A write up on Sam Travis from the AFL:

There are writeups of the other guys in the AFL there as well.
Sam Travis, 1B, Red Sox (Double-A)
Ht/Wt: 6’0″/195 | B/T: R/R | Age (as of 12/1/15): 22y, 3m
After being selected by Boston in the second round of the 2014 draft, Travis gave a quality performance across two levels in his first full professional season, slashing a combined .307/.381/.452 between High A Salem and Double-A Portland. The former Indiana Hoosier maintained that high level of production through his 23 AFL games, slashing .344/.394/.505 and impressing evaluators by routinely driving the ball from line-to-line and showing flashes of pull-side power. Travis is a little undersized and lacks the traditional plus raw power expected of a top first base prospect. Still, his feel for hitting stands out. It isn’t difficult to picture him peppering the Green Monster with line drives and racking-up enough extra bases to qualify as at least an average power producer. With David Ortiz announcing his retirement after the 2016 campaign, Travis is well positioned to enjoy another year of development between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Pawtucket with an eye towards competing for a 1B/DH spot with the Sox in 2017.
