Happy New Year to all of our readers!
We’re going to try something new this year and ask for help from our forum members in one specific area. With the proliferation of Twitter and the slow death of RSS, we have struggled for the past couple years to aggregate all the news stories and columns about Red Sox prospects – whether it be from major outlets like The Boston Globe or Baseball America, or from regional outlets like The Roanoke Times, Greenville News, or Lowell Sun. We use these stories for research, for mentioning in our Weekly Notes columns, and for posting bullet-point links on the SoxProspects.com home page and other rankings pages.
In 2020, we’re asking this community for help in aggregating this type of news by posting links into this thread. We’re looking to make this thread LINKS ONLY – no discussion. If you want to discuss a particular column, absolutely please feel free to repost the link in that player’s thread (if there is one), or start a new thread on the player or the column.
Your help is greatly appreciated and will go a long way into improving the overall experience of the site this year! We will even provide a reward in the Fall for the forum member(s) who contributes the most to this thread (thinking SoxProspects apparel).
Again, thanks for any help you can provide!

Here's the link to the MLB post about possible breakout prospects, with Jimenez one of the names mentioned.

Top 20 Dominican Summer League Prospects has Brainer Bonaci at #8. 8. Brainer Bonaci, SS, Red Sox Born: July 9, 2002. B-T: B-R. Ht: 5-10. Wt: 165. Signed: Venezuela, 2018. Bonaci signed a $290,000 deal with the Red Sox when he turned 16 on July 9, 2018. He weighed around 140 pounds at the time and has since put on another 25 or so pounds, though he's still wiry and physically underdeveloped. In his pro debut, he showed advanced game skills offensively and defensively and was hitting .344/.413/.480 at the all-star break, though he ran out of gas and battled through fatigue the final month of the season. Bonaci lacks strength but still has the whip in his bat to generate sneaky power, which he showed with three home runs, though he's mostly a line-drive hitter. His approach is advanced for his age and he has good bat control from both sides of the plate. Bonaci has the ability to play with a calm, under control tempo, slowing the game down well with fundamentally sound defense for his age. He reads hops well, has secure hands, easy defensive actions and a plus arm that might still tick up in the next few years as he gets stronger. Wilkelman Gonzalez, a 17-year-old Venezuelan righthander whose velocity jumped to 95 mph this year, is another DSL Red Sox prospect to watch. www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2019-dominican-summer-league-top-20-prospects/

Fyi, this isn't for transactions but more for stories and notes about players. Thanks!

They can be discussed in threads. It's fine.
