The Red Sox farm system appears to be pretty clearly tiered, with a top tier that used to feature one but now has a new addition, a second tier that takes you down to about the seven spot, and now we are in the third tier where things get a little more muddled. Surprisingly, at least to me, that wasn’t really the case in this particular vote. Two pitchers were vying for this number eight spot, but ultimately it was the younger and more inexperienced of the two getting the nod. That would be Thad Ward, who comes in as our number eight prospect after grabbing 54 percent of the vote.
