rut of 12 straight contests in which his offensive production was limited to singles and walks.

What more does he need to do to push the Red Sox to make a call-up decision? Alex Cora was asked that question Wednesday.
