Which of the Basabe's is the better prospect again?

 

[Eddie Jurak]

Alexander. Although the folks at sox prospects gave some props to Alejandro recently - saying that he's not a Jair Bogaerts, and that some of his slower progress is injury related.

Still, X is the better one, but don't necessarily sleep on J.

What I want to know is whether, if they are identical Twins, one of them has ever tried to hit for the other.
