With the Sox having the top ranked farm system according to mlbpipeline.com, Jimenez shows just how much depth this team has in the minor leagues. Jimenez is hitting .296 on the season, and he’s riding a modest four game hitting streak with the Dash. The young outfielder could start next season with Double-A Birmingham, but for now his development must continue with Winston-Salem.
