Interesting to see how weak first base is in the minors. Shaw was ranked as the #9 first baseman, and he is the Sox 20th ranked prospect. I guess some guys from other positions will eventually get moved to 1B, but it is strange that there is so little talent there. It's almost like relief pitcher prospects. Anyone can play 1B.

I also expect to see more of the JT Snow type 1B going forward than the Price Fielder type.

Very few MFYs here but their highest ranked player, Severino, projects to have #2 starter ceiling, at least that's what Callis said on Twitter while show was running:
@jimcallismlb 10h Works for me. No. 2 ceiling. @testaduda: Severino projection? Likely #3 stater/elite back end pen arm sound right?

I think mlb.com's rankings are infrequently updated and so are more conservative and likely to be outdated than BA/BP/etc. This is especially true for the team top 20s.

Gallo could be the new Ryan Howard, and that was a pretty good run for the first 5 years.

Callis' 21-25:
21. Henry Ramos, of. He had a scouting report all ready to go at No. 20, but then Edwin Escobar arrived from the Giants via the Jake Peavy trade and bumped him off the list. Currently sidelined with a stress fracture in the tibia in his left leg, Ramos is a switch-hitter with an advanced approach and the potential for 15 or more homers per season. An average runner with a solid arm, he has split time between center and right field as a pro.
22. Bryce Brentz, of. The 2010 supplemental first-rounder never will hit for a high average because he’s overly aggressive at the plate, but he does have the power and arm strength scouts look for in a right fielder. Injuries have sidetracked him the last two years, including hamstring issues in 2014.
23. Teddy Stankiewicz, rhp. A second-round pick in both the 2012 (Mets) and 2013 Drafts, he has had a steady first full pro season in low Class A. While he’s not overpowering, he can show a plus fastball and slider at times, and he does a nice job of throwing strikes.
24. Heath Hembree, rhp. The other piece in the Peavy deal, Hembree made his big league debut last year with the Giants and could help the Red Sox bullpen in the near future. He works mainly off a 91-95 mph fastball and backs it up with a cutter/slider.
25. Nick Longhi, of. Though he was a 30th-rounder, he got the fourth-biggest bonus ($440,000) in Boston’s 2013 Draft. Before a torn thumb ligament ended his 2014 season in July, he hit .330/.388/.440 and showed impressive hitting ability and power potential as an 18-year-old in the short-season New York-Penn League.

FYI, by "impact," they appear to mean fantasy impact. This is on Rotographs, their fantasy arm. I'll also toss in that I've never been a huge fan of Hulet's.

Good catch, I didn't notice that. I think the twitter link I followed was from Dave Cameron.

Not saying that I'm a fan of his work but he's the only prominent writer to notice Mookie's potential after his first season in Lowell. He's also canadian Chris
