FanGraphs has released their top 120 prospects in baseball on Wednesday, and the Red Sox arguably did as well here as anywhere else, largely thanks to the addition of Jeter Downs to their system. They did have three players on Baseball America’s list with Downs, Triston Casas and Bobby Dalbec, but they were all towards the back of the list. Comparing that to landing two on FanGraphs further up — we’ll get to the specifics in a moment — depends on how you value quality versus quantity in a sense.
Anyway, on FanGraphs, Downs and Casas both made the list as the only two 50 Future Value prospects in the system.
