As we move towards the end of our annual community top 20 Red Sox prospect rankings, we tend to see a dwindling number of votes, presumably because we’re getting into a little bit more of a niche-y type area of the system. That, in turn, leads to closer votes, and sure enough for this number 19 spot we had a tie. To break this tie, because the tie occurred at the last second and I didn’t have time to poll staff, I looked to the expert rankings and went with the player who was consistently ranked more highly on those lists.
