S2S 2012 Team Prospect Lists: Boston Red Sox

Boston Red Sox

The Red Sox only had two prospects make my top 100, but the team nevertheless boasts a very good minor league system, with probably a dozen or so players in the 101-300 range. The most striking thing about the Red Sox’s system is its balance–there’s someone notable at pretty much every position except first base (and first tends to be the biggest black hole in a lot of organizations). There’s a nice mix of proven upper-minors players that look to be complementary parts and higher-upside, lower-floor guys in the low minors. It’s certainly not the best system in baseball, but it’s made some strides in recent years and is on very firm ground.
