The minor league system is considered a weakness of the Boston Red Sox organization with few major league-ready prospects and limited star power. That hasn’t always been the case though. Boston has depleted their farm system by graduating prospects to the big leagues and using others as trade chips to acquire proven stars. Looking back at the players they drafted and developed, the Red Sox have had one of the best farm systems in baseball this decade.
Jim Callis of MLB.com ranked the Red Sox No. 3 on his list of the best farm system of this decade.
