Finally, keep in mind that all grades are shorthand. You have to read the full comment in the book for my full opinion about a player, the letter grade only tells you so much. A Grade C prospect in rookie ball could end up being very impressive, while a Grade C prospect in Triple-A is likely just a future role player. Jumped from Dominican Summer League to Sally League and showed very impressive power, needs polish and experience but terrific upside. May end up at third base.
Has the build and stuff of a rotation anchor, and improved every year in college. Still some rough edges and he won't get to the majors as fast as Trevor Bauer or Danny Hultzen , but he could be a real steal at 19 th -overall in the '11 draft. Needs at-bats in Triple-A.
His glove isn't good, but I think his reputation as a total butcher is a little overblown. Whatever they do with him, he'll hit. Needs better defense but I like the bat. Another guy who could rank much higher once he gets some at-bats under his belt.
A second baseman who can hit is harder to find than an outfielder, so I put him ahead of Brentz. Could develop into Ryan Ludwick-type hitter, or he could fizzle in Triple-A. Will his velocity pick up? Did the switch to the less-potent bats expose his flaws? Could rank much higher, or much lower, a year from now. Workman the workhorse. We are excited to announce that our program will be transitioning to the team name US9Prospects.
This change is made as we welcome the merger of the established Hamden Yard Dogs program from Connecticut and our expansion into Northern Virginia with teams that began play last fall. Our combined efforts and expanded network will enhance the development and placement of our players at all levels in all regions. The Wilson Team Shop is now open. Hard goods, including bats and gear, can be purchased at discounted prices all year.

Our Mission: The Boston Prospects Baseball Club is an elite showcase baseball organization, with teams dedicated to providing an advanced level of instruction, competition and development for athletes striving to play college baseball. We look for players that are focused athletes who possess a combination of drive, work ethic and talent necessary to succeed in achieving their goal of playing college baseball.
We are now taking pre-orders. Order early and order often! Grade A prospects are the elite. They have a good chance of becoming stars or superstars.
Almost all Grade A prospects develop into major league regulars, if injuries or other problems don't intervene. Note that is a major "if" in some cases. Grade B prospects have a good chance to enjoy successful careers. Some will develop into stars, some will not. Most end up spending several years in the majors, at the very least in a marginal role.
Grade C prospects are the most common type. Cecchini, Workman, Vitek, and Balcom-Miller are all B- types with a good chance to raise their grades. All told, the system has thinned out but there is raw material percolating that could make it look much better a year from now. The Sox have shown they will invest loads of money in the farm system, and I don't doubt their ability to recharge quickly.
