After our community top twenty prospects list began with three position players in the top four spots, we had two consecutive pitchers with a third one appearing to be on the way. Sure enough, the battle for the seventh spot largely came down to a pair of pitchers, one a reliever and the other a starter. As it turns out, the reliever got the majority of the votes in a battle that didn’t end up being all that close. Our number seven prospect is Durbin Feltman, who received 23 of 36 votes (64 percent).
Feltman is perhaps the most well-known third-round pick in recent Red Sox history, though it’s not really a huge surprise.
