Someone, I think it was rabbit but perhaps not, noted this...not sure what the time frame was, but it was about the idea that Sox minor leaguers eventually produced the highest WAR at the major league level, maybe in 2014 or 2011-2014 or something like that? Trying to figure it out. I'm probably leaving some obvious names off the list.

April 26, 201510 yr Author Haha...I knew I'd do something obvious like that. As it was, was waiting for someone to say we really couldn't take credit for Abreu, Quintana and Alexei...or very much (except for the scouting department/GM).
