Indeed it is. Assuming you don’t root for the Astros, the Beanbags, the Indians or the Feesh.

The kids are alright. And by that I mean, when was the last time there were this many insanely talented insanely young players in the majors? Profar, Trout, Harper, Machado lead up the really young kids, and then there’s just a pile of really good players who aren’t even 24. Matt Moore, Brett Lawrie. And then Giancarlo Stanton, Jason Heyward, even Madison Bumgarner, a guy who seems like he’s been around forever, is only 23 and they’re all established stars. It’s a really fun time to be a baseball fan.

Superlatives seem so cliche.

Now, Ben Cherington . . . how about a look-see at Xander Bogaerts to keep me interested through the end of September?

Some grin, eh? I’m surprised that his face held together.

Promising start, but time will tell if he has what it takes to be a great one. Talent alone isn’t enough.

Of greater importance will be if the Rangers can snap a streak lasting four decades. They’re one of eight, count ‘em eight clubs in MLB who have never won it all.

He is a top prospect
