 More Red Sox NewsRed Sox LinksBoston's run of high-level prospects being promoted to the big league team appears to hitting a lull. ?I think the clear strength of our farm system is in a group of very high-ceiling players that we feel great about, most of whom are 18-20 years old,?? said general manager Theo Epstein. ?How we as an organization can impact those players and help them with their development and reach their ceilings will be a hugely important factor in our success starting in probably about 2012 and beyond.?? They are unlikely to receive help in 2010 and possibly 2011. ?That?s where the biggest gap is right now, at Triple A,?? said director of player development Mike Hazen. ?Hopefully over the course of next year that?s going to change, but right now there aren?t enough ready players, and that?s obviously our big challenge and our problem right now, that there?s not enough major league-ready-now players sitting [there] to take positions at the major league level.?? |
