Another good game for Margot today.  Could we be any more stacked in talented young CFers with him, Mookie, JBJ and Castillo?

GCL WINS


The first games of the 2014 Gulf Coast League season came on June 20, but for most involved, the process began long before that.

There's Spring Training in February. There's extended spring training starting for everyone who doesn't get assigned to a Class A team or higher. There's the Draft in June that expands the pool of players likely headed to the GCL. The rosters are set in the middle of June, players start to jell for the first time as teammates and finally, the games get going.

And for each club involved, this all happens in the same complex in the same city in the same simmering Florida spring and summer heat.

Basically, GCL Red Sox manager Tom Kotchman admitted he could use something cold Monday, the final day of the Rookie-level circuit's season. His players were happy to oblige.

Behind homers from shortstop Javier Guerra and Michael Chavis and a strong start by Jake Cosart, the Red Sox took home the Gulf Coast League title with an 8-1 victory over the Yankees 1 squad in a decisive Game 3 on Monday at the Yankee Complex in Tampa.

"When you've had a long summer, and especially in this heat, it's fun to get a nice ice bath," said Kotchman, shortly after being doused by his players.

In many ways, the Sox, who were the youngest team in the GCL this season, relied on the same factors in the playoffs that helped them capture the GCL South Division title with a 36-24 record during the regular season.

First, there was the pitching. The Red Sox staff collectively led the 16-team circuit with a 2.83 ERA during the season and turned to 2014 third-round pick Jake Cosart, brother of Marlins hurler Jarred, to make the start Monday. He didn't disappoint, setting a career high with five strikeouts while allowing just one hit over three frames.
