Tough to believe that the minor league season is over! On behalf of myself, Chris, and Ian, I want to take a minute to thank the SoxProspects staffers for all of their hard work this year. Some of these guys and gals put in a ton of work behind the scenes, a lot of which can go unrecognized. I hope you can join me in thanking them.
Thank you to our writers who bring us the Cup of Coffee, Weekly Notes, and other features! James Dunne, Will Woodward, Jim Crowell, Nick Rabasco, Eric Gendron, and Conor Duffy. Same goes for our editors, Harry Burnham and Ian Dalley.
Big props to our web editors! Matt Picard keeps the transactions and rosters pages up to date every day, among many other responsibilities. Mike Reynolds runs our stats database. JP Kitson and John Lyons-Harrison cover our social media. And Joe Tetreault, Allyson Gagne, and Steve Guglielmo help keep the rankings pages updated every day (among other tasks). Thanks all!
A special shout out to Chaz Fiorino who chips in on scouting, Kelly O’Connor for her amazing photography, and Dick Duggan for tracking our rankings history! I also want to thank our mods for keeping the forum discussion going! John, Norberto, Norm, Joel, Jason, and Michael. And on behalf of myself I also want to thank Chris and Ian. Chris does a ton of work supervising several areas of the site, editing, and hosting the podcast. Ian scouts dozens of games annually and has written dozens of great features this season. Thanks guys! Last, I want to thank all of our readers and forum posters for sticking with us even after so many prospects got traded!
Overall, it was another great year at SoxProspects! Looking forward to the Red Sox in the playoffs this October (fingers crossed), the off-season, and next spring.
Cheers!
Mike

I add my thanks to you and the SP staff for your fine work keeping us well informed in prospect news. Scouting reports are excellent as always. Going to miss my affiliate scores with my morning coffee.
All the best for the post season and offseason activities"

Read the morning Cup of Coffee every single day, couldn't imagine life without this great website. Thanks to everyone for the quality work and I'm excited for the offseason content!
Iakovos11 was spectacular with the minor league game threads.

I go back to the later days of Tony C, but never have I learned so much as from the 10+ years reading and occasionally posting here. I grew up as an early day stat head, but the staff and posters are so far beyond me with all the modern stats. The scouting reports have taught me what to look for in pitchers. I love reading the game threads for camaraderie and to confirm my irritation with umpire strike zones. As a sox fan growing up in N.Y, and now here great to share with my own tribe! Often when I see Sox caps here in Colorado, or in my travels I tell them about this wonderful site, which is my favorite forum on the internet. I don't go to any others as the level of knowledge and the courtesy are pretty matchless! I thank all the hardworking staff as well as the great posters! Thanks.

The staff and the administration on this site seems to get better and better every year. I may be just being biased, but it looks more and more legit as the years go by in terms of ranking Karma predictions, and accuracy of the players attributes
Although I didn't see Christian Vasquez turning out to be a .300 hitter with some stolen bases after that Tommy John surgery
You guys were high on Dustin Pedroia all along while he slumped and stunk up the place at first but everything you predicted ended up coming true and that's just one example
Edit- I don't know how I put Karma in that post
Edit edit- All the times ive typed vaZquez in, just to stare at peripheral stats for hours I should know how to spell it!

I know the FO made some moves with a lot of these kids but what a stretch of graduations. I believe it s hard to find another franchise with the success of this system. I find it amusing when you have a team with 5 top 100 but I say to myself who makes it ,who doesn’t it’s the real test. Right now there commodities on the market in theory.
I excited for a new wave especially the pitching I believe we are looking good. Thanks to Soxprospects. We can watch the kids grow on the top club also.
