At some point over the next week, I’ll release my version of the Top 15 prospects currently in the Red Sox farm system. Before I do that, I thought it might be a good idea to look at five prospects that we don’t really know a lot about, but...

This week I will be previewing the Double A Portland Sea Dogs, a team filled with the Red Sox system’s top prospects. 2012 Season: Under manager Kevin Boles, the Sea Dogs finished the 2012 season at 68-73, missing out on the playoffs. Outfielder Bryce Brentz...

Writing different introductions to several prospect pieces every week is hard. For that reason, I present to you without drama my list of AL East prospects who are best positioned to impact the pennant race this year. I’ve broken this down to the three players who...

The Portland Sea Dogs are absolutely stacked this season Top prospects Xander Bogaerts and Matt Barnes will likely start the season in Portland, two big reasons to pay attention to the Sea Dogs. Beyond that, though, Portland is stacked with other players who have a...

With the Red Sox minor league camp opening soon, I thought I would give my list of the top ten Red Sox prospects. The top four are probably the consensus picks of most prospect writers, while the rest get more subjective as you move further away from the upper minors....

Keith Law is very good at his job. He has an impressive resume, a clear knack for evaluating talent and an impressive selection of sources from which to glean information. You may dislike the combative persona he’s built for himself, but that doesn’t detract from his...

Technically, this is old news. And by old news, I mean Wednesday. Still, it’s worth noting, since we’re in that weird stretch between the postseason and the Hot Stove League where very little happens. Luckily, Baseball America and the...

<a title="" When Theo Epstein assumed the role of Red Sox General Manager prior to the 2003 season, one of his missions was to build a “$100M player development machine.” While his goal was certainly ambitious, he faced two big obstacles: a...

It’s been mentioned pretty much everywhere, but this Boston Red Sox team is about to change. With six starting pitchers, nine outfielders, and plenty of depth in the minors, something has to give. With that being said, let’s take a quick look at how some of Boston’s...
by mike scandura | Aug 6, 2011 | Boston Red Sox, Brandon Workman
Right-hander Brandon Workman came to the Red Sox with a made-to-order nickname: Workhorse. Workman, who was Boston’s fourth pick (57th overall) in the second round of the 2010 draft, was -– what else? –- a workhorse last season for Texas. A 6-foot-5, 225-pounder,...
