Roman Anthony had the chance to watch his teammate reach a major milestone on Saturday. Boston Red Sox third baseman Marcelo Mayer, the No. 8 overall prospect according to MLB.com, blasted his first home run in the majors against the New York Yankees on Friday.

Marcelo Mayer believes Red Sox prospect Roman Anthony is ready for the big leagues, praising his game and maturity.

I think his transition is going to be pretty smooth to the big leagues whenever that may be. I know he’s gonna be ready."While Mayer’s statement that Anthony is “ready” sounds obvious, it clearly bears repeating because CBO Craig Breslow still hasn’t made the inevitable move.
