State of the Sox Farm System before the trade deadline and draft

[Polar Bear]

I took at a look at the Sox farm system using the new POrca+ stat and it is extremely disappointing on the hitting side. 

At AAA Sosa, Frazier, Reyes, Mondou, Colas, Perez, Sanchez and Remillard are playing above the average minor leaguer (most just barely)

Unfortunately, only Sosa, Frazier, and Reyes are playing at a decent clip above the average minor leaguer.  

Of those 3 only Sosa is a true prospect while the other 2 are almost 30 years old.  

Looking at AA, A+ and A, only Veras, Gladney and Chapelli are viable prospects based on their play this season and their age. The rest of the players doing well are old for their level and need to be moved up to a level that fits their age, otherwise I wouldn't get excited about them just yet.  

Montgomery doesnt show up as he is just starting to play this season.  Ramos is a littler further along but playing below average in his small sample of games. 

That's about it on the hitting side.  Jose Rodriguez was looking great before his callup but his slow start dropped him down below the average minor leaguer on the season depspite the recent hot streak.  If he can keep it going once he is back down in the minors he should keep moving up.  

The Sox are going to need a massive influx of good prospects in deals for Gio, Lynn, Liam, etc to turn the farm back into an asset. As well as kill it in the draft this year 

I imagine the pitching is much better and will try and look at that later in the week as well as look closer at the hitting (most of what I looked at was just over lunch)
