I was so psyched to see this populate in my twitter feed. The guy's a monster, although he's pitched a lot this year. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts to peter out a little in AAA.

Another hot list, another red Sox pitching prospect.

Well deserved. Now the question is, will he start 2015 in Boston??

I have a better question: where are the Sox gonna put all these guys? By 2016, we could see a rotation with Ranaudo, Owens, Barnes, Workman, delaRosa, and Webster, with Pat Light and Trey Ball not far behind. And notice I didn't even include Buchholz; he could be anywhere from a #1 starter to a bullpen arm by then.

Don't forget Brian Johnson as well.

I doubt Workman is a starter for much further than 2014. Light also has nearly as many walks as strikeouts in A+ ball, and doesn't project as much of a starter either. Ball is a long ways away, 2016 would be extremely optimistic. He's probably a 2017/2018 guy at best. Johnson is a wild card because his stuff doesn't project all that well, but he's dominated at nearly every level so far. His chance at AAA will come next year, and they'll see if he can hang.

The rest of this season will likely determine if any of Ranaudo, Webster, De La Rosa have a future in the Sox rotation. Next year will likely be Buchholz, Kelly, a FA, and two of the above.
