Huge prospect watcher here. Red Sox have been the top player development club since the turn of the century, but their current group of middle IF is really amazing.
Mookie Betts, Age21, AA 2b .402/.457/.623 5hr, 15sb. 15bb 9k.) Is perhaps the most statistically dominant pos player I can recall. Excels at everything. Possibly Dustin Pedroia with more speed and power.
Xander Bogearts Age21, MLB SS .268/.379/.357 Top 2 prospect in baseball coming into the year. Will be a perennial all-star once he starts hitting for power.
Deven Marrero Age23 AA, SS .287.380.448 Elite Defender and strong base runner, If he continues to hit should be at least an above average regular SS.
Wendell Rijo Age18 A, SS/2b 326/465/500 20bb, 21k. Youngest player in his league with almost a 1k ops. I imagine he and Marrero will be big trade bait for a young star.
Semi related: Red Sox apparently joining Yanks and others in breaking the international soft cap this year. (Boston apparently is signing the top pitching prospect.) My friend who works for an MLB club says rumour is a hard cap is coming so teams are going "fuck it"
