As crazy as it is to have 4 of the top 20 prospects in the BA rankings, what I find even more crazy is out of those top 20 the Red Sox have 3 of the 4 youngest prospects. Espinoza (youngest) - 17 Devers - 19 Urias - 19 Francis Martes - 20 Moncada - 20 Martes is 6 months younger than Moncada, so it's 3 of the top 5, but that's a great catch and indeed amazing. It indicates how how the upside of those three guys are. And if you want to ignore arbitrary cutoffs, it's 3 of the 4 youngest prospects in the top 19 (including the 2 youngest), since Martes is #20. It's also 3 of the 5 youngest players in the top 25 -- Nomar Mazara and Austin Meadows were born earlier in the same month as Moncada.

I don't see anyone younger than Espinoza in the entire Top 100.
