2013 Boston Red Sox Top 16 Prospects

After seeing their farm system, once seen as a precious commodity, decline in recent years, Boston’s prospect pool is starting to rebound. Through the draft and trades, the Red Sox have accumulated a nice blend of young position players and pitchers, who populate every level of their system. Although the team lacks the type of top-end talent of some teams, they are incredibly deep with players whose ceilings are potentially high but still unclear. It appears that some of these prospects could start debuting at Fenway as soon as this season, so fans will start getting an opportunity to see the kind of talent Boston really has. –Andrew Martin

Thanks, in large part, to the past two drafts, the Orioles have two of the best pitching prospects in the game with both being near MLB ready. They lack any true position prospects that can make an impact this year or next. thanks to the promotion of Manny Machado, but they have some good talent up the middle that could be ready to contribute in a few years.

2013 Texas Rangers Top 16 Prospects

Toolsy, middle infielders are thick as thieves in this system. Between Jurickson Profar (SS), Leury Garcia (SS), Luis Sardinas (SS),  Rougned Odor (2B), Hanser Alberto (SS), it’s quite possible this is the reason the big club is considering moving Ian Kinsler off second base with Profar knocking on the door and if the others continue to develop making it easier to replace Elvis Andrus at SS if they are unable to sign him in two years. Overall, this is a system going through a transitional phase, but the upside of talent is still one of the best in the game. –Dave England
