Sox clinch AL East!
With their win tonight over the Minnesota Twins and the Yankees' loss to Baltimore, the Boston Red Sox have clinched the AL East Division title for the first time since 1995. The Sox will face off against the Anaheim Angels in the first round of the post-season. SoxProspects.com would like to congratulate Clay Buchholz, Jonathan Papelbon, Brandon Moss, Dustin Pedroia, Jon Lester, Jacoby Ellsbury, Manny Delcarmen, and Bryan Corey for their contributions to the division crown.
In April 2006, SoxProspects.com ranked the pictured prospects as follows: #1 Jonathan Papelbon; #2 Jon Lester; #4 Dustin Pedroia; #5 Manny Delcarmen; #6 Jacoby Ellsbury; #8 Clay Buchholz; #10 Brandon Moss. Corey was not with the organization at the time. While not pictured, former Sox Prospect Kevin Youkilis made tremdendous contributions to the club in 2007, and ex-prospects Kason Gabbard and David Murphy surely helped the Sox to a few wins this season.
