DHL Dan CCXLII - The Fab Four? Really?

It's been a while since Shank dropped a Beatles comparison on us. Let's see how that's going to work out:

‘Boston’s Baseball Beatles’ are sure to be the talk of spring training for the next month, and other thoughts

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Picked-up pieces after nine days at Fenway South . . .

▪ Roman Anthony, Kristian Campbell, Marcelo Mayer . . . John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison.

Hot-shot prospects Anthony, Campbell, and Mayer are Boston’s Baseball Beatles. They are the The Fab Three (prospect catcher Kyle Teel, the Ringo drummer of this Sox crop, was traded for Garrett Crochet).

All approximately 6 feet 3 inches, all drafted by Chaim Bloom, Anthony, Campbell, and Mayer dress side-by-side-by-side in the Red Sox clubhouse at JetBlue Park. They were together in Portland and Worcester last summer, and here in Fort Myers they walk together to the batting cages almost every day. After workouts and spring games, they go to the beach, watch movies, and eat dinner with one another.

Labeling these guys “highly touted” is an understatement. Anthony, Campbell, and Mayer are three of the top 25 prospects in all of baseball.
