Red Sox Top Prospect Voting: Eduard Bazardo looks to carry fall into summer

One of the fundamental challenges of this kind of prospect ranking exercise is just how you judge proximity versus upside. Everyone goes about it at least slightly differently, which is part of what makes it fun, and that conversation becomes more apparent the deeper you get into a list. Some people prefer the young, raw, unproven but supremely talented power/speed guys, while others prefer the lower ceilings but guys who are all but guaranteed a shot in the majors, and soon. The latest name on the list fits in the latter category. That would be Eduard Bazardo, who comes in at number 17 on our list, grabbing 48 percent of the vote.
