Fall Instrux roster
The Boston Red Sox have announced that the following players will be taking part in the Fall Instructional League (FIL). The Fall Instructional League is typically for short-season, rookie-level, and recently drafted players to refine their skills under the close instruction of minor league coaches and coordinators, similar to the Gulf Coast League. The FIL takes place in Florida every year from mid-September to late October. Boston plays its FIL games in Ft. Myers. Although not always the case, an invitation to the FIL usually indicates that the team is willing to invest time and money in the given player for the foreseeable future. On days off, players take part in fundamentals drills and workouts. Typically, a significant portion of the whole Red Sox management attends each year to examine the next crop of prospects.
