He's a 23 year old 3B who brings plus power and plays good defense at the hot corner, and is very age appropriate for Triple A. That alone puts him ahead of many prospects. He may never hit better than .220 in the majors, but at the same time if he can hit 20 HRs and play good defense at third, he can be a good bench player and stick around for a few years. Simply put, he has a higher ceiling and floor than many prospects in our system. the main problem I have with prospect list is the inconsistency of how the ratings go from one baseball source to another. who is right who is wrong, no-one and everyone. I wish the guideline is used for a fair eval. however with that, I can't wait for the new list to come out. I think these guys do a great job. oh, fyi, the sox are now ranked 20.

July 30, 201411 yr I think some of you guys have Rondon way too low. If the dude hits like .220 he's a lock for the major leagues with that defense.

Regarding the time line, I think we're going to hold off on it until after the deadline in case the Sox make any additions that will need to be added. I bet you guys will never guess who's #1 99.9999% certain.
