Here is my new Top 258 list. I missed Victor Santos on previous attempts, & they released Johnny Felix. Was going to wait until after the season, but had a little time today & now that the door is closed on Chaim Bloom, seemed like a good time to add a new tab for who acquired the player.

Of the 258, 1 was acquired by Ben Cherington (Oddanier Mosqueda), 61 were acquired by Dave Dombrowski, 4 were acquired in the 6-week period between Dombrowski & Bloom (I labeled those ER in honor of Eddie Romero), & the other 192 were acquired by Bloom.

Fantastic list!

My second thought was that I'd probably have Meidroth and Anderson a couple of spots higher, but who do you bump? Awesome work.

Thx! I don't think I can rank Anderson any higher than he is considering his results so far. Of course he's very young & it's only 46 PAs, but he had a .453 OPS, 4 walks & 15 strikeouts across FCL & A-Ball.

& Meidroth? Idk, I'm just not that big of a believer. It might be a me issue. He only just turned 22 & he did put up a 119 wRC+ for Portland, & his plate discipline is impressive. I'll continue to mull on him. I may be marking him down unfairly for the name/face combo.

Regarding CM, it's not a you thing. Same reason Blaze is down on a lot of folks' radars I think. Not sure where he ends up defensively, doesn't hit so much like Schwarber types that you don't even care where he plays because you need the bat sooo much. Plus like I said, even a fanboy of the guy couldn't say who above him he displaces. He probably doesn't deserve being moved above that.

Your lists are the best out there imo, and I grew up as a prospect watcher on SP and love those guys.

Updated rankings. Mostly to get the DSL Rankings sharper before the inevitable cuts next month. Hard to know what to do with Bonaci based on the lack of information, so kind of split the baby. Feel free to AMA.

List stayed at 258 players with Kier Meredith retiring & Daniel Nunez being released, while Merlin Bido & Yermain Ruiz were added.

I just realized I don't have the Rule 5 Year for Victor Santos on the spreadsheet - it's this December (listed as 2024). He's also eligible for Minor League free agency in November, though.

Awesome rankings. Well done.
Thx! Just trying to make each version better than the last one & get them sharper & sharper. Didn't make any changes at the top because I think I've already thought about those ones a lot, & nothing has changed (except Bonaci). But there was lots of room for improvement further down. Moved some of the new draftees up, & moved some DSL guys up & others down...& my Brendan Cellucci & Wyatt Olds rankings I think were way off.

Good Stuff, as usual. Do you think Braimer is returning?
0 clue. There's been 0 reporting that I've been able to find other than the name of the list he's on. Seems silly to speculate so I just built a bunch of added risk into the ranking.

So there aren't currently over 250 Qualifying Prospects in the Red Sox org, but SP did their end of the season update (https://www.soxprospects.com/), so I might as well do a monthly one, too:

Yeah, my Bleis over C Note opinion might not be great. I just think Bleis's upside is still so much higher that it warrants the higher ranking despite him being so far away.

So, in general, I would say I value ceiling more than SoxProspects does. They tend to rate AAAA players a lot higher than I do because I would rather dream on upside over guys who can maaaaybe be replacement level players & don't really have a clear path to being better than that.

In Walter's defense, '22 Walter seemed like a player with decent upside. In 50 AA innings over 9 starts, he had a 2.88 ERA (2.26 xFIP), 0.78 WHIP, 12.2 k/9, 0.5 bb/9...kind of absurd. The downside was that it was his age 25 season & he turned 26 in September of that year. He pitched 7.2 innings over 2 starts in AAA & it didn't go well (8.22 ERA, 4.7 bb/9), but tiny sample size.

I might rate Walter higher than where I currently have him (I have him 61, SP has him 32) if I was invested in the Red Sox MiLB in '22 the way I started to be partway through this year, buuuut I wasn't, so he doesn't get as much credit for his dominant AA season, & I judge him more for his ~ok AAA season & pretty bad MLB season.

AAA - 94 IP, 4.60 ERA (4.60 xFIP), 1.43 WHIP, 8.4 k/9, 3.4 bb/9
MLB - 23 IP, 6.28 ERA (5.28 xFIP), 1.70 WHIP, 6.3 k/9, 2.7 bb/9

In MLB, Walter's 91.3 mph fastball was in the 13th percentile & his k-rate & whiff % would have been much lower than that if he qualified.

His sweeper & cutter were fairly effective, but his sinker & changeup got rocked. He seemed pretty useful against lefties (except the .467 BABIP), but was pretty awful against righties (5.2 k/9, 3.3 bb/9, 5.73 xFIP), & unless he can figure out how to get righties out, there isn't much of a role for him in modern baseball. He kind of profiles like a 27 y/o poor man's Bernardino right now, which isn't a great profile. So I would happily move him for value unless there is some sort of known injury he was pitching through or something.

On the flip side...he did seem to figure something out in Worcester along the way. Perhaps related to his time in MLB? But is becoming a good AAA pitcher the goal?

Prior to first promotion to Red Sox (4/1/23 to 6/17/23):
13 Games
12 GS
61.2 IP
43 ER
76 hits
26 walks
64 strikeouts

6.28 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, 3.8 bb/9, 9.3 k/9

After first promotion to Red Sox (6/30/23 to 9/22/23):
8 Games
6 GS
32.1 IP
5 ER
23 hits
9 walks
24 strikeouts

1.39 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 2.5 bb/9, 6.7 k/9

My guess is he realized that he had enough movement on his stuff to be able to pitch to contact & still get AAA hitters out rather than trying to blow it past them. It does not seem to work the same against MLB hitters, though.

So yeah...that's why I have him 61...I don't see him ever being an MLB starting pitcher you want in your rotation, & he only has limited usefulness currently as a lefty specialist. & he is already 27.

I don't want to take the time to do it more scientifically, because I don't know an easier way to look at/tabulate the data than to go into the game on Baseball Savant, but for fun, let's take the 1st game of the season & the last game of the season...

1st game
73 pitches
39 sinkers (53.4%)
16 changeups (21.9%)
9 sweepers (12.7%)
9 4-seam fastballs (12.7%)
0 cutters (0%)

Last game
67 pitches
22 sweepers (32.8%)
18 sinkers (26.9%)
16 changeups (23.9%)
9 cutters (13.4%)
2 4-seam fastballs (3%)

So yeah...he seems to have added the cutter during the season & gone away from sinkers & 4-seamers in exchange for more sweepers & the cutter. Cool stuff.

2nd game
82 pitches
42 sinkers (51.2%)
14 sweepers (17.1%)
13 changeups (15.9%)
12 4-seam fastballs (14.6%)
1 cutter (1.2%) - THE FIRST CUTTER!

2nd to last game
97 pitches
31 sinkers (32%)
24 sweepers (24.7%)
23 changeups (23.7%)
14 cutters (14.4%)
5 4-seam fastballs (5.2%)

many thanks, JM3
No problem! I love pitch mix stuff (I spent way too much time yesterday figuring out how I would remix Flaherty's pitch mix if we bought low on him) but I had never looked at it on a single-game basis on Savant before.

These tiers are awesome and pretty damn accurate imo, especially at the top. Really well done, and a nice way to look at it. At the end of the day, how much does it matter if we have Mayer/Anthony or Anthony/Mayer.

Thank you, sir. Who would you move down below? I know you have Coffey (C) in tier 6, & most people would have Hickey in tier 5.

At the end of the day, how much does any of this matter? lol

I used 11 as a stand-in for "not top 10" because it made my very lazy spreadsheet easier. I did actually rank Yorke 11th, but I don't know who BA had 11, & SP has Yordanny #20 smh.

Fitzgerald is 29 & had an approximately average hitting season in AAA (103 wRC+ in 369 PAs. It's a pretty substantial improvement over '22 which was his 1st full AAA season where he put up an 86 wRC+ in 520 PAs.

But he seems like a pretty average AAA player & not someone you would want to have on your MLB roster because he doesn't provide any elite skills.

His most appealing trait is his versatility. In his MiLB career he has the following # of games by position:

SS 304
3B 100
2B 63
RF 36
LF 28
CF 14
1B 14
DH 3

My understanding is that he's not particularly great at any of them, though. Not athletic enough to have above average range, but solid hands.

Fitzy is also not a great baserunner. In his MiLB career he has 37 steals & 30 caught stealing, including 9 & 7 with Worcester this year.

He's currently playing SS & 3B for Licey in LIDOM & is slashing .200/.273/.350, .623 in 22 PAs.

So yeah, if someone picks him up & he gets a bigger opportunity, great. & if no one does & he comes back & provides utility depth, great. Seems like Tyler McDonough will be doing a fair amount of that next year, & Nick Sogard still if he's back.

“While Mayer likely will start 2024 at Double-A Portland, his combination of skills and aptitude has given the Red Sox comfort in putting him on a fast track. If Mayer stays healthy for a full season, it wouldn’t be shocking to see him in the big leagues by the end of the year. His offensive profile at a premium defensive position suggests a clear path to being an above-average regular with a chance he could emerge, in the words of one evaluator, as ""a frickin’ monster."

It's almost 2 hours, my commute isn't going to cut it. Started while doing dishes.

But that's an interesting observation about Chris & Ian.
Listened through the rankings talk. Pretty sure I'm still where I was at regarding ~everything. I think it's kind of backwards that they want to give the benefit of the doubt to a guy like Alcantara because of upside, but not to guys like Blaze & Yordanny.

It's a higher tier of course, but I don't really understand the level of handwringing because Blaze didn't have great exit velos in AA as a 20 y/o... after having good exit velos & excellent results as a 20 y/o in A+ (& a 145 wRC+). & yes, he's certainly capped as a prospect if he can't play adequate defense to play 3B as well, but so are guys like Hickey & Niko who they seem to constantly rate highly despite even less defensive upside.

Hickey just turned 24 so he's a bit over 3 years older than Blaze. Like Blaze, he started the season in A+ & was promoted to AA. Hickey was a bit better in A+ & a lot better in AA, & he sees more pitches which seems big to them & I think is a cool approach thing if you can pull it off in MLB, but isn't necessarily a skill that translates as one progresses through the system, & Hickey's struggles in AFL are concerning.

So having Hickey 16 & Blaze 19 seems crazy to me. We don't think Blaze in 3 years is going to be significantly better than Hickey is right now?

& having YORDANNY at 20 because his fastball shape isn't great as a 20 y/o who throws hard AF & had great success going from FCL to A to A+ this season is crazy to me. He has plenty of time to develop a changeup, cutter, sinker, etc., & to improve the form of his fastball & I think it's a mistake to rank him as if those things aren't likely to occur.

& then Alcantara is 29 & a guy like Fraymi De Leon isn't ranked. What's so different about their profiles? Fraymi actually had a much higher pedigree ($1.2m signing bonus to $30k). Both are guys who turned 19 after the season who were signed as glove 1st guys & neither has shown the ability to significantly impact a baseball, yet. Fraymi at least had a 111 wRC+ in FCL this year compared to 82 for Alcantara.

The fun thing about this being my 1st season doing this is that we'll find out eventually who is righter lol

& I'm not trying to bash them. It's an intelligent, enoyable conversation & they could absolutely be right & I could be wrong.

Full disclosure: I was going to do an RNG prospect profile yesterday, but rolled Helcris Olivarez & I already wrote stuff on him recently, so I didn't.

Found this post from '20 about him which I thought was kind of fun, though.

There are a few interesting Rockies prospects not in their player pool that would needed to be added to their 40-man roster this winter.

1B/3B Colton Welker, ranked by MLB as their #8 prospect, had a down 2019 and is blocked by Arenado at third and McMahon at first, if that’s how they play it. He was a surprising non-add to this year’s player pool and I’m not sure what’s up with him. Helcris Olivarez, a 20-year-old LHP starter with “what appears to be massive potential when you see his arm strength, frame, and proclivity for spin,” is ranked #17, and I could see Bloom being high on a guy like that. And then there’s Riley Pint, a former #4 overall pick and Top 50 prospect whose career has been derailed by command issues after oblique and shoulder injuries, but still has incredible stuff and is only 22.

Hard to say what one month of Kevin Pillar is worth, but a team’s 17th-best prospect doesn’t seem too outlandish to me.
They ended up getting Jacob Wallace & then flipping him to the Royals for Wyatt Mills.

Wallace, 25, had a 4.20 ERA (5.76 xFIP) in 49.1 AA innings in the Royals system this year.

Will put more thought into this later, but I'm thinking probably something like...

#12 Richard Fitts
#75 Nicholas Judice

& Weissert may technically count as a prospect but meh.

Bleacher Report updated their Farm System Rankings today:

They have the Red Sox #3 behind only the Orioles & Cubs:

Top 10 Prospects
1. SS Marcelo Mayer (Tier 1)
2. OF Roman Anthony (Tier 1)
3. OF Ceddanne Rafaela (Tier 1)
4. C Kyle Teel (Tier 1)
5. OF Miguel Bleis (Tier 1)
6. 2B Nick Yorke (Tier 1)
7. RHP Wikelman Gonzalez (Tier 2)
8. RHP Richard Fitts (Tier 3)
9. SS Yoeilin Cespedes (Tier 3)
10. 1B/3B Blaze Jordan (Tier 3)

Marcelo Mayer hit just .189/.254/.355 over 190 plate appearances at Double-A following a midseason promotion, but he is still only 20 years old with one of the highest ceilings in the minors. He could join Trevor Story in Boston's middle infield before 2024 is over.

—Right-hander Richard Fitts finished 11-5 with a 3.48 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 163 strikeouts in 152.2 innings at Double-A last season, and he immediately becomes one of the top pitching prospects in the Boston system after he was acquired in the Alex Verdugo trade with the Yankees.

I’ve thought a lot about it, and I’m getting cooler and cooler on Rafaela.

I appreciate the defense in centerfield could be special, but the offense approach combined with his size/power combo feel like he would have to an extreme outlier to be a successful hitter.

I think I’d have Abreu’s more clear power and better approach ranked higher.

In fact, I maybe out of my lane here, but what’s the likelihood that a Terry Rosier type player, with a much lower ceiling, ends up with a better mlb career? It’s like 50/50, right?

The frustrating thing is all the reports that say he's got the physical tools to be a plus hitter, and we've (so far) been unable to unlock that.

He's still young, we've got time, but I do hope there's serious work going on behind the scenes trying to figure out a path forward for him.

Scary Terry? Not likely.

Hasn't he been a plus hitter throughout most of his minor league career?

By the numbers, yes, but not in terms of process. His problem is that he has really quick hands and he can get to just about anything in the minors. And maybe because of that he's never learned to take a walk and keeps making bad contact on stuff he shouldn't be swinging at in the first place, and then making the jump to MLB he suddenly can't get to everything anymore either so his K rate jumps 10 points.

That's all stuff that was known back when they promoted him to AAA, but so far he hasn't shown signs of improvement. I hope he can.
