Prospects: cumulative master list of all major experts’ rankings, Hey! Get ‘cha Red Sox, hee-yah!

Wouldn’t it be great of somebody took all the major Prospect lists and created a cumulative list for the Red Sox future stars?

Somebody did; Chris St. John, over at Steal of Home [http://stealofhome.wordpress.com/]

We will comment on some of the surprises on the Sox list and provide links to the complete body of work produced by Chris.[…spreadsheets…MMMmmm…]

He not only did it for the Red Sox, he will be doing it for all 30 MLB teams; to date, ten are completed; go here to see the schedule:http://stealofhome.wordpress.com/2012-prospect-rankings/

And, for those of you who like to play with the numbers, Chris will also be providing a link to the spreadsheet for every team. Red Sox fans can go here:

You can peruse the Red Sox list [below]; here are a few observations about it:

• Xander Bogaerts [307] tops the list and 11 Jose Iglesias [127] is way behind him at 11th.
• Young Blake Swihart [250 ] #4 edged out #5 Ryan Lavarnway [245]
• Felix Doubront, whom many experts are touting as a sleeper for the 5 slot in the rotation, landed 16th [28], further down than future star Anthony Ranaudo at #6 [229].
• Lars Anderson garnered just 8 points and almost became a non-prospect at # 23.
• Alex Wilson, who could be the “super stealth” candidate for the 5 slot in the 2012 rotation, finished 21st with 14 points.

And, now, with great thanks to Chris, is the cumulative list for the Red Sox:
