SS Argenis Diaz - May not hit enough to be particularly useful, but he is a plus-plus defender and that should make him useful enough, at least as a backup. On a team that values defense and has a deep lineup, Diaz could make a play as a bottom of the order player with some ability to slap some hits. He's certainly better than Tony Pena, Jr.
RHP Kyle Weiland - Interesting pitcher taken in the third round who had better success in the minor leagues this season than in college. Yet another college reliever that the Sox tend to turn into a SP, Weiland has a great fastball but needs to work on his secondary stuff, which both flash average with potential right now. Had an absolutely dominating debut (60 IP, 36 H, 68 K, 10 BB) but I want to see more.
RHP Felix Doubront - This guy has been around forever, pitching in Lo-A, A and Hi-A over the last four seasons, but he's still young. as he'll be 21 all of next season, and he's shown good control (115 K-24 BB in 118 IP last season). Unfortunately for Doubront, this is the first year he's had that good control since a 2005 performance in the VSL, which means he's a real question mark and headed to Lancaster next year. If he can continue that performance he'll crack the top 10, probably.
Others: SS Derrik Gibson (athletic SS, power?), 3B Will Middlebrooks (been around forever, will he develop?), INF Ryan Dent (Same as Middlebrooks), CA's Mark Wagner, George Kottaras, Dusty Brown (Are any good enough to be major leaguers?), RP Richie Lentz, Hunter Jones (will either reliever get a shot with the Red Sox deep pen?)
