Red Sox Top Prospect Voting: Wilkelman Gonzalez is a 2022 breakout candidate

Looking back at the first half of our community prospect rankings, which was finished up earlier this week with Gilberto Jimenez taking the 10th spot, the list was unsurprisingly dominated by position players. The outfielder made it seven out of the 10 spots being taken up by hitters, with only three pitchers making the list. This has long been Boston’s MO on the farm, but it’s worth mentioning that the pitching has been getting better. A lot of that focus has been on the upper levels with good, but relatively low-ceiling arms. Well, there are some exciting arms down in the lower levels as well, perhaps no one more worth watching than Wilkelman Gonzalez.
