Waiting for Godot: The Official 2013 Prospect thread

Frazier looks like a 20/20 guy to me, and Bryant could be a monster hitting 1b. Stewart doesnt excite me as much as other arms right now though.

[bruins>habs]

i wish baseball players got to the pros faster, i'm starting to like either Frazier or Bryant after watching some video on them and reading up....too bad whoever gets drafted there won't be here till what 2018 haha

Here are the top 10 Red Sox prospects according to Baseball America:

1. SS Xander Bogaerts
2. OF Jackie Bradley
3. RHP Matt Barnes
4. RHP Allen Webster
5. LHP Henry Owens
6. C Blake Swihart
7. 3B Garin Cecchini
8. OF Bryce Brentz
9. SS Jose Iglesias
10. SS Deven Marrero
Cant wait for him to be promoted to AAA hes eligible for MLB ETA: 2014 :sighs:

The Red Sox farm system has definitely improved. Would be nice to add one of the famed Japanese pitchers, but we'll wait and see.

Outside of this list of top 10 there are others who are decent prospects: Jacobs, Ranaudo, De La Cruz, Johnson, etc. Not saying they are going to light the world on fire, but just that there are some decent prospects not on this list.

[Nomar]

Jacobs will light the world on fire next year.

Also look out for Vinicio, Kukuk and Buttrey to jump up the rankings.

Margot is the guy who could really fly up the lists. He's getting a lot of hype.

I've heard a lot about Jose Almonte also. On bleacher reports they called Almonte one of the 5 pitching prospects that could be the next Felix Hernandez which would be incredible beyond belief

I live pretty close to Portland and I plan on attending many games in 2013. It will be interesting to see where the Red Sox start a lot of their prospects in terms of level. That would be a pretty cool game, taking the top 10 prospect list and predicting where they start next season. Could even have two parts to it and have it where you predict where they end the season as well.

Portland is where you go to see LEGIT prospects. Most have a really short stop at AAA before promotion.

Portland will be stacked during the beginning of next year. Xander, JBjr, and Barnes will all start there. Webster could, but I doubt it. Workman, Ranaudo, Britton, and Shaw will be there too. Owens, Cecchini, Jacobs, Swihart, KDLC, and Coyle could be call ups during the season if they perform well at Salem.
