ESPN's top 100

Keith Law is out with ESPN's Top 100 baseball prospects.

A couple of Red Sox related notes:

• Boston has seven players on the list.
  
  

  18	Casey Kelly, RHP, BOS
  32	Ryan Westmoreland, OF, BOS
  53	Anthony Rizzo, 1B, BOS
  56	Lars Anderson, 1B, BOS
  86	Ryan Kalish, OF, BOS
  91	Jose Iglesias, SS, BOS
  98	Junichi Tazawa, RHP, BOS





• Here's the list of teams with 5 or more prospects in the top 100 (and one other team, chosen not quite at random.)
  
  

  BOS	7
  TAM	6
  ATL	5
  CIN	5
  CLE	5
  ...	...
  NYY	2





• Had they not made the Victor Martinez trade last summer, the Red Sox would have eight players on the list, as Nick Hagadone, who went to Cleveland in that deal, is number 100.



• Baseball prospects are a risky commodity, with a significant failure rate. This really is a case of the more, the better, because the bigger the group that you have, the more likely it is that you get a couple of good Major League players out of it.
