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.

A dazzling prospect whose career was suspended (at least) by emergency brain surgery, Sox outfield prospect Ryan Westmoreland spent all of 2011 recovering, and it'll take at least that long before the Red Sox know whether he'll ever really be able to return to an elite level of play. Before the wheels fell off his career, Westmoreland had broken through as the Red Sox most-promising outfield prospect, and an excellent argument could have been made for best overall prospect as well. A lanky and athletic fielder with a powerful combination of plus power and outstanding plate discipline, he's just too good to give up on, no matter how serious his setback.
