I'm actually pretty surprised that Bradley/Bogaerts aren't top 20 prospects. Regardless, 3 in the top 32 is pretty freaking solid.

You wonder if Bradley would be a top 20 had he played an extra 30 games in AA while they did the ranking. Right now he hasn't lost a beat after Salem.

Bradley's limited power potential makes him a 4 tool guy and hurts him in scouting ratings. But it shouldnt deter the sox from advancing him.
