Hey guys, I was wondering if someone could give me the lowdown on the Sox farm system? I read in the winter that the system was severely weakened after trades with the Phillies and DBacks, but it seems that pitchers like Tracey, Haeger, and Broadway might disagree with this (not to mention Sweeney and Fields). I guess my questions are, who are the guys worth keeping an eye on? What sort of schedule are they on in terms of when they will reach the majors? And finally, will the Sox be able to fit these guys on their big league roster, or will most of these guys end up as trade bait (ie do the Sox plan to replace Crede with Fields or will Fields be shipped out)? Thanks.
