We know the strength of the Red Sox organization does not currently lie in the minors right now. Boston has seen a number of top prospects graduate and a lot of others traded for current stars, and that obviously has an effect on a farm system. Granted, I think we’ll all take that trade-off every single time considering what happened last year and the kind of season they should be able to put up in the coming season. Still, this is the time of year where the national baseball audience tends to put a whole lot of focus on farm systems, and thus it is a time in which we’ll see just how rough the organization’s minor-league system is right now.
