Baseball America's Top 100

Baseball America has come out with their list of the top 100 prospects in baseball. Here's where the Red Sox fit in, starting with the Demon Mystery Pitch man himself:
1. DAISUKE MATSUZAKA, rhp, Red Sox
Who needs a gyroball? He has six pitches that grade out as plus or plus-plus at their best, and he'll be the best Japanese import ever. And no, we're not forgetting about Ichiro
Opening Day Age: 26. ETA: 2007

33 JACOBY ELLSBURY, of, Red Sox
Boston downplays Johnny Damon comparisons, but the parallels are hard to ignore
Opening Day Age: 23. ETA: 2008

51 CLAY BUCHHOLZ, rhp, Red Sox
His fastball hit 97 mph at the end of last season, and at times it's his fourth-best pitch
Opening Day Age: 22. ETA: 2008

81 DANIEL BARD, rhp, Red Sox
His fastball eats up bats like few others, thanks to its velocity (up to 100 mph) and heavy life
Opening Day Age: 21. ETA: 2009
