Warning: players who appear in our live prospects listing, but are ranked near the very bottom of the list, may only appear because they were once ranked higher and still technically qualify. As a side-effect of our automated processes, the end of the publicly-visible list also collects longshots, recently-retired players, foreign players unlikely to enter MLB, near-busts and other extreme dark-horse candidates. It does not mean that there are not 'better' prospects, only that better prospects in our system lack enough accurate data and/or scouting inputs to become visible at this time. Always read the detailed information and consult other sources before drawing conclusions about prospect viability, and never, ever, ever treat a 'ranking' alone as if it's meaningful.

Everyone who sees the kid loves his makeup, but for some reason he never does seem to stay in one place very long. Boston will have the next opportunity to bring him up to the MLB level. At each stop so far, he's shown good strikeout ability and a knack for not giving up too many homers. He walks a few too many, but he's improving that regard, so it shouldn't hold him back too much. He's a textbook gamer as a pitcher, working his 92mph fastball to both sides of the plate and mixing in a plus curve and good changeup just often enough to keep batters off-balance.
Look for this quirky right hander in the mix sometime in 2012. He's no ace anchor, but if he gets a shot at the middle of a rotation, he could move right in and be a happy cog for years to come.
