Catching Prospect Ryan Lavarnway Looks To Pass Jason Varitek On The Boston Red Sox Depth Chart
Some prospects have a clear path to the Major Leagues in their respective organizations; others have question marks about how and where they fit. Boston Red Sox catching prospect Ryan Lavarnway would fit into the latter category. The catching prospect has answered questions about his bat – 30+ home runs between Double and Triple-A in [...]

Boston Red Sox first base prospect Miles Head has had a tremendous first half en route to a .330/.397/.591 line. Is the bat for real? Or is Miles just playing above his Head?

Scouting Notes: Kendal Volz, P, Boston Red Sox
Boston Red Sox pitcher Kendal Volz spent the entire 2010 season in Greenville where he posted a very impressive 6.71 K/BB rate. However, at 22, he was old for the South Atlantic League as an overslot college signing who was expected shred through younger competition. Unfortunately for Volz, 127 hits allowed in 116 1/3 IP is anything but “shredding” as his impressive ratios were somewhat offset by the fact he was so hittable.
Prospect Video: Ryan Pressly, P, Boston Red Sox

Scouting Report: Jeremy Hazelbaker, OF, Boston Red Sox
Boston Red Sox prospect Jeremy Hazelbaker has piqued the interest of BoSox prospect following a 10/60 season for the Greenville Drive. Having recently celebrated his 23rd birthday, Hazelbaker is a bit ripe for the South Atlantic League, but supporters will point to his being a 4th rounder in 2009 as a reason to cut him some slack. Add to this a second half in which he raked to a .292/.373/.504 line with 31 steals in 39 attempts and it’s no wonder why questions about Hazelbaker’s prospect status began hitting my inbox.
Scouting Report: Derrik Gibson, SS, Boston Red Sox
Entering 2010, Boston Red Sox prospect Derrik Gibson’s prospect bubble was filled with helium. As the season draws to a close, his .241/.310/.319 line has sapped much of his prospect mojo. However, Gibson has chipped in thirty stolen bases and continues to play shortstop which are both pluses. Will 2011 be a rebound year for the former second round pick?
