2007 Pre-Season Rankings
The 2007 SoxProspects.com 2007 Preseason Top 40 prospect rankings were released today after votes were tallied from the SoxProspects community. Jacoby Ellsbury, Clay Buchholz and Michael Bowden topped the list. There were only sparse changes from the 2006 rankings, but there was indeed some movement based on winter ball success and Spring Training scouting reports. Check out the home page for the new rankings! The site will be updated daily throughout the season, and the rankings will be updated every Friday once the season starts. Also, keep in mind that certain Red Sox players were no longer eligible as "prospects", including Jon Lester, Craig Hansen, Manny Delcarmen, Craig Breslow, and Devern Hansack.
