Which prospects stay with Boston?

Moss and Hansen are gone. Lowrie and Masterson are still here, and in Boston.

What other prospects do the Red Sox plan to keep? It is interesting to look at the Theo Epstein's organization and its future. So that's what we did in this week's Sunday column Check out the 2011 roster.

Just look at the prospects that contributed to Saturday's rout of the A's - Youkilis, Pedroia, Lester, Lowrie, Masterson, Smith ...

And now for a quick look at the minors:

Devern Hansack pitched 7 innings for Pawtucket (3 H, 3 R, 3 BB, 7 K) ... the original thought this year was to put Hansack in the bullpen. With his fastball/slider, that seems to be the best place for him ... and the one area he could contribute in Boston.

Zach Daeges hit two doubles for Portland and is now hitting .307.

Short-third baseman Yamaico Navarro is the lastest hitter to enjoy the California League. Since his promotion to Lancaster, Navarro is hitting .351 in 17 games, including a 5-for-5 night Saturday.

19-year-old outfielder Mitch Dening (.320) went 2-for-5 for Lowell.
