The future success of every Major League team lies in its Minor League system. With that in mind, each preseason, MLB.com takes a top-to-bottom look at all 30 organizations, from top prospects to recent draft picks.
Boston has long been recognized for producing stellar ballplayers, either for its own use or as trade bait. A steady stream of homegrown pitchers and infielders has contributed to the success the Red Sox have enjoyed for much of this decade, and that trend should continue in 2007 and beyond.
The likes of Jacoby Ellsbury, Bryce Cox and Daniel Bard will only serve to remind folks in New England how good the Boston system is. And when the aforementioned trio teams up with many of the other youngsters or with players acquired by trading said youngsters, Red Sox Nation will rejoice even further.
If it sounds like a gushfest, well, that's because in a way it is. It's difficult not to like the talent the Red Sox have produced in recent years and what that talent has been able to provide. Big Papi and big free agents will always grab the headlines in cities like Boston and New York. But when you have talent like the Sox have coming up, it shouldn't be ignored.
