With Spring Training under way, there are plenty of prospects that are making an impression on their teams. This is an important time of year for prospects who got the invite to the major league camp. Front office personnel usually have their eyes on prospects throughout the season, but the big league manager and coaches only get to see these guys...
Keury De La Cruz And Shiny New Toys
Entering the 2012 season, Red Sox prospect Keury De La Cruz was a relative unknown after two years of modest production in short season baseball. At 20, De La Cruz burst onto the prospect scene by posting a .308/.352/.536 line in the South Atlantic League before earning a late season promotion. Is De La Cruz a legitimate prospect? Sure, but the amount of hype he has received due...
A-Rod takes out Red Sox first baseman, says it reminded him of high school football
Alex Rodriquez looked like Brandon Jacobs rumbling through a lone safety when he ran into the Boston Red Sox first baseman during Wednesday night's game at Fenway Park.
New York Yankee fans held their breaths after A-Rod plowed into James Loney and stayed on the ground for a moment before getting up and dusting himself off. They had a reason to worry. It's only been...

Jacobs turned down the Auburn University football program to take swings in the minor leagues, while Bradley was the College World Series MVP.
Red Sox fare better in Baseball Prospectus top prospect list
We were disappointed to see just two Red Sox on ESPN's top 100 prospects list earlier this month, but Baseball Prospectus paints a rosier picture today. Four Red Sox are featured in Kevin Goldstein's top 101 in baseball:
32. SS Xander Bogaerts

98. C Ryan Lavarnway
Keith Law had noted that Middlebrooks and Lavarnway just...
Red Sox Prospect Brandon Jacobs Preparing for Spring Training After Offseason of Travel, Yoga
Brandon Jacobs had a chance to shine on the gridiron. A standout running back at Parkview (Ga.) High School, Jacobs pledged to Auburn and could have suited alongside quarterback Cam Newton. Instead, he traded college football for pro baseball. Slowly but surely, the Red Sox’s 10th-round pick in the 2009 draft is validating that decision, especially after blasting 17 homers and...
