It’s that time of year where different publications are putting out their top prospect lists of each MLB organization. This time around, MLB.com has come out with their top 100 prospects in baseball and we find four minor leaguers with the Boston Red Sox in the top 100.
The highest ranking prospect the Red Sox have in MLB.com’s Top 100 prospects is third baseman Will Middlebrooks. He comes in at No. 56.
Here’s a little video of some highlights of Middlebrooks from the 2011 season.
Joining Middlebrooks in the top 100 are outfielder Bryce Brentz (No. 64), shortstop Xander Bogaerts (No. 76) and catcher Ryan Lavarnway (No. 93).
As I’ve said in the past, as of right now only Lavarnway probably figures into the Red Sox’s plans for 2012. Of course anything could change and we could possibly see Middlebrooks if there are some injuries.
