However, Law\u2019s appreciation for the Red Sox system spanned to a surprising level.<\/p>\n<p>Law ranked Boston infield prospect Franklin Arias as the No. 42 overall prospect in baseball. For reference, Arias did not crack the Baseball America or ESPN Top 100 lists.<\/p>\n<p>MLB Pipeline does have the Red Sox infielder as the No. 76 overall prospect. The 19-year-old is just getting started with Low-A Salem, but his brand is already known around the sport. He won Florida Complex League MVP and made his first jump in the Red Sox system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s got tools and athleticism to spare, showing excellent bat speed and wrist strength already, along with a fantastic swing that has great rhythm to it and lets him get his lower half involved more power,\u201d Law wrote. \u201cHe\u2019s a true shortstop with soft hands and solid instincts already, showing a plus arm and above-average speed on both sides of the ball. Arias just turned 19 in November and probably gets to High-A at some point this year, given how good his contract skills are already.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Arias could join younger prospects such as Miguel Bleis as the next leading prospect wave for the Red Sox after the Anthony\/Mayer regime graduates to the majors.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Athletic&#8217;s Keith Law ranked multiple Boston Red Sox prospects on his Top 100 list, including an unexpected infielder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":30676,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
