Obviously there are too many prospects for MLB IF positions. And there's no way all of these guys will hit. A bunch will fizzle out and/or get traded. But over the next two seasons, there's a number of guys that could step in and contribute to the MLB club. By the end of 2024 SoxProspects thinks that the following guys could be fixtures in Boston: Mayer, Casas, Rafaela, Yorke, Valdez, and Lugo. Again, no chance they all make it, but there's tons of high quality organizational depth at the IF positions.
I want Devers and X here, because I'm attached to those guys and they're really good, and there's not a huge chance that any of these prospects will ever be as good as either Devers or Bogaerts. BUT....the organization is in the best place maybe it's ever been to withstand losing guys of this caliber.
