Please, blog, may I have some more?

1. SS Franklin Arias | 20 | AA | 2027

Arias signed for $525,000 as the second highest paid player in Boston’s 2023 international class. Today, that looks like money well invested. A right-handed hitter listed at 5’11” 170 lbs, Arias wasn’t as good in 2025 as he had been the year before, but he was facing much older competition and still managed a 108 wRC+ in 87 High-A games despite slashing .265/.329/.380. The plate skills were still elite: 8.2% walk rate against an 8.9% strikeout rate, so the organization waved him along to Double-A for a ten-game stretch at season’s end. He hits the ball hard enough. Just needs to add some loft and grow into some man-strength.

1. OF Roman Anthony | 20 | AAA | 2025

A left-handed hitter at 6’2” 200 lbs, Anthony slashed .291/.396/.498 with 18 home runs and 21 stolen bases in 119 games across the top two minor league levels in 2024, setting himself up to fight for a spot in spring training. He got just 35 games at Triple-A but slashed .344/.463/.519 there and doesn’t have anything left to prove in the minor leagues. Here’s a bit of what I wrote when I ranked him atop this list last season: 

“I’m just trying to say he’s a player in flux and reminds me a little of Ronald Acuña at this stage in the sense that he’s got more than one path ahead of him as a hitter and could become a total-package type who slashes .300/.400/.500 on the regular.”

So far so good on this one.
