This past week was a big one for many baseball fans around the internet as Baseball America released their top 100 prospects list, a list on which four prospects from the Boston Red Sox organization ranked. Now many sites do their own top 100 (or 101) lists, and many of them quite well, but it’s still Baseball America that holds the most prestige. They’ve been doing this since 1990 when Steve Avery — hey, we know him! — was their first ever top 100 list.
Over the years, like every other organization around the league, Boston’s system has waxed and waned, and right now they are on the upswing.
