Middlebrooks Is Number One Sox Prospect

Baseball America now ranks third baseman Will Middlebrooks (pictured) as the organization's top prospect. Second on the list is the athletic Aruban SS Xander Bogaerts—who may actually also project as a third baseman down the road. Ryan Lavarnway, who had a nice run with the big club last year, is placed 9th on the list. Other players of note are power-hitting OF Bryce Brentz (5th) and RHP Anthony Ranaudo (4th).
