Baseball America’s Top 100 Prospects has Matsuzaka as the #1 prospect. I suppose that’s true, insofar as Daisuke hasn’t proven anything at the major league level. But it’s still odd to think of players as old as Daisuke as prospects. Ellsbury (#33), Buchholz (#51), Bard (#81) and Bowden (#83) round up the Sox representation in the top.
Meanwhile, how did the Yankees’ farm system go from pathetic to really good in so short a time? Hughes and Jose Tabata both look really good.
