Boston Red Sox: Top 2010 Prospects

Every Year, the Red Sox Get a Little More Local

Theo Epstein's reinvention of the Red Sox isn't news anymore, but it's still impressive to see how deeply his approach has changed the once-sluggish franchise. The team moves quickly to sign big free agents while keeping a Steve Jobsian veil of secrecy over its negotiations. They sign the most exciting international players, often before other teams have even figured out what's happening. And they continue to draft with serious smarts, keeping the farm pipeline fresh and flowing. From Youkilis to Pedroia to Ellsbury to Lester to Bard to Iglesias, there's never an interruption in the talent supply. As has become usual, today's Red Sox farm is a veritable who's who of top-level baseball prospects.   

The hottest ticket in Beantown, ex-shortstop Casey Kelly is all pitcher now, and he's looking more and more like a future Boston ace.
