A big, strong lefthander, Nick Hagadone was the Red Sox first draft pick (a sandwich pick) in 2007. Hagadone's fastball is hard for a lefty: it ticks as high as 96mph and shows good movement. He complements it with a good slider and an above-average straight change. He was Tim Lincecum's closer in college, also making a few spot starts for the Huskies, but the Red Sox were grooming him as a starter until he was shut down for TJ surgery in mid-2008.

Now an Indian thanks to the trade that sent Victor Martinez to Boston, he spent a year recovering and another one regaining his stuff, but in 2011 looked almost as good as previously-advertised. Spending half his season at AA Akron and the rest at AAA Columbus, all in relief, Hagadone posted a combined 2.82 ERA and 1.11 WHIP, striking out almost 10 batters per inning. It doesn't look like he'll start any games again, but when it comes to relief prospects, you can't do much better.
