Sickels: Boston Red Sox Top 20 Prospects for 2009 Stares at worthless Jimmy Schankle autograph… 1) Lars Anderson, 1B, Grade A-: Will hit for power and average, I’m confident home runs will increase. 2) Michael Bowden, RHP, Grade B+: Another personal favorite, strong command of solid stuff. 3) Daniel Bard, RHP, Grade B: Can hit 100 MPH, turned things around, command still a question but huge upside. 4) Josh Reddick, OF, Grade B: At this point I’m not that worried about Double-A struggles. Not a walk machine but it seems to work for him. 5) Ryan Westmoreland, OF, Grade B: ...

... Yamaico burst onto the prospect map this summer after his excellent play following a promotion to High-A Lancaster. The energetic infielder hit .348/.393/.508 in 231 plate appearances, albeit with a lot of strikeouts. Like George Jefferson, Yamaico is “movin’ on up” on many experts’ lists, including that of John Sickles (#9 in the system). His 2009 home depends on that of Diaz. If Argenis Diaz repeats AA, Yamaico will likely repeat High-A, this time in Salem, Virginia. ...

... Michael Bowden got a literal cup of coffee with Boston last season, making one start and getting the win with five innings of two-run ball. He was promoted to Triple-A after nineteen starts and a 2.33 ERA at the level below, and had a 3.38 ERA in 40 innings after moving up. Particularly of note, he walked just five batters there, and overall, has a nice walk-rate of 2.35/9 IP in his minor-league career. John Sickels rated him a B+ grade prospect, citing his "strong command of solid stuff." That made him Boston's #2 player, and was the same ranking as ...
