Martin is on the Sox, I don’t recall him being sent down.

Yeah I feel like that was a typo and he meant MLB.

He has to make mid season top 100 lists. He’s showing big league tools and is 2 years younger than average for A+

Nah it’s not enough power honestly for a corner guy. I’m not even sure I’d have Ramos as a top 5 prospect in the system right now. I like him though

On pace for 20+ home runs and being underage is not enough power?

He won't be consensus top 100, I agree, but EL's write-up of Ramos on Fangraphs a month or 2 ago was very positive. I don't think it's impossible for him to crack the top 100/50 FV tier on that list.

I love your takes on prospects, but got to disagree with you here James.  Ramos is a legit talent and a .190 ISO isn’t bad for a barely 20 year old in A+, especially when he’s got good raw power and plus bat speed.

ZIPS had him as a top 25 prospect overall even before what I'd say has been a breakout season this year. ZIPS obviously can't see he might not stick at 3b, but if you put a lot of weight on age to level production, he's going to rate extremely well. Putting Ramos somewhere between `~75-150 on an overall list doesn't seem crazy to me.

I agree but if Ramos is a top 100 prospect then the Sox have 5 top 100 prospects

Where would you rank Ramos in the Sox system?

3rd, but I think there's a cluster of guys in the same tier after Montgomery.

Probably somewhere in the top 3- You can’t teach that bat speed and quick hands.

Yea. I'm not sure I could feasibly have him outside my top 5 even if I tried.

Edited by DirtySox

I think at this point, I’d probably go: Montgomery, Sosa, Colas, Vera, Burke, Ramos and Rodriguez in some order.

Who do you have rated higher?  Montgomery obviously, but are you suggesting Colas, Vera, & Sosa as well?

Most have Montgomery rated higher than Ramos it would seem, and I will say that I don’t know squat about scouting. But when you compare their numbers side by side, Ramos is doing just as well as Montgomery at a higher level and he’s a month younger. That has to mean something, if you take Colson’s fluky high BABIP out of the equation they have near identical OPS. I’m not sure why people aren’t as excited about Ramos as I am, but again, like I said I don’t know anything about scouting and am forced to just rely on the numbers I see
