Scouting Book ranked Buchholz as the number one pitching prospect in baseball, and the number three prospect overall. He was ranked behind only Reds outfield prospect Jay Bruce and St. Louis prospect Colby Rasmus. I'm eager to see rankings from other sites such as Baseball Prospectus.
Scouting Book also ranked other Red Sox prospects. Other member of the Red Sox who were on the list include Jacboy Ellsbury (22nd), Lars Anderson (45th), Justin Masterson (47th), Michael Bowden (50th), Jed Lowrie (70th), Oscar Tejeda (90th), Daniel Bard (110th), and Craig Hansen (119th). Wait, Craig who?

Craig Hansen Hurt By Sleep Disorder?
Hansen underwent a procedure today which was meant to cure the sleep apnea. The sleep disorder has reportedly caused Hansen to be exhausted for during much of his activities throughout the day. Whether this will cause his control issues has yet to be seen, however.
Hansen's still got potential. He can throw the ball 98 mph, and has a slider gets up to about 88 mph. But at age 23, it will be hard to talk about Hansen's "potential" for many more years. If Hansen can't walk less than a better every other inning at the Triple-A level, he'll never have much of a future in the majors.
