The Boston Red Sox recently had six players named to MLB.com’s list of the top 100 prospects in baseball for 2013.

The Boston Red Sox have one of the better minor league systems in baseball, but not every prospect is going to be a star.

Fans rely on writers to help analyze young talent and predict who will even reach the big leagues, let alone be successful there.

Another day, another instance of controversial news regarding New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez.

The New York Yankees were linked to some big-time players in their search for a powerful righty hitter to add to their outfield depth chart. Justin Upton and Mike Morse come to mind, to name a couple.

Instead, it looks like the Yankees are ready and willing to go into spring training with a motley crew of righty sticks for their outfield and then figure it out from there.

With new allegations arising that Alex Rodriguez has been using performance-enhancing drugs (via Miami New Times), the New York Yankees are reportedly attempting to void the veteran slugger's remaining contract. 

The New York Yankees are fed up with Alex Rodriguez and the drama that surrounds him.

If Alex Rodriguez ends up missing all of the 2013 season following hip surgery, it might end up being a fortunate development for him. That is, in terms of avoiding the media. 

It's amazing how Alex Rodriguez finds himself in the news all the time.

And unfortunately for the New York Yankees, it's potentially another embarrassing situation.
