Elias to Boston. Aaron Wilkerson starts for Pawsox.

Ockimey with his 5th homer tonight. Only 20 years old.

Cuz or other experts--can you tell me what type of prospect his is, because I don't remember any buzz about him.

He is never going to be "the prospect." He's position limited (he's a 1st Base/DH type), his defense early on this year is sketchy (4 errors already), but he was a 5th Round Draft pick from High School... so if he continues to hit like he has this season, he'll become more well known.

BA said this about them on their weekly prospect list:

The Scoop: A power-hitting prep first baseman from Philadelphia, Ockimey earned comparison with Phillies slugger Ryan Howard. So far, Ockimey has shown many of Howard’s traits, including big power, lots of strikeouts and defensive limitations. But Ockimey, a 2014 fifth-rounder, was a standout in instructional league last year, and is off to a fast start in 2016 in his first crack at full-season ball. He’s trimmed back the strikeouts (14 in 63 plate appearances) and is walking more—including eight this week—and still showing big power, with four homers in just 51 at-bats. (VLC)
