summary at end:
"The big league team is in first place, and there are some young players who are ready to help now or within the next year, even if Jose Iglesias turns back into a pumpkin. Bogaerts and Bradley (at least in Triple-A) have lived up to their press clippings, Workman looks ready now, and there is more behind them, with Garin Cecchini standing out in particular.
Anthony Ranaudo has finally shown what he can do when healthy and his stock has moved back up. Alex Wilson has helped in the bullpen. Mookie Betts is having a breakout season in A-ball. Results from Kukuk and Francellis Montas in Low-A have been spotty, but both have plenty of stuff. The lower levels have a lot of high-ceiling guys that we need to see more from, with the 2013 draft group (Trey Ball, Jon Denney, Teddy Stankiewicz) looking like a great haul, on paper anyway."
