There’s probably been more ink spilled about Noah Song than just about any other Rule 5 draft pick in recent memory. It’s all a bit much — Song is unlikely to become an impact big leaguer, both because no prospect of his pedigree is ever likely to become an impact big leaguer, and because his development path makes things so much more difficult for him. But if he can somehow regain the form he showed as a 22-year-old five years ago, it would go a long way towards restocking the Red Sox pitching pipeline. (Peter Abraham, Boston Globe)
But, even in the best case scenario, Song won’t be helping the Red Sox this year.
