Future Shock
Top 100 Stock Check

Origin： http://baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=6448
41. Clay Buchholz, RHP, Red Sox, 22
Eligible Next Year? Most likely
Stock Movement Since Ranking: Up, like crazy up
The jump in stuff that we saw at the end of last year became permanent, as Buchholz blossomed from "just" one of the better righty pitching prospects around to arguably the best after posting a 1.77 ERA in 86.2 innings for Double-A Portland, boosted by 116 strikeouts and just 55 hits allowed.
48. Jacoby Ellsbury, OF, Red Sox, 23
Eligible Next Year? Probably
Stock Movement Since Ranking: Unchanged
Ellsbury was the hottest hitter in the minors for the first two weeks of the season, batting .452/.518/.644 in 17 games for Double-A Portland, but he came down to earth at Triple-A Pawtucket with a .286/.361/.380 line. And that’s the question--will he hit .300+? That is what's needed to make up for his lack of power and only average walk rate.
86. Michael Bowden, RHP, Red Sox, 20
Eligible Next Year? Yes
Stock Movement Since Ranking: Unchanged
Two months ago, this would have been a 'Way up' after Bowden ripped through the Cal League with a 1.37 ERA in eight games. Things haven’t gone as well at Double-A Portland, as Bowden has a 5.11 mark in 10 starts, and his control has gone south.

4. Clay Buchholz - RHP Red Sox - DOB: 08/14/84 - ETA: May 2008
Previous rankings: mid-2006 #122, 2007 #45
7-2, 1.77 ERA, 55 H, 116/22 K/BB in 86 2/3 IP for Double-A Portland
With more than twice as many strikeouts as hits allowed in Double-A this year, Buchholz has the best case as the top pitching prospect in the minors. His control isn't quite as good as the 5:1 K:BB ratio suggests, but he is very good at putting his offspeed pitches where he wants them. It's fastball command that can sometimes be a problem for him. He won't be able to overpower major league hitters quite like he has his opponents in the Eastern League, so he'll need to improve in that area in order to help the Red Sox next year. There's a slight chance that the Red Sox will break him in as a reliever down the stretch, just like they did with Jonathan Papelbon in 2005. However, they're concerned enough about his workload that they might prefer he be shut down after the minor league season ends. A debut in the first half of 2008 seems likely. He projects as a long-term No. 2.
15. Jacoby Ellsbury - OF Red Sox - DOB: 09/11/83 - ETA: April 2008
Previous rankings: 2006 #138, mid-2006 #67, 2007 #42
.452/.518/.644, 0 HR, 13 RBI, 7/6 K/BB, 8 SB in 73 AB for Double-A Portland
.286/.361/.380, 1 HR, 14 RBI, 26/23 K/BB, 23 SB in 213 AB for Triple-A Pawtucket
.375/.444/.438, 0 HR, 1 RBI, 0/2 K/BB, 1 SB in 16 AB for Boston
The left-handed-hitting Ellsbury isn't really the new Johnny Damon, but he could prove to be nearly as valuable of a player, partly because he'll be a better defender. If only he had a better arm, he could be a Gold Glove candidate someday. On offense, he's a true leadoff hitter. He might be good for 10 homers per year, but most of his extra-base hits will be doubles. The majority of his value will come in the form of a .280-.300 average and .360-.370 OBP. The Red Sox may trade Coco Crisp this winter if Ellsbury turns in a big second half in Triple-A.
35. Michael Bowden - RHP Red Sox - DOB: 09/09/86 - ETA: 2009
Previous rankings: 2007 #97
2-0, 1.37 ERA, 35 H, 46/8 K/BB in 46 IP for Single-A Lancaster
3-4, 5.11 ERA, 53 H, 39/23 K/BB in 49 1/3 IP for Double-A Portland
Lancaster has a history of chewing up and spitting out pitching prospects, so much so that the Red Sox got extra aggressive with Buchholz and had him open the season at Portland. Bowden, though, started off at Lancaster and had no problem at all with the ridiculous conditions. Double-A has proven to the tougher test for him, as he's battled control problems for the first time. Bowden throws in the low-90s and has an excellent curveball. He needs a better changeup or he's going to give up a lot of homers to left-handed hitters. Assuming there are no arm woes causing his command troubles, he should begin to adjust to Double-A any week now. He projects as a No. 3.

Grades dished out for first half (上半季紅襪總評)
Origin：http://www.soxandpinstripes.com/
Arthor：Jeff Louderback
Date：July 09, 2007
以下第一人稱均為此文原文筆者
紅襪全隊–B
紅襪在上半季靠著堅強的先發陣容和牛棚以及在得點圈打擊率未達到標準(.267)的打線，拿下了53勝34敗，以10場的勝差領先藍鳥和洋基。而洋基球迷一直念念不忘的1978年賽季，儘管在紅襪目前的戰績較於去年多了一敗，去年八月開始的低潮今年會再發生一次的機率很低，今年紅襪的先發和牛棚深度和去年不同，不容易將連敗數拉長。我給紅襪在上半季的評比是B，起伏不定的整體打線和有一些因為無法打出適時安打而反敗為勝的比賽扣了些分數，不過，目前的紅襪仍是聯盟中最有機會進入季後賽和奪下世界大賽冠軍的球隊之一
先發投手
Josh Becket –A
12W2L ERA 3.44
當去年Beckett的被HR數暴增時，筆者和其他少數球迷都建議紅襪再給他一次機會，現在我可以大聲說：早跟你說過了。Beckett目前的表現可說是紅襪先發的中流砥柱，也是為何紅襪目前仍保有全聯盟最佳戰績的原因之一。而目前他所主投的102局中，只被敲出6支HR
Dice-K – B
10W6L ERA 3.84
撇開禮拜天對老虎那場不談，松坂的確已經顯示出了當初紅襪球團砸下51.1M競標金的價值所在。在對虎軍那場以前他在四場先發裡只掉了兩分六場先發總共只丟了六分，他適應MLB打者的時間比我想像中的來的快，在下半季紅襪進軍季後賽的藍圖裡，他會是個不可或缺的要角
Tim Wakefield – B -
9W8L ERA 4.39
老蝴蝶在今年的表現呈現兩極化的反應，在蝴蝶球順手的情況下他可以以其迷惑打者，不順手的話就只能看他被迫塞直球然後被打者敲出全壘打。今年他在106.2局的投球中被打出100支安打，並不差、可是也保送了42位打者，並不好。今年有可能是他和Schilling在紅襪的最後一年，讓我們祈禱當他主投時，在投手丘上的會是那位以蝴蝶球三振打者的投手，而不是年老力衰的那位吧
Julian Tavarez – B
5W7L ERA 4.97
大寶在數據上或許不是那麼的亮眼，5勝7敗ERA 4.97，平均每局被打超過一支安打。不過在大多數他先發的比賽中紅襪在最後都贏了該場比賽，你還能從一位No.5 先發投手上奢求更多嗎？理想的情況下，在Lester被call up後，Tavarez 會轉往牛棚分攤一些工作，不過如果在某位先發投手因為受傷或需要他來頂個一場先發時，他會是不二人選
Curt Schilling – C
6W4L ERA 4.20
這位沙場老將今年的表現有高有低，目前總結是6勝4敗 ERA 4.20。在其餘先發諸將上半季狀況理想的情形下，Schilling仍舊是紅襪在邁向總冠軍的重要拼圖，在大比賽時我們仍舊需要他，由於肩膀的傷勢，他的歸隊日期或許會延到八月初以後。而Theo在Buehrle已經無望的情況下，或許會對太空人的Oswalt採取行動…
Kason Gabbard - Incomplete
2W0L ERA 4.97
這位新人左投目前成績是2勝0敗 ERA 4.97，值得一提的他在對老虎、遊騎兵和勇士的三場先發投的都還不差。我再說一次，Gabbard在大聯盟會是個很稱職的五號先發
牛棚
Jonathan Papelbon - A
20sv ERA 1.93 46 SO, 32.2 IP
最近的一期SI(運動畫刊)訪問了大聯盟各隊的GM，如果他們要創造一支新的球隊，會先選哪幾位球員，第一名是大都會的Jose Reyes，第二就是Papelbon。他已經漸漸成長為聯盟最有主宰力的終結者，水手的Putz可以和他媲美，但Papelbon的優勢不只有他的亮麗數據，在投手丘上的壓迫感才是他能夠令打者不希望與他對決的主因
Hideki Okajima – A
2W0L ERA 0.83
原本只期望他能夠陪公子練球，在大聯盟的第一球就被擊出全壘打的岡島卻在短時間內負擔起了紅襪的佈局投手和分擔了一些Papelbon的重擔，在43.1局的投球中他只被打出24支安打。岡島的加盟就和松坂一樣的有價值
Brendan Donnelly – B
2W1L ERA 3.05
Donnelly並不是紅襪所期待的強力佈局右投，但仍舊是牛棚的主力之一，帳面成績不差，2W1L ERA 3.05 20.2局的投球被打出19支安打更值得一提的是在27場出賽只有五場有失分紀錄。目前正在為右前臂傷勢復健的他或許會在七月底復出，意味著另一位牛棚投手Pineiro或許會…
Joel Pineiro – F
1W1L ERA 5.04
既然是F就沒什麼好說的了…
Mike Timlin – C
1W0L ERA 4.38
如果Tim在上半季結束前沒有那連續六場比賽中繼無失分的表現，他在上半季的評比很有可能是F。在Donnelly回來後工作不保的絕對會是Pineiro
Kyle Snyder – B
1W1L ERA 2.81
控球是他最大的問題，32局的投球出現17次保送，三振25人次。在Tavarez轉入牛棚的情況下，他有可能會被釋出，Tavarez能夠負擔較多的投球局數
Javier Lopez – B
1W1L ERA 3.00
Francona大多把Lopez用於一人投手，不過在必要時也會讓他負擔一局的投球，Lopez對左打和右打都有相當的壓制力，儘管左打對左投的他打擊率.283而右打只有.200
Manny Delcarmen – Incomplete
ERA 1.69
Delcarmen是紅襪牛棚的另一位驚喜，雖然出賽場次還不夠多，相較於去年他在今年的比賽顯的更有自信和更可靠了，在今年的10場出賽只有一場有失分紀錄。他今年的控球改善不少，原本就可輕易投到96. 97mph的速球搭配一顆不錯的曲球，或許下半季紅襪在右投佈局投手的位置上不需要再尋求外援
捕手
Jason Varitek – B
0.279 8HR 36RBI
許多紅襪迷擔憂隊長在去年的傷勢低潮後，能否在今年反彈回來。而他也在明星賽前繳出了0.279 8HR 36RBI的成績，Varitek的價值還是在於他在本壘板後面的能力，或許他在打擊上沒有AL其他三位捕手耀眼，他仍是隊上不可或缺的一員大將
Doug Mirabelli – D -
.189 3HR 9RBI
一位稱職的二號捕手絕對是紅襪目前急需補強的位置，Mirabelli 現在的功用只剩下替老蝴蝶接球和讓隊長能夠每個禮拜能夠休息一天。如果他和Wakefield兩人是共生共存的話，我覺得現在是時候與兩人劃清界線了
內野手
David Ortiz – B
.314 14HR 52RBI (IsoP only 0.242, last 3 yrs average 0.318)
長打哪去了？目前的Papi在打擊率和RISP上維持過去三年的水準，不過他的HR和打點卻比逾期中少了許多，下半季我們期待可以看到更具長打力的Papi
(小弟按：Papi過去三年的IsoP在ASG後會比ASG前多0.045，pre-ASG 0.300、post-ASG 0.345)
Kevin Youkilis – A
0.328 9HR 44RBI OBP 0.419
上半季紅襪最可靠的打者不是左右門神，而是Youkilis。上半季的最後一個禮拜少了他紅襪在進攻上少了不少穩定的上壘和火力，他的傷勢復原程度對紅襪的下半季也很重要
Dustin Pedroia – B
0.318 21 doubles OBP 0.400
Pedroia在經過了四月的適應期後，上半季以火熱的打擊和守備證明了Theo去年將Mark Loretta放走的選擇是正確的，目前紅襪最讓我放心的兩位打者分別是Pedroia和Youkilis
Julio Lugo – F
.197 5HR 40RBI OBP 0.270
上半季的Lugo繳出了22次盜壘、5支HR和40分打點，0.197的打擊率是他的致命傷…希望他能夠延續上半季最後一場的3 for 3的手感，將下半記得打擊成績提升，紅襪負擔不起將一個打擊率不滿0.200的先發SS放進季後賽25人名單
Mike Lowell – A
0.300 14HR 63RBI
今年的Lowell在三壘守備失去了以往的金手套水準，但是在打擊部分適時補上了Papi和Manny的今年尚未展現的長打能力。如果下半季能維持，明年有可能會繼續看到他
Alex Cora – B
0.278 2HR 15RBI
Cora在上半季適時填補了二遊在兩個時期不同的洞，他是上半季紅襪最重要的球員之一。如果有一個工具人MVP的獎項，Cora將以高票當選
Eric Hinske – C
0.193 3HR 11RBI (17支安打中有10支是長打)
上場時間的不穩定造成了Hinske的打擊成績並不亮眼，不過可以守左右外野加一三壘的他帶給了紅襪在使用上的便利性，或許整體成績並不亮眼，但在corner fielders無法出賽是他是候補的第一人選
外野手
Manny Ramirez – B
0.284 11HR 45RBI (IsoP only 0.181)
今年的Manny在長打數據上的驟降不需多提，甚至連RISP都低到只有 0.237。往好的方面想，在中心打者尚未打出應有的水準下，紅襪目前的戰績為MLB最佳、壞消息是，現在已經七月了，三人還沒有為球隊打下球隊需要的分數
J.D. Drew – D-
0.258 6HR 33RBI
最近幾個禮拜他是打的不差，但仍舊掩蓋不了上半季的低潮。紅襪簽他的理由是擔任第五棒保護Manny，而他卻只打了6HR加33 RBI，RISP只有0.228
Coco Crisp – C
0.265 44R 16SB
靠著他從六月開始加溫的打擊，Coco將他的成績由D拉到了C，打擊率也拉到了0.265。如果純以防守來評分，他拿到的會是A，今年在中外野有不少的nice play，幫了投手不少忙
(小弟按：Coco目前在外野手的fielding WS是全聯盟最高的5.6，僅供參考)
Wily Mo Pena – F
一個有長打能力的打者打不到球也是白搭，去年他的確有不錯的表現，但Pena需要更多的打數來養成，目前的紅襪無法提供如此的機會。Theo應該把尊嚴放在一旁，看能否以Pena交易到一些牛棚右投。紅襪AAA的幾位外野手都有不錯的潛力，尤其是前陣子剛上來的Ellsbury。

長打哪去了？目前的Papi在打擊率和RISP上維持過去三年的水準，不過他的HR和打點卻比逾期中少了許多，下半季我們期待可以看到更具長打力的Papi
(小弟按：Papi過去三年的IsoP在ASG後會比ASG前多0.045，pre-ASG 0.300、post-ASG 0.345)
Kevin Youkilis – A
0.328 9HR 44RBI OBP 0.419
上半季紅襪最可靠的打者不是左右門神，而是Youkilis。上半季的最後一個禮拜少了他紅襪在進攻上少了不少穩定的上壘和火力，他的傷勢復原程度對紅襪的下半季也很重要
Dustin Pedroia – B
0.318 21 doubles OBP 0.400
Pedroia在經過了四月的適應期後，上半季以火熱的打擊和守備證明了Theo去年將Mark Loretta放走的選擇是正確的，目前紅襪最讓我放心的兩位打者分別是Pedroia和Youkilis
Julio Lugo – F
.197 5HR 40RBI OBP 0.270
上半季的Lugo繳出了22次盜壘、5支HR和40分打點，0.197的打擊率是他的致命傷…希望他能夠延續上半季最後一場的3 for 3的手感，將下半記得打擊成績提升，紅襪負擔不起將一個打擊率不滿0.200的先發SS放進季後賽25人名單
Mike Lowell – A
0.300 14HR 63RBI
今年的Lowell在三壘守備失去了以往的金手套水準，但是在打擊部分適時補上了Papi和Manny的今年尚未展現的長打能力。如果下半季能維持，明年有可能會繼續看到他
Alex Cora – B
0.278 2HR 15RBI
Cora在上半季適時填補了二遊在兩個時期不同的洞，他是上半季紅襪最重要的球員之一。如果有一個工具人MVP的獎項，Cora將以高票當選
Eric Hinske – C
0.193 3HR 11RBI (17支安打中有10支是長打)
上場時間的不穩定造成了Hinske的打擊成績並不亮眼，不過可以守左右外野加一三壘的他帶給了紅襪在使用上的便利性，或許整體成績並不亮眼，但在corner fielders無法出賽是他是候補的第一人選
外野手
Manny Ramirez – B
0.284 11HR 45RBI (IsoP only 0.181)
今年的Manny在長打數據上的驟降不需多提，甚至連RISP都低到只有 0.237。往好的方面想，在中心打者尚未打出應有的水準下，紅襪目前的戰績為MLB最佳、壞消息是，現在已經七月了，三人還沒有為球隊打下球隊需要的分數
J.D. Drew – D-
0.258 6HR 33RBI
最近幾個禮拜他是打的不差，但仍舊掩蓋不了上半季的低潮。紅襪簽他的理由是擔任第五棒保護Manny，而他卻只打了6HR加33 RBI，RISP只有0.228
Coco Crisp – C
0.265 44R 16SB
靠著他從六月開始加溫的打擊，Coco將他的成績由D拉到了C，打擊率也拉到了0.265。如果純以防守來評分，他拿到的會是A，今年在中外野有不少的nice play，幫了投手不少忙
(小弟按：Coco目前在外野手的fielding WS是全聯盟最高的5.6，僅供參考)
Wily Mo Pena – F
一個有長打能力的打者打不到球也是白搭，去年他的確有不錯的表現，但Pena需要更多的打數來養成，目前的紅襪無法提供如此的機會。Theo應該把尊嚴放在一旁，看能否以Pena交易到一些牛棚右投。紅襪AAA的幾位外野手都有不錯的潛力，尤其是前陣子剛上來的Ellsbury。
