- It’s no secret that 2011 – 1st rounder Blake Swihart is the future catcher in Boston. His superior makeup, athleticism and defensive chops have the organization and fans alike chomping at the bit. This makes guys like Romanski expendable; and I think the San Diego State Univ. alum could be nice trade bait for an organization looking for a solid, not spectacular, backstop.

- I considered keeping Travis, an Indiana University grad, under wraps and revealing him as my 2015 Red Sox Breakout prospect. However, his impressive debut trumped the possibility that he’d fly under the radar long enough for me to tab him UTR Breakout material. His 0.34 PAG deviation from Lowell (3.53) to Greenville (3.19) leaves me excited to think a nice step forward offensively could be in store for 2015. AAA Pawtucket’s Travis Shaw currently sits atop the Red Sox first baseman prospect rankings and he should. He posted a 3.53 csPAG between AA Portland and AAA Pawtucket. With another solid season by Sam Travis paired with Shaw’s age and struggles to hit for more power, (Sam) Travis could slip past the other Travis to a top-tier organizational ranking.

- I was thrilled to see Rijo have a great season. The 5’11 – 170 lb. Dominican was my pre-season Red Sox Breakout Prospect of the Year choice for 2014.

- The young Devers could easily crash several 2015 pre-season and certainly mid-season Top 100 prospects lists. He posted my highest Red Sox 2014 csPAG score among all players who will UTR qualify heading into next season.

- A premium prospect who should be owned in ALL dynasty fantasy baseball formats. He does it all: hits for average, power, has speed, has premium arm and glove.

- Light’s appearance on the list is indication of how weak the Red Sox system is.. in regards to starting pitching. He just nudged out Justin Haley and Luis Diaz for the final spot, had they not received their promotion to Double-A Salem and thus dropped off my tracking radar. He also had +.046 increase of his TPS rating from 2013 which signals, according to my system, that Light is a bust and will most likely become organizational filler.

- 2014 UTR Breakout
- Gunkel was my selection to have a breakout as a relief pitcher for the Red Sox and he started the season looking like my prediction was right on the mark. His true breakout came in late June after being promoted to HiA Salem and was placed in the starting rotation going 3-0 with a 2.12 ERA over 29.2 innings for the month. Gunkel held a cSR/TPS in the high 60’s into early July, but fatigue may have set in as it began to rise along with his ERA. Gunkel actually finished #2 on my list for Mention Points (7) for relief pitchers , but his 15 starts over 27 appearances qualified him as a starter where he also finished in the top 10 with (5) Mention Points.
