Keith Law's Best Players Major league baseball Prospects: Red-colored Sox Farm System Brought By Xander Bogaerts, Blake Swihart
Two gamers within the Boston Red-colored Sox organization happen to be named among Keith Law's Best Players Major league baseball Prospects (ESPN Insider) in a listing released on Thursday.
Boston's top prospect, Xander Bogaerts (No. 62) is presently a shortstop, but might project like a third baseman later on. Signed being an worldwide free agent at age 16, Bogaerts rapidly demonstrated themself like a top prospect. Being an 18-years old earlier this season, Bogaerts hit .260 with 16 homers and 45 RBI in 72 games with Single-A Greenville.
SB Nation's Minor League Ball referred to Bogaerts being an already-intriguing prospect who could climb into elite status over the following year approximately.
For those who have read Newman's chats at Fangraphs, you'd know he's a large fan of Bogaerts, and I can tell why. Bogaerts has carried out above league average each and every level in the minor league career and 2012 could bring a lot of same.
I can tell him being rated in lots of Best Players prospect lists this year, most likely within the first half, however with another solid season while at bat, he or she is a high 20 prospect in due time. He might eventually proceed to third base, but at this time he'll most likely stick at shortstop till he proves he cannot remain at the positioning. ...
If he is able to remain at shortstop, not really a definite, he could be easily the next Top Ten prospect should he still hit for energy and improve his plate discipline a little this year.
Blake Swihart was Law's Mr. Irrelevant, no. 100 prospect, despite possessing just six Minor League at-bats up to now. A 19-years old catcher who's thought to have ample striking potential, Swihart was drafted within the first round from the 2011 draft and really should need lots of seasoning before reaching the Majors.
