The minor-league season wrapped up about a week ago with the two teams in the postseason — Salem and Lowell — losing the semifinals and finals, respectively. No one here is going to try and tell you that the Red Sox farm system is suddenly one of the best in the game, or even anything than in the bottom-third of the league. I specifically will tell you that I don’t have enough knowledge of the league as a whole in the prospect world to have anything more than a wild guess on where they should rank.
What I will tell you, however, is that things feel like they are on the upswing again.
