Best Redsox prospects?

Who do you think the Sox should have high hopes for 2007 and beyond? Jacob Ellsbury was tearing AAA maybe he is ready for firing. But people like Hansen and Delcarmen were disappointments compared to Papelbon and Lester.

In the list of top 50 low factor on the official site site minor baseball, Jason Ellsbury was ranked number 36. He was the only ranked in the top 50 of the organization Red Sox. Baseball America lists also as the best prospect in the organization. The report said he has only played in A and AA last year. If this is correct, it will be too big leap to hope that it will be in the majors next year. Also with an external field of Ramirez, White, and Drew, it no room for Ellsbury to play. 36Jacoby Ellsbury, OF, Red Sox (58) 2006 stats: [A] .299 BA / .379 OBP / .418 SLG [AA] 0308 BA / OBP .382 / .425 SLG 2006 Club: Wilmington / Portland ETA in Majors: 2008 2006 Pre-season Rank: NR In his first full season, the Oregon State product jumped a level, won a title and went to the AFL. It could be the center fielder of the Red Sox leadoff hitter and a not too distant future. On the Scout.com rankings, the best hope for the Red Sox catcher George Kottaras is at # 54 which is also in AA. It was the only four-star rated prospect in the Red Sox system and has been commercially available in San Diego. It is blocked by Varitek well and it seems strange that the Red Sox have targeted him. However, his claim to fame so far is to hit a home run off Yankee prospect Philip Hughes in the game to run. Dustin Pedroia is ranked # 80 and considered a prospect three stars. He was not someone notable in the system on various lists of potential customers. The best prospects last year's course included Andy Marte who is now with Cleveland, and NL Rookie of the Year Hanley Ramirez and Hannibal Sanchez threw a no hitter last year for the Marlins. On the basis of what is currently in the system, things do not look too bright in the future. However, the Red Sox seem to be built to win now if there are positive prospects for the coming years.
