Ryan Westmoreland is one of the top prospects in the Redsox farm system. He was highly regarded in the 2008 draft, but scared off many teams by potentially going to college at powerhouse Vanderbilt. Boston drafted Westmoreland in the 4th round and paid him two million to sign. Westmoreland made his minor league debut in June for the Lowell Spinners of the New York Penn League. I saw Westmoreland play in one of his first games of the season. He showed excellent bat speed, plus plus running speed, and a good eye at the plate. Westmoreland got hurt late in the season but he should be well by spring time. 2010 will be Westmoreland's debut in full season ball. He needs to show a few things before vaulting into a top 20 prospect, health, power, his plate discipline that is good, and how good of a fielder he is after missing some much time from the field. Westmoreland is forecast to play for low-A Greenville next year. I honestly think he will have a strong year next year.
Fearless forecast: .290 30 2b 10 3b 18 HR 80 RBI's 77 BB's 110 K's 35 SB 4 CS.
