ESPN Insider Keith Law has released his top minor league systems for 2013 and we find the Boston Red Sox coming in at No. 13.
Law has the St. Louis Cardinals ranked No. 1 followed by the Minnesota Twins, Tampa Bay Rays, Houston Astros and Chicago Cubs.
Here's what Law had to say about the Red Sox:
A lot went right on the farm for Boston this year, with Xander Bogaerts looking like he can stay at shortstop, Jackie Bradley Jr. lighting everyone up with his plate discipline and Matt Barnes and Henry Owens posting very strong full-season debuts. The system's real shortage is in big league ready talent, with right-hander Allen Webster probably the closest.
I'm not surprised about this at all. Like he says, there's not enough big league ready talent. But things could change if Bogaerts and Bradley get off to hot starts this season.
