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?
Game Report: Chris Balcom-Miller, P, Boston Red Sox
I was in attendance for Chris Balcolm-Miller’s best start of the 2010 season. Over seven innings, Balcolm-Miller was nearly flawless allowing no runs and only three baserunners. As impressive as he was, this report will be atypical of what I usually post.

On a loaded Greenville infield, Dent played second base and shortstop while chipping in a .252/.350/.391 line at the level. He spent the final week and change in high-A as a preview of 2010. [...]

Scouting Report: Will Middlebrooks, 3B, Red Sox
After watching his draft video prior to the 2007 draft, I was convinced Will Middlebrooks would quickly become a top Red Sox prospect. However, injuries and serious contact issues have derailed his progress as he struggles to make it out of the Sally by the time he’s of legal drinking age. Is it too early [...]
