Team to watch
The Red Sox feel very good about their 2016 Draft, and their first six picks will open their first full pro seasons at Class A Greenville. MLBPipeline's top-rated prospect in last year's Draft, left-hander Jay Groome (first round), signed for $3.65 million thanks to his nifty fastball/curveball combination. Third baseman Bobby Dalbec (fourth) starred as a pitcher at the College World Series, then posted a 1.101 OPS in his pro debut. Right-handers Shaun Anderson (third), Michael Shawaryn (fifth) and Stephen Nogosek (sixth) will bolster the Drive pitching staff, while C.J. Chatham (second) will take over at shortstop once he comes off the disabled list.

New faces
Boston targeted second baseman Josh Tobias' on-base ability when it traded Clay Buchholz to the Phillies in December.
On the shelf
After Chatham strained his hamstring on Saturday, the Red Sox hope he'll be able to return later this month.
