The Boston Red Sox won the 2018 World Series. They’ll be excused for not worrying too much if their farm system isn’t the deepest in the game at the moment!

As part of our continuing coverage at Call to the Pen of the minor leagues, we will be covering each organization’s top players for 2018. The coverage will go in reverse order of record. Today, we will finish with the Boston Red Sox.

We are going to review the system’s leaders for each organization statistically, then choose one hitter and one pitcher to honor for every team. This will be primarily based on statistical performance, though some “age relative to level” could come into play, so a very impressive season from a 28-year-old in AA will rank below a nearly as impressive season from a 20-year-old at the same level.

After we review each organization’s hitter and pitcher of the year, we will close out October with Call To The Pen’s Minor League team of the year. That will lead into November starting our team top 10 prospect lists. In other words, there will be plenty of minor league content on the way at CTTP, so keep coming back for more each day this offseason!!

Many blame Dave Dombrowski for tearing down the Boston Red Sox farm system. However, once the World Series trophy was raised this week, all was certainly forgiven with the work he did to build the Boston championship club.

While the Red Sox farm system is not deep, there is still plenty of talent in the system, especially at the lower levels, and if developed well, those players could be big in the future.

Before we offer up awards on the season, let’s take a look at the system’s statistical leaders:
