History
SoxProspects.com was launched on September 20, 2003, by Mike Andrews. The website was originally designed to rank Red Sox prospects, but expanded to include a podcast, a forum, a news page, and other features that cover the entire Red Sox organization.[1]
The website has become widely recognised as an essential component for information of the Red Sox minor-league system. Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic called SoxProspects "the definitive voice of Red-Sox minor-league coverage".[2] Alex Speier of The Boston Globe stated that the website "has assumed a prominent place in the ecosystem of Red Sox fans, players and their families, officials, and competitors [...] occup[ying] a critical place in coverage of the minor league system that is unmatched in any other market."[3]
