It's behind a paywall, so I won't post the entire thing, but there were a few very interesting tidbits.
1. Yoan Moncada
2. Rafael Devers
3. Manuel Margot
4. Brian Johnson
5. Henry Owens
6. Rusney Castillo
7. Javier Guerra
8. Michael Kopech
9. Anderson Espinoza
10. Sam Travis
Marco Hernandez is mentioned as a prospect who is rising through the system quickly and they have Chavis and Cecchini falling. They also had write ups on the first five picks from June. Benintendi's was as follows:
The projected lineup for 2018 was C - Swihart, 1B - Devers, 2B - Pedroia, SS - Bogaerts, 3B - Panda, LF - Moncada, CF - Margot, RF - Betts, DH - Hanely with Porcello, Rodriguez, Johnson, Owens and Kopech in the rotation and Light closing.
There is lots of interesting information in the full piece.

The Midseason Top 10 Prospect lists are compiled from conversations with front office officials and scouts from all 30 teams. Players who have exhausted prospect eligibility or were in the Major Leagues on June 26 are not eligible. Draftees from the 2015 draft are also not eligible.
1. Yoan Moncada
The Red Sox spent $63 million (including a 100 percent tax on his bonus) to acquire Moncada’s services and sent him directly to low Class A Greenville this year after an 18-month layoff. He still shows the power and other tools that attracted suitors—but not without flaws. Moncada is athletic and can run well at times, but there are questions about his effort in the field. And though his power shows up in batting practice, scouts see an in-game swing more geared toward line drives than home runs. He’s on a hot streak now with three home runs in his last four games.
2. Rafael Devers
The 18-year-old’s prowess has drawn rave reviews since the Red Sox signed him in 2013, and for good reason. At low Class A Greenville he’s continued mashing. He shows excellent bat speed and strike-zone discipline, but will need to watch his body to stick at third base.
3. Manuel Margot
Margot started 2015 at high Class A Salem by going three weeks without a strikeout, and in the process continued to show off the impressive tool set that’s made him one of the system’s better prospects. A true center fielder with a ton of range and a strong arm, Margot has reached Double-A Portland and projects as a leadoff-type hitter with some power.
4. Brian Johnson
5. Henry Owens
6. Rusney Castillo
7. Javier Guerra
As pure a shortstop as you’ll find in the minor leagues, Guerra isn’t a glove-only player. He’s got a line-drive swing that helps him project to be an average hitter at the highest level with below-average power. He also displays strong leadership qualities on the field.
8. Michael Kopech
9. Anderson Espinoza
10. Sam Travis
Boston’s second-round selection in 2014 has shown the same big-time power he did at Indiana while reaching Double-A Portland. More than that, he projects to hit for average as well as power. Scouts also like his athleticism to the point that they believe he could play the outfield if need be.

The BA College Player of the Year, Benintendi shows a mix of power and speed from a contact-oriented approach and exhibited the skills to make him a true center fielder.
