BOSTON -- Red Sox prospect Brandon Moss did not make the postseason roster, but he's been asked to stick around in order to experience what a playoff series is like in Boston.
Originally it was first thought he would be heading home, but he will remain with the club as long as it is still playing. The Red Sox have done this with other prospects in the past, including Kevin Youkilis in 2004, and it helps a great deal with their development.
''It’s going to help a ton,” said Moss. ''Just being around and being here for it to see what it’s like is an experience. To see how these guys handle will be a great experience.”
Because it is the postseason, and the clubhouse confines are tight, sometimes it can be difficult to bee seen and not heard. Moss, however, isn't worried.
''It’s not very difficult,” he said. “They understand why I’m here as an extra guy, but I’m also trying to be part of the team and achieve the same goal they are, but I’ll stay out of their way so they can achieve it.”
In the meantime, Moss will continue to work in the outfield and at first base.
